Pennsylvania Players In The 2026 NCAA Tournament (Part 2-Friday)

“The Dance” is in full swing. The pageantry. The experience. The bright lights and loud cheers. Thursday delivered the drama the March demands. Survive and advance. For Pennsylvania’s finest, the results were a mix of celebration and finality. Several programs featuring Keystone talent punched their tickers to Saturday. They extended their season. This strengthens the narrative that the “Road to the Final Four” continues to travel down the turnpike.

From statement wins to narrow escapes, day one reminded us how unforgiving March can be. A single possession, a single run, a single moment-everything matters now. And for those still standing, the opportunity only grows. Somehow field narrows yet the stage expands.

Just as half of the field advances, another wave prepares to take center stage today.

Day Two brings a fresh slate of Pennsylvania prospects into the national spotlight. These are players whose journey was shaped in gyms along the 76 corridor, like so many before them. For them, the tournament begins today. For others, its prepare for tomorrow.

Two paths, One stage.

Some will take the floor for the first time. They will stand under the bright lights. They carry the pride of their hometowns into March Madness. Each looking for the momentum that will carry them one win closer to the Final Four.

And as the bracket tightens and the margin for error disappear, one thing remains clear:

Pennsylvania’s presence in March is not fading its growing.

Jalil Bethea – Alabama (Archbishop Wood)

2024 Pennsylvania Player of the Year. A McDonalds All-American whose impact has been profound at Alabama. Look for Bethea’s minutes to increase as the tourney progresses. Take a look back in time and click on his picture to see PREP SCENE profile from the early 2020’s.

“Prep Scene saw Jalil go 0-7 from 3 in DC the first game of his HS career as a freshman and left the game impressed with his poise, confidence, release and you just knew Coach Mosco had himself a good one at Wood.”

Wade Chiddick – Villanova (Westtown)

Chiddick has been part of one of the premiere programs. This has been true from King of Prussia to the Main Line. The current Wildcat was once the lights out shooter Westtown needed to compete on the national stage. He played with arguably the best front court, I’ve seen in PA in Dereck Lively and Frank Kepnang.

“Malachi possesses an advanced understanding of the game, elite athleticism and the efficiency that gets a coach’s contract extension.” -Coach Pil.” -2021 while with Team Thrill

Once again I’ll wrap it up with the same conclusion. The story of Pennsylvania basketball pipelines feeding March Madness is very diverse. Our state remains in the Top 10 yearly for producing Division I talent in basketball. From the can’t-miss prospects to the often missed late bloomers, what matters now is who is still dancing in March. The beauty of this journey for PREP SCENE is clear. The same kid cutting down the nets in Hershey today could be showered with confetti tomorrow!

Enjoy another day of games.

Pennsylvania Players In The 2026 NCAA Tournament (Part 1-Thursday)

Long before the bright lights and media attention of the NCAA Tourney, the journey for many of these players began in Pennsylvania gyms – where the game is taught, toughness is expected, and winning matters.

Pennsylvania basketball has always been about more than just talent. It’s about development, discipline, and pride in where you come from. Prep Scene has followed many of these kids since their obscure games in back gyms on rubber floors in middle school, during their high school years in gyms with three hundred fans and in some cases ten thousand.

And as the NCAA Tournament unfolds, that foundation is once again on display.

Not in one place.
Not on one team.

But across the country – on rosters that all share a common starting point. Pennsylvania teachers of the game can take a bow. Here is a list of their kids playing on the first day of the NCAA Tournament. From youth, to middle school, to high school, prep and AAU – the Keystone State has molded this group and PREP SCENE has been there along the way to analyze and report on their magic.

Southeast Pennsylvania: Philadelphia continues to set the standard.

From the can’t-miss prospects to the often missed late bloomers – all that matters is who is still playing in March. The beauty of this journey for PREP SCENE is the same kid cutting down the nets in Hershey next weekend might be guarding a future lottery pick in the NCAA tourney tomorrow! Enjoy the games.

