Friday, October 23rd, 2026

Manoa Deso, Notre Dame: The 6'5" sophomore has a strong foundation of skills to work off of moving forward as he gets accustomed to the United states game. He has a nice blend of size and guard skill to pair with his athleticism.

Christian Archie, Nichols: Christian Archie is a quick guard with a tight, yet crafty handle. Archie can score the ball on three levels, where he is at his best taking on his defender with his handle either creating space or getting downhill. Archie plays the game with a lot of toughness and no fear.

Maxwell DePalma, Shenendehowa: A dual-sport athlete out of the Albany area, DePalma has a good foundation of backcourt abilities to continue to build on. He can handle the rock and make plays for himself with the ball in his hands, and looks to keep building as a sophomroe this year.

Delphin Bogdan, Clarence: Brogan uses his body well for a guard as he can keep a defender at bay while driving to the basket, while for the most part attacking off the bounce. He can space the floor with outside ability, primarily off the catch as a set shooter.

Byron Barnes, Nichols School:  Barnes offers great length at the wing position. He plays a very smooth brand of basketball, as he is very effective in the mid-range, knocking down jumpers. To go along with his smooth style and mid-range play, Barnes has excellent passing IQ and can set up his teammates well.

CJ Lazor, Valley View: Another underclassman who made the short drive up from the Scranton area, Lazor showed off some of his skills. The Valley View has the ability to play tough and through contact on drives to the basket.

Jordan Speight, Bishop Kearney: Speight is a Forward in the class of 2029 who plays the game with a high intensity. He is a very good rebounder and can push the ball up the floor, and he is also comfortable playmaking.

Wesley Barrigar, Jordan Elbridge: The sophomore guard has the ability to be an asset to his team on or off the ball. He's able to make good decisions with the ball while offering some shooting as well.

Connor Reagan, Mendon High School: Connor Reagan is a great scorer who excels from beyond the arc. Reagan can score using his handle to create space from his mark, or do so off the catch. He has a very quick trigger; he doesn't need much space to get off a shot and hit.

Kaeden Dardar, Syracuse Academy of Science: Dardar applies constant pressure on both ends of the floor. On offense, he can get downhill and finish around the rim with some creativity, along with showing some shooting upside. On the other end, he hounds opposing ball handlers, playing with loads of hustle and defensive pressure.

Dwayne Knight, Rush Henrietta: Dwayne Knight offers a lot of length at the guard position. He plays the game with an edge; he isn't afraid to do the dirty work. He shows shooting capability from extended range, but is a corner specialist.

Tanner Leone, East Syracuse Minoa: Leone is another young guard from East Syracuse Minoa who came into the event to showcase his skills. He brings some ballhandling to keep the defenders on their toes while playing hard and showing some scoring upside. 

Jackson Woody, West Genesee High School: Another up-and-coming underclassman at West Genesee, Woody showed the different ways he can score the ball. He was able to get into shots right off the catch, while attacking the rim off the bounce and getting in the paint.

Kellen Cassidy, Baldwinsville: Kellen Cassidy is a smaller guard who can get to his spots and really simplify the game for himself. Cassidy can score at all three levels, he isn't afraid to get down hill and finish around the defense at the rim, but can also step outside and knock down the three.

Chance Wolfe, Binghamton High School: Chance Wolfe displayed his playmaking ability at E75 Upstate. He made smart reads moving the ball showing a solid passing IQ. Wolfe was good in transition, with some tough finishes around the rim.
