was the talk of the JSE Coaches Event and he did not disappoint showing off an impressive 6’11 and 240 pound frame. Vital is a traditional big and his NBA comparable would be Rudy Gobert. Vital is a quick jumper that runs the floor well and thrives in pick and roll situations. He is a servant big and does not look to score unless required, but when he has his eyes on the goal, he can finish. He is easily the biggest player in the state, and on the EYBL Circuit he was still a giant among the top players in the nation. He is a top player in the state because he has locked in on the basics and fundamentals and built his body. He will play college basketball in the future. He has interest from UNC, and Wake Forest and picked up plenty of offers in the state as well.

Vital’s 7 rebounds and 3 blocks were more than just stats, they were momentum-shifting plays. He’s a true rim protector, excelling with verticality and defensive discipline. He consistently challenged shots with arms high, chest square, and elite timing. Whether helping from the weak side or defending straight up, Vital altered countless looks. His relentless motor and positioning made him a difference-maker, anchoring the paint with authority.

D’Nharayane is a vital player for the offensive glass. He excels at putting the ball back in the basket after offensive rebounds and using his 7-foot height to his advantage to score in the post. Additionally, he effectively protects the rim, making it difficult for the opposing team to challenge him in the paint. D’Nharayane will be a big factor for St. Louis Catholic when the high school season starts.