PANGOS ALL EAST Frosh / Soph: Bigs Steal the Show

Posted on by PREP SCENE
PREP SCENE

DAY 1 I Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

St. Joe’s Prep in the heart of North Philadelphia was the site of Dinos Trigonis’ Latest PANGOS ALL EAST FROSH/SOPH event. Past campers include: Rondae Jefferson (Arizona/Nets) Derrick Jones (UNLV/Suns) Ja’Quan Newton (Miami), as well as, Kyle Anderson and Wade Baldwin (Grizzlies) Isaiah Briscoe (Magic) Trevon Duval (Bucks) ect…Play back is available to watch @BallerTV.com

This years day one was dominated by Keiner Asprill, a 7’0 freshman from Don Bosco High School in New Jersey. He is a physically gifted athlete with a strong core and upper body. Keiner keeps a low base, establishes position early in the possession and has the ability to explode off the floor like a much smaller guard. His physical gifts, hips and explosion off the floor separated him from the other elite big men at the camp. Kid just makes it look easy. loves to duck in and roll’s out of the pick and roll with textbook precision. Potential through the roof, few kids I’ve seen make me say… thats a unicorn. Best prospect I’ve seen since Oscar Tswiebe (Kentucky) at 15/16 years old.

The next two bigs went head to head in an evenly matched contest. The All-Star format had them on the floor together for a few minutes each half. Although their games were different, each definitely dominated when alone on the floor and held there own respectively head to head. The first, 6’7 Shareef Jackson is a sophomore at Roman Catholic. He is young bol’ thick right now, but when that man body appears underneath that youth physique Look Out! Huge upside… Shareef is the best passing big I have seen in several years regardless of class. He thrives setting up his teammates, with great recognition of doubles-possessing guard-like tendencies when distributing the rock Ala Kevin Love or Greg Monroe. He uses his body well and finishes through contact but its his passing that jumps out as ELITE!!! His opponent was The Pennington School’s 6’8 sophomore Cheikh Falls, Cheikh was raw, high energy and an absolute stud on the block. He dominated the event with sheer “bigger stronger faster” athleticism among peers, relying little on his expanding offensive game. Here at PREP SCENE we are excited to see him this season on the HS trial.

Another sophomore big to keep an eye on this season will be 6’11 Luke Bevilacqua at the George School in Newton, PA. Luke was effective all day using his size to score easily with both hands often without much resistance around the rim. He demonstrated the ability to step away from the basket and make the long ball as well. Moreover, Luke was equally productive on the glass, playing with a high motor and consistently scoring in transition.

Depending on your style, needs and team dynamics, here are 4 bigs worth tracking and monitoring their progression as the winter nights heat up.

*Sidenote: Roman Catholics Schedule not located at time of print, but will be added when received/located.

PANGOS ALL EAST Frosh / Soph: Bigs Steal the Show

On The SCENE…

Posted on by PREP SCENE

Scotland puts together a dominate opening 13 minutes against Vision Academy (NY), then cruises to victory.

SCOTLAND, PA (GAME RECAP 11.11.21)

Life is usually a little slower in Scotland, Pennsylvania. Far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, there is a serenity- a sense of calm and peace in Franklin County. That is of course, unless you are an opponent coming to play the national powerhouse Knights. New York City’s Vision Academy found out real quick how fast life can get in the countryside. The Knights nearly deflected every other pass their opponent attempted early on. Scotland used all ninety feet in suffocating fashion to speed up the late arriving Vision Academy. The flawless defensive clinic by Coach Chaney’s team led to a 52 point outburst, while tallying 20+ deflections and 13 steals in only 13 minutes of action. During the span, 5’11 PG Shawn Fulcher (NY) tossed in 17 points, including 4 deflections and 4 steals. While teammates 6’4 G Jaden Alexander (CA) and 6’8 F Halil Barre (NY) combined for 20 points with several aerial displays that would make the Blue Angels envious. Scotland led 63-35 at the half. The trio added only five points in limited action after the intermission to cruise to an 85-62 victory. The Knights were outscored 27-22 during the running clock second half. Vision Academy was led by Brooklyn, NY product Tyshawn Jack’s 11 points.

