Our first hard look at the classes of 2025 and 2026 wrapped up this fall at the 2022 Pangos All-East Frosh/Soph Camp held last month (October 22-23) at St. Joseph Prep in Philadelphia, PA. Camp director Dinos Trigonis again brought in a talented group of young talent that featured players from 17 states and the District of Columbia and one Canadian among the roughly 240 players in attendance. It was a camp that touched Vermont and New Hampshire in the Northeast all the way down the coast to the Gulf of Mexico moving through the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.
The Sunday action wrapped up the weekend with two all-star games that featured the camp’s top prospects. The Top 60 game opened the two Cream of the Crop games as the White Squad broke open the game in the second half to win a hard fought 84-76 victory over the Black Squad behind 6’7” 2025 Osa Idada who finished with 10 points. He got solid support from 6’7” 2025 Nate Ament and 5’11” 2025 Tai Turnage who chipped in 8 points each while four others 6’3” 2025 Dayveon Lydner, 6’7” 2025 Shareef Jackson, 6’9” 2025 Kofi Asare, and 6’6” 2025 Halon Rawlins added 6 points each. The Black squad was led by 6’5” 2026 Adam Oumiddoch with a game high 13 points. He got solid support from 6’6” 2025 Ashley Sims II with 12 points and 6’4” 2026 Dylan Mingo with 11 points. In addition, 6’2” 2025 Sebastian Edwards added 8 points and 6’7” 2025 Vincent Chaudhri chipped in 7 points in the loss.
The final game of the weekend was the Cream of the Crop Top 30 game that saw the White Squad break a 62-all tie with a 10-2 run that started with eight minutes left in the second then rolled to a 92-75 victory over the Black squad. It was a defensive struggle that seemed a lot closer than the final score! The White Squad’s top gun was game co-MVP 6’4” 2024 Maleek Thomas who finished with 18 points including 4 threes. He got solid support from 6’6” 2025 wing Christian Thomas who added 12 points and 6’7” 2026 A.J. Dybantsa who chipped in with 11 points and 4 assists. Also giving solid performances for the White squad were 6’6” 2026 Chidi Nwigwe and 7’0” 2026 Keiner Asprilla who finished with 9 and 8 points respectively. The Black squads leading scorer was 6’10” 2025 Badara Diakite who tied for game high honors with 18 points and had a handful of rebounds. He had solid support from 6’3 2025 Acaden Lewis with 16 points, 6’0” 2025 Danny Carbuccia with 11 points and game’s co-MVP 6’5” 2025 point wing Barrett Loer who finished with 10 points and 5 assists a number of key steals that kept his club in the game until the last eight minutes of the contest.
The camp displayed more size and depth than the first three and was a camp that featured a lot of excellent efforts on defense and the glass that made for some intense play and interesting matchups. That competitive intensity definitely made picking the top sixty players for the two all-star games even tougher than normal, as 128 players received votes for the two games and left us with a feel that the East will have a major impact in the overall depth of the Classes of 2025 and 2026 if they continue to progress over the next two to three years plus in high school! So, with that in mind let’s look at the top talent at the 2022 Pangos All-East Frosh/Soph Camp this past weekend in Philadelphia:
Top 30+ (Listed by Height)
PLAYER HGT POS CLASS HIGH SCHOOL (CITY STATE)
Keiner Asprilla 7’0″ C 2026 Don Bosco (Ramsey NJ)
This young post player had a good camp start as he runs the floor hard, finishes in the paint and has good hands to catch it on the move and finish. He’s still raw but his upside and size point to a bright future. He finished the weekend with 8 points and 4 boards in the Top 30 game. High majors should add him to the radar due to his size and early skill set as he enters high school.
Badara Diakite 6’10” C 2025 Northwest Catholic (West Hartford CT)
This physical and long post man can control the lane defensively and off the glass as well as catch and explode to the rim. He wrapped up weekend with a Top 30 game co-MVP performance with an 18 point and 6 rebound effort in the Top 30 game. Had he been there both days he would have also been in the overall camp MOP consideration! No doubt high majors better be watching this big man this season.
Logan Franz 6’10” C 2026 Gill St. Bernard’s (Randolph NJ)
Long and active Big can hit elbow jumper off the move or roll and kiss it off the glass. He has solid hands but needs to add strength to finish versus contact. He will continue to add strength since he has an OK frame that in time will add the bulk he needs. Mids-up should have him on the radar as he enters high school.
Al’ Tariq Reevey 6’9” PF 2026 Life Center Academy (Burlington NJ)
This active and athletic rebounder can start the break off the glass. He dominated around hoop with his active style in the paint and ability to play through contact. He finished the weekend with 6 points and 4 boards in Top 30 game. His skill set and length will intrigue high majors down the road. He finished the weekend with 6 rebounds and four points in the Top 30 game.
Winni Matta 6’7″ PF 2026 Father Judge (Philadelphia PA)
This athletic and strong rebounder has good high-post skills, can pick and roll and finish through contact or turn and pop elbow jumper. He has strong hands and grabs ball off the glass with authority. D-1 interest will come this coming spring on the circuit for sure.
T.J Crumble 6”8″ CF 2026 Lutheran East (Cleveland OH)
Athletic combo-forward can finish drives with highlights at the rim over and through contact. He can rebound and start the break and take it end to end. He hit 15-footers on the move but needs to extend range to reach full potential to go with his athletic gifts. Mid-ups should be taking a look at him this circuit cycle.
Jayden Taylor 6’7″ CF 2025 Sanford School (Hockessin DE)
Long and bouncy combo-forward has range to 17-feet off the dribble and can create drives and kiss or dunk in the paint. He showed that he can push it off the glass in transition and is a good defender and rebounder. He will see lots of D-1 interest over the next year based on his performance at the Pangos All-Frosh/Soph East!
A.J. Williams 6’7″ CF 2026 Bergen Catholic (Oradell NJ)
Talented young combo-forward can flat out attack rim off the dribble or alley-oop pass. He will crash boards and run floor and isn’t bashful about getting down and defending in the halfcourt.

