Jayden Hernandez (2026) 6’2 guard, Murry Bergtraum High - Hernandez started varsity as a freshman and sophomore. He led Murry Bergtraum to back to back PSAL Final 4. He quick and active hands on defense, that makes lethal using great stance discipline and relentless ball pressure. He also has a hard to stay in front of low and tight handle. Plays hard. Needs to bump up his gpa (2.8) to increase his opportunities at the next level.
Robert Phelps Jr. 6’4 guard, Bedford Academy - Phelps’ dad played at Providence and junior has that DNA. He is a lefty and fill up that stats sheet with points, rebounds and assists. 3.4 gpa
Jayden Lau (2026) 6’3 point guard, Christ the King High - Lau played this winter on the Christ the King High varsity team. He is a pass-first point guard, who can also score on 3 levels and can really shoot the ball. He has 10 D1 offers.
Miles Teixeira (2026) 6’6 forward, Edgemont High - A big time rebounder who is also strong at and finishing around the rim. He is a big strong 4man that can score inside and out. Started as a freshman at CHSAA super power, Stepinac High. He gets better every year. 3.8 gpa
Eric Bush (2026) 6’4 guard, Earl Monroe Renaissance High - City-gritty, New York style guard. Hard playing and tough minded. Quick-to-the-rim on his finishes.
Jeremy Gonzales (2026) 5’9 point guard, Christ The King High - A great see-the-floor/move-the-ball play facilitator. Works hard and low to turn ball handlers.
Brian Kapfer (2026) 6’5 wing, Fordham Prep - Kapfer has good court sense and is a selfless teammate. He needs to physically mature and move into the weight room to speed that process. If he wants to be great, he has the foundation of IQ and understanding, but needs build himself into a more physical attack man. 3.7 gpa
Adem Djonbalic (2026) 6’0 guard, St Peter’s High - A great on court communicator for a high school sophomore, which implies a confident understanding of the game. Adds value to his team’s flow. He is impactful as a drive and dish playmaker. 3.7 gpa
Lu Hingston (2026) 6’8 forward, Staten Island Technical High - Get used to reading about this guy. He is a lengthy, mobile and smart force around the basket. He can run the floor and is the most active rebound seeker on the floor. He also flashed a sweet, one dribble pull-up jumper. If he extends and expands on that skill, he will go to college for free. 3.9 gpa
Pharaoh Carrero (2026) 6’0 guard, Murry Bergtraum High - Carrero is quicker than the guys trying to guard him. He blows by with quickness, and a low and tight handle. He is an on-ball pest, getting underneath and into the opponent’s dribble.
