Anthony DeJohn, Worcester Academy (MA) Committed to Endicott

Anthony DeJohn is a 6’4 guard who brings athleticism, toughness, and scoring prowess to the college level.

On the offensive end, DeJohn is a dangerous catch and shoot threat who also has the skill set to create space off the bounce and score inside the arc when defenders run him off the line. His size and physicality alone allow him to get to his spots, but he pairs those tools with his excellent footwork and body control to help him finish through traffic. Defensively, he competes with energy, stays in front of his matchup in space, and is consistently doing the little things, including taking charges and battling with the bigs on the boards. With his two-way tools and shot-making, DeJohn should be a valuable addition to Endicott.

He excels at seeing the floor, consistently makes the right reads, and creates quality looks for teammates, especially in the P&R. Steele is more than just a playmaker. He is also a reliable shot-maker who can hit shots from the perimeter, create for himself off the bounce, and use his quick burst to make his way into the paint and operate from there. Although he may not have elite positional size, he more than makes up for it with pace, toughness, and a competitive mindset on both ends of the floor. His IQ, shooting, and playmaking should prove to be very beneficial to the Eastern Connecticut program.

Zion Williams, Phillips Academy (MA) Committed to Dickinson

Zion Williams is a 6’3 guard who offers a well-rounded offensive skillset and great defensive value to a backcourt. He uses his size and strength to get downhill, finish at the rim, and play through contact, while simultaneously burning defenses with his outside shot. Williams can create for himself off the dribble, be the primary ball handler in ball-screen actions, and make the right reads when secondary defenders collapse. He plays the game at a good pace, which allows him to score in different areas of the floor without getting sped up. On the defensive end, both his strength and size versatility give him the ability to guard multiple perimeter positions and take on tough matchups. With his shot-making ability from the outside, physical tools, and positional size, Williams should be a strong addition to Dickinson.

Robertson has the ability to score at all three levels, including from behind the arc, while also using his handle and stop-and-start ability to get into the paint and make the right play. Defensively, he stands out with his motor, toughness, and willingness to take on difficult assignments. After helping Burlington win a championship, his steady presence, playmaking, and competitive edge should make him a valuable addition to the Colby-Sawyer basketball program.

With his physical tools, activity level, and upside as a frontcourt piece, Mayfield will be a strong addition to Bridgewater State.