A.J. Dybantsa 6’7″ WF 2026 St. Sebastian (Needham MA)

He has great tools and lots of time! He completed his Most Outstanding Player weekend with 11 points, 4 boards and 3 assists in the Top 30 game. High Majors better add him to their radar as he was stellar in every game we watched him!
Elijah Proctor-Moore 6’6″ CF 2025 St. Andrews (Middletown DE)
Athletic and long wing has a real nose for the ball off the glass, especially on the offensive end of the court. He can play good defense and is an excellent off the ball help-side defender. He needs to get stronger and more physical and continue to improve range on jumper and move to the wing in due time. All the pieces are there to keep mids or higher involved.
Halon Rawlins 6’6″ CF 2025 Nazareth Regional (Brooklyn NY)
This explosive and quick athlete has big-time bounce around the hoop and has the knack for offensive board tips and dunk backs. He has range to 18-feet on the step back and isn’t afraid to play defense too! He has time and will see lots of D-1 interest in the future as he gets stronger!
Cameron Smith 6’6″ CF 2025 LaSalle College (Wyndmoor PA)
Skilled combo-forward showed that he can face and knock down 17-footers or attack the rim off the dribble and finish in traffic in the lane. He is a solid rebounder and defender who needs to continue to extend range and add strength to draw D-1 interest on the circuit this year.
Brendan Oliver 6’6″ CF 2025 Blair Academy (Blairstown NJ)
Strong young combo-F can catch it in the lane and finish through traffic via the flush or kiss. He can face-up on the wing and attack off the crossover and knock down pull-up Js or finish drives. He needs to continue to extend range to move to the wing in the future. D-1 interest will grow!

He capped his weekend with a 9-point and 5-rebound performance in the Top 30 game.
Elton James 6’6″ WF 2026 Legion Collegiate Academy (Rock Hill SC)
Quick wing showed that he can face and drive to hoop and finish with bounce. He took rebounds and started break with the push and hit jumpers off the move with regularity. He got a little wild at times, but all the tools are there to draw D-1 interest. He can defend all three perimeter spots with his quick feet.
Yancarlos Cueto 6’5″ WF 2025 Central Pointe Christian (Kissimmee FL)
Solid wing has ability to crash the glass and start the break. He’s a good passer on the move and can create shots with either hand and knock down jumpers from the three-point line or off the pull-up. Good passer will see lots of mid-high interest if he continues to add strength to his lean frame.
Brandon Stores Jr. 6’5″ WF 2025 St Raymond’s (Bronx NY)
Athletic wing can explode to the rim to catch oops and finish over defenders. He showed range to 17-feet off the pull-up and is a good passer if doubled on the drive. He wrapped up his weekend with 6 points and 3 rebounds in the Top 30 game. Look for D-1s to take a look on the circuit next spring.
Jalen Rougier-Roane 6’5” WF 2025 Sidwell Friends School (Washington DC)

Julian Dent 6’5″ WF 2025 Notre Dame (West Haven CT)
Bouncy wing can get to glass, board and outlet or start the break. He sees court well and delivers it on the move. He can help side defend and doesn’t back down on “D”. He hit mid-range jumpers on move, but needs to extend range to draw level of D-1 interest his athleticism promises, so stay tuned!
Adam Oumiddoch 6’5 WF 2026 Bishop O’Connell (Arlington VA)
Solid wing with good ball skills and range on his jumper to the three point arc. He ramped it up Sunday morning and was aggressive on boards and attacked the basket.
