The 2024 Rens United 17u roster is as follows:
Kamryn Salters (2025) 6’3 small forward Notre Dame–Fairfield High (CT) – Salters is a tremendous leader which may be his best attribute. He can score from all 3 levels and has tremendous work ethic. A small forward that is able to help his team out tremendously in multiple areas. Is a player that can crash the boards in order to get rebounds. Has a penchant for driving to the basket and is a solid finisher on the offensive end. Uses his physicality and strength to hold his own on both ends of the floor, whether it has to do with scoring or defense.

AJ Trimboli (2026) 5’10 Guard, King School (CT), Trimboli is a knock down shooter, and he has a very high basketball IQ coming from a basketball family. His dad and coach, TJ, was a D2 All-American and his uncle Mike Trimboli was a 4-year starter and 2,000 point scorer at the University of Vermont. All FAA 2nd team and All NEPSAC for the 2023-2024 season. Trimboli has emerged this year as a go-to player. With an assassin’s mentality and his ability to get shots off at will, he can fill it up at any given time. What separates him is his high IQ on and off the court. He is a student of the game and understands efficiency. He has been on a tear lately, connecting on almost four 3’s a game. As a sophomore, he is in rarefied air, averaging 19 ppg while shooting over 50% from 2, over 40% from 3, and over 90% from the free throw line. Trimboli’s tight handle gives him the ability to ‘get to his spots, which allows him to consistently make the right play as he also the team leader in assists (4.1) and leads in steals (2.1). He is at the top of the opponents’ scouting reports. College coaches take note; as AJ Trimboli gets stronger and continues to fill out, there will be many more eyes on him. 3.6 gpa
