Karim Coulibaly, 2019: With his versatility and ability to switch on the 2-5 at 6-foot-9, Coulibaly's game aligns with much that is prioritized in today's high major game. He's got a dependable outside shot and a smooth left-handed scoring ability. He's a consistent threat to finish at and around the rim with his crafty style and penchant for attacking with either hand. A mobile forward, the native of Mali, Africa has evolved into a shot-blocker with the rare ability to contain guards.
Virginia, Maryland, Providence, Rutgers, St. John's and a host of other programs have offered the returning combo forward, he of the proven face-up game.
Louis Bleechmore, 2020: Few have developed physically over the past year at the same furious pace as the 6-foot-6 Bleechmore.
No longer a "scared sophomore," the deadeye shooter can dial in from downtown and stick tough shots. He's progressed from having sneaky bounce to being vertically explosive in traffic and pulling off wild finishes. He still needs to get tougher and look to impose his will more. He currently has an offer from Bryant on the table. Fairfield, Yale, and Tennessee have expressed interest.
Aime Ciza, 2021
The versatile left-handed forward has as much upside as any player in the program. He oozes of top-75 potential down the road.
With his left-handed stroke from outside and ability to get into the lane and elude defenders, Ciza has the chance to be a multi-dimensional guard/forward and ultimately a sheer mismatch nightmare. He's improved dramatically with his handle and adeptness around the rim. Ciza has also shown promise with his physicality and toughness on the boards, aspects which catapulted him to an offer from Southern Utah last spring.
Oli Jacquot, 2019: The cerebral 6-foot-1 guard has come in with a leadership mindset and a knack for hitting big, tough shots. He's chiseled up his 180-pound frame and displayed a feathery touch from beyond the arc while also hitting the elbow jumper with consistency.

Transitioning to a higher level of basketball, the transfer via Cedar Cliff (Pa.) has developed a playmaking acumen and an IQ that he'll likely utilize at both guard spots.
Dequarius Nicholas, PG: The Georgia native is very underrated. He comes in with a flair for the game and an oft-attacking style. He's got considerable elevation on his shot, shiftiness, and can score it at all three levels. Possessing natural leadership instincts and a competitive nature to himself, Nicholas could find himself operating the attack as a high-octane guard. He's capable of pushing the tempo, which would make sense as head coach Chris Chaney is known for enforcing a disciplined and controlled souped-up attack. You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who will outwork him.
Judah Jordan, 2019: The hot-shooting 6-foot-3 guard has the look of a well-built guard with a maniacal big game engine. He can get hot in a hurry and really knows how to permeate the openings of a defense and score the ball. He shoots it from 25-feet out with consistency.
Defensively, he's got a bullish style and will keep guards in front of him.

He's got a 4.0 GPA and has been taking advanced level courses since he got into high school.
Austin Galuppo, PG: The 6-foot-5 off guard has the potential to be a 3-point grenade launcher who can break open games with his sharpshooting acumen. Having increased his range, he's now firing in from NBA territory, backing up 3-4 feet beyond the arc seamlessly. He's developed a layer of sneaky bounce. He's got the chance to up his stock after packing on muscle. Bryant, Princeton, Pepperdine and several other Division-I programs are currently intrigued with the California native.
Tobias Long, PG: The 6-foot-6 forward has a versatility on both ends, an attribute which makes him an intriguing late bloomer caliber recruit. He possesses a fluid mid-range game and a face-up game. The Georgia native had 20 dunks last season as a high school senior and can make high percentage plays around the rim. Defensively, he can guard from the 1-4 and switch on guards.
Blake Owens, PG: The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 19 points and 10 boards in Oklahoma last season, displaying vertical explosiveness and sturdy around the rim scoring en route to a state championship. Owens has a know-how in scoring around the paint and can step out and knock down the outside shot. Defensively, he's got the length and awareness to be a rim protector at this level. He still needs to pack muscle onto his spindly 185-pound frame.
This body transformation, along with a national schedule that includes a heavily-billed matchup against St. Thomas More (CT) at the NPI in New Haven, Conn., has the chance to propel him into a pursued prospect.
Amiko Khazalia, 2019: A deft long range shooter with an advanced guard's skill set, Khazalia has the look of a traditional, tough European guard. He's got tight handle that's low to the ground and isn't afraid to play physical and dive for loose balls. He's very seasoned and poised, albeit he still needs to get bigger. He's got the potential to be a purified shot-maker with late-game poise.

The top-ranked player in his class in Estonia, the combination guard has gained considerable range on his 3-point shot.
He's tightened his handle and learned how to really break down a defense on his forays to the rim. The sophomore possesses an insatiable thirst for competition, a factor resulting in several eye-widening performances on big stages. His playmaking and ability to score off the dribble and around defenders has improved incrementally.
Jaden Gale, 2020: The 6-foot-6 forward has an evolving vertical game and the potential to be an explosive finisher. He's very young at just 16, with a wealth of upside with his scoring and ability to get out in the open court and produce.
The ball leaves his hands quite smoothly from 20-feet out. As he continues to develop his handle, he's got a chance to play high major basketball. Has an affinity of controlling the court, with the competitive juices flowing through his bloodstream.
Akrum Ahemed, PG: The 6-foot-5 guard/forward has deceptive hops and a vertically explosive game, an attribute that allows him to erupt with dazzling left handed dunks.
He's got a multi-positional skill set as the southpaw can hit shots from downtown and exploit mismatches by taking smaller defenders to the rim. After playing alongside a star-spangled lineup under legendary head coach Steve Smith at Oak Hill, the New Jersey native has the chance to emerge into a late stock riser at the Division-I level.
Chris Maidoh, PG: The Maryland native is laced with upside. He's 6-foot-10 with a dependable outside shot and an innate feel for the game. Defensively, he's shown he can protect the rim as a shot blocker with big, reliable hands.

If he can sustain the high percentage he shoots it at throughout the season, he's got the ability to be a legitimate zone buster at the next level. He's got a good IQ and feel for the game and is learning to play at a hurry-up pace and score the ball in transition.
Ben Curtain, PG: The Virginia native is a point guard who sees the floor exceptionally well and plays with his eyes perpetually up. He was a double digit scorer last year and has the upside of a dual threat guard who can stick 3-pointers and distribute well in the half-court set. He's got the build and toughness to make a seamless transition to high level prep and post-graduate basketball this season.
Kobe Samake, PG: The 6-foot-7 forward can really fly around the court and snatch rebounds. He's got natural finishing ability, as he takes off from two to three feet away from the basket and dunks it with either hand. He still needs to develop a consistent jump shot. Has an exceptional bloodline and a lot of upside.
Khayden Stewart, 2019: The tough, Canadian guard has a quick first step and knows how to score the ball in creative fashion.
He's got a nifty handle and can handle the rigors of engineering the offensive attack. His jumper and his ability to create his own shot have been noteworthy components of his game. Defensively, he will provide on-ball tactics and guard both backcourt spots.

He's got a fluid shot and can really penetrate and stave off defenders in scoring the ball. As he continues to develop his motor, he's got the chance to be a dependable scoring source off the ball. Playing against considerably higher level competition will help ready him for the rigors of the NCAA.
