MIKE AIKEN | 5’9 PG | THURGOOD MARSHALL ’21
Coaches looking for a point guard in the 2021 class should take a close look at Mike Aiken of TMA. Aiken is a true point guard who consistently penetrates the defense, and from there he displays adeptness at finishing in traffic, and setting up his teammates.
QUINCY ALLEN | 6’8 SF | MARET ’21
There should be no shortage of high major schools in to see Quincy Allen this weekend. Allen is athletic and extremely skilled for his size. He should only improve as he continues to grow into his body.
JOSIAH HARDY | 6’6 F | GONZAGA ’20
Josiah Hardy is easily one of the most underrated prospects on Gonzaga’s roster. The hard-working forward excels defensively and is making strides on the offensive end.
TEGRA IZAY | 6’11 C | ARCHBISHOP CARROLL ’20
It would come as no surprise to see a high major school offer Tegra Izay after this weekend. His specialty lies on the defensive end, where he can neutralize an opposing big with his physical play and shot blocking ability.
SAVEON JACKSON | 6’1 G | KIPP ’21
Saveon Jackson is a hidden gem in the local 2021 class. He’s a tenacious perimeter defender who likes to get downhill and attack the basket.
MICHAEL KATSOCK | 6’5 SF | ST. ALBANS ’20
High-academic schools should definitely take a close look at Michael Katsock this weekend. He’s an elite three-point shooter who has recently made improvements to his overall game in areas such as rebounding and his use of the mid-range.
ISHMAEL LEGGETT | 6’3 G | ST. JOHN’S ’20
After breaking out on the EYBL this spring, Ishmael Leggett will likely be one of the most sought after recruits this weekend. While several mid-majors are actively pursuing Leggett, his recent play warrants serious consideration from high majors.
GEORGE PERKINS | 6’8 F | SIDWELL FRIENDS ’22
For schools looking to populate their recruiting boards for future classes, George Perkins will be a good prospect to check out. It will be interesting to see him develop under the care of Coach Eric Singletary and his staff.
STEPHAUN WALKER | 6’6 F | COOLIDGE ’22
Stephaun Walker was one of the best freshmen in the DCIAA a season ago, and is another name to remember for the future. He’s a forceful paint presence who takes pride in protecting the rim.
ROOSEVELT WHEELER | 6’10 C | JOHN MARSHALL ’21
Coaches will be fortunate to get the opportunity to evaluate, Roosevelt Wheeler, one of Virginia’s best bigs regardless of class. Wheeler should solicit plenty of interest from high majors after this weekend.
