Under the Radar Group 2 Stars

<p>Group 2 was one of the most dominant groups in the state last season as two of the top five teams were in Group 2. Camden was a dominant force all season as the Panthers won 25 straight games and finished as the top team in the state. Manasquan went 31-1 and took home its first Shore Conference title since the 1950’s. Group 2 is filled with big-time players capable of playing at the college level. Here are the top under the Radar Group 2 Stars.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850508" first="Jerome" last="Brewer"], 6’6 SF Camden 2021</strong></p> <p>The Panthers rolled to the South Jersey Group 2 title behind Kentucky commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="766063" first="Lance" last="Ware"]</strong>, Penn State commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850504" first="Ta’Quan" last="Woodley"]</strong> and Second Team All-State performer <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850751" first="Dajuan" last="Wagner Jr"].</strong> With all that talent on the floor, it is easy for someone to get overlooked, but Brewer was still able to make his mark on the team. The 6’6 wing has a smooth offensive game as he can knock shots from behind the arc, beat his man off the dribble and finish around the basket. Brewer is a D1 talent and will put it on full display for Camden again next season.</p> <p><strong>Jack Collins, 6’5 SG Manasquan 2021</strong></p> <p>The Warriors were dominant all season long, but they will sorely miss <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850360" first="Alex" last="Galvan"] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="896677" first="Kieran" last="Flanagan"]</strong>. Shore Conference Player of the Year <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="901942" first="Ben" last="Roy"]</strong> returns to run the offense, but he will need Collins to up his scoring. The 6’5 guard has a good release on his shot and moves extremely well off the ball. Collins is a solid defender who knows how to get steals. Roy is capable of carrying Manasquan in 2020-21, but the Warriors need Collins to be a consistent secondary scorer.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900330" first="Grant" last="Holbrook"], 6’5 SF Ramsey 2021</strong></p> <p>The Rams took home the North Jersey 1 Group 2 title behind Cornell commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850335" first="Sean" last="Hansen"]</strong>, Albany baseball commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="896682" first="Steven" last="Turk"]</strong> and Alabama preferred walk-on <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="896628" first="Jaden" last="Quinerly"]</strong>. Holbrook will be counted on to be the team’s go-to scorer and is ready for that role in 2020-21. He knows how to finish around the basket and understands how to run the wing. Holbrook has a good handle and is a solid jump shooter. Ramsey needs Holbrook to become the Rams’ top scorer if they want to repeat as North Jersey 2 Group 2 champions.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900363" first="Aidan" last="Kehoe"], 6’10 PF Pascack Hills 2021</strong></p> <p>The Cowboys fell just short of taking home the North Jersey 1 Group 2 title, but they should be in contention to win it again. Kehoe returns down low for the Cowboys and is ready for a strong senior season. The lanky 6’10 forward works hard on both ends of the floor and uses his length to block shots. Kehoe has a solid mid-range game and is a good free throw shooter. Pascack Hills is one of the favorites to win North Jersey 1 Group 2 title with Kehoe in the frontcourt.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="901971" first="Asim" last="Jones"], 5’10 PG Manchester Regional 2022</strong></p> <p>The Falcons were one of the top teams in the NJIC as they went 13-3 in division play. Jones is a dynamic point guard who is one of the more underrated players in the 2022 class. The 5’10 guard has a good handle and knows how to finish around the basket. Jones is more than just a slasher as he can knock down shots from behind the arc and make plays with the ball in his hands. Manchester Regional should be one of the top teams in Group 2 in 2020-21 with Jones back in the fold.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Players to Know:</strong></span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850757" first="Cian" last="Medley"], 6’0 PG Camden 2023</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="929516" first="Connor" last="Walsh"], 6’5 SF Manasquan 2021</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="901988" first="Andrew" last="Stack"], 6’2 SG Madison 2022</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="931025" first="Geoff" last="Schroeder"], 6’0 CG Rumson Fair-Haven 2022</strong></p>
