2025 Rilpuou Makoi (Team Loaded 17u):
“The younger brother of Gabriel Mabor, Rilpuou is another big who shows good glimpses of his ability to post up and operate down in the paint, while also bringing a true rim protector on the court. Mabor gives you those flashes of his improvement, being able to show touch at times but also moving well all around the floor. And again, he can make an impact defensively in altering shots.”
2025 Chandler Kennedy (Team Slay):
“Kennedy is a player that we highlighted constantly this past high school season, and I believe that he can help a program down the road. A gritty, tough, and quick guard who understands how to run the show, create with his speed off the dribble and is absolutely relentless with his on-ball defense that causes a lot of issues for opponents.”
2025 RJ Lacossade (Team Swish):
“Lacossade continues to be a weapon and leader for his team, as the 6’5 prospect finds ways to be an effective scoring option on the court. He runs the floor well, finds ways to create and get inside to score, showcases athleticism to finish at the rim, has good defensive instincts to impact the game in other ways, and brings a lot of versatility especially being able to make plays without scoring all the time.”
2025 James Wood (Upward Stars Carolina):
“Wood continues to be one of the focal points in this offense, finding open spots on the floor to knock down shots, but also making strong moves off the dribble and finish. Whether it is off the dribble or off the catch, Woods is able to score the ball effectively for his team.”
2025 Derek Ross Jr (Wildcats Elite 2025 Knight):
“He’s smart, quick, and crafty enough to consistently generate space, create clean looks, and score in a variety of different ways. Ross can effortlessly break down opposing guards, touch the paint, and make proper decisions. He’s also a pesky defender with sharp instincts for mirroring his assignment and forcing turnovers at the point of attack.”