Prospective Student Athlete Spotlights

Scotland Campus

Jaden Alexander – demonstrated elite athleticism, knocked down the open look and impressed at the defensive end.

Halil Barre – world class athleticism, chest in the rim leaper, with agility, timing and knack for the ball. A few months with Coach Chaney away from a power 5 offer – get in early!!! Stock-Riser.

Shawn Fulcher – created the tone at the defensive end, speed and change of pace make him hard to guard, lived in the lane, creative finisher at the rim.

Johannes Kirsipuu – (6’1, G (Estonia)) – Solid lead guard, facilitates, tight handle and ability to get team into sets, strong leader.

Jaden Pena – (6’4, F (NY)) – absolute workhorse, played with a contagious energy, wirey and physical, makes winning play and rebounds position.

Will Young – (6’3, G (TX)) – defensive specialist, strong-long lanky basketball build w/ ability to disrupt opponents. Defense equals instant offense. Excited to see offensive package in GAC play, didn’t need it in this one.

Vision Academy

Kevin Coleman (6’7 F (PA)) – competed every play, outmanned in paint, active on the glass, rim protected, and impressed against several opponent bodies in lane, showed limited perimeter package on offense- best around the rim, slashing.

Kenyon Elliott (6’4 G (PA)) – best on the wing, played point large segments of game.

Tyshawn Jack (6’6 G (NY)) – bright spot of the day, attacked rim with a vengeance, several above the rim plays at both ends of the floor.

ON THE SCENE: Hoop Group- Future All-American & Elite Camps

Posted on by PREP SCENE

FUTURE ALL-AMERICAN

CREME OF THE CROP

Alphabetical Order

Elliott Cadeau

Bergen Catholic (Ordell, NJ)

6’0          Point Guard

First thought after first sight, Cole Anthony-like assassin with the ball in his hands. Pure hooper, leaves defenders in quick sand. Demonstrated explosion off of the floor, range and elite playmaking ability. Passing ability and vision are different.

Justin Edwards

PREP SCENE

Imhotep(Philadelphia, PA)

6’5          Guard

Justin demonstrated an ability to shoot the ball. Great size, long athletic wing. First step and explosion at the rim separated him from the competition. Skilled with the ball in his hands, able to use length and speed to get into the paint.  Slashing/Scoring type… Capable of being an elite defender.

Aaron Goldstein

PREP SCENE

Xaverian (Brooklyn, NY)

5’10          Guard

Goldstein played his way into the “Creme of the Crop” with relentless effort from the point, dead-eye shooting and a knack for finding teammates in scoring position. He was getting it done off the bounce and looked fluid and confident in catch and shoot situations. Excellent ball screen-awareness/progression, consistently making the right read, leading to offensive production.

Jeremiah Jenkins

Darien (Connecticut)

5’11          Guard

Jenkins demonstrated an ability to do it all consistently at both ends of the floor, as an elite guard. Highly skilled and understand the game and pace. Effective down to his screen setting. He has a profound ability to pass the ball, makes the easy, smart play with the ability to make difficult plays for most his age, look simplistic.

Luke McEldon

Highlands (Warrenton, VA)

6’10          Center

Luke’s presence was felt in the paint all week. Thick frame allowed him to control the lane for his team. He scored around the rim with strength and aggression. Demonstrated an ability to knock down the 12 footer. Reminded me of a young Tre Mitchell if he puts it all together, has the frame to develop.

Toby Ojuwku

Roman Catholic (Philadelphia)

5’9          Guard

Toby put together an excellent week. Demonstrated an ability to score the ball at a high level and was a relentless ball hawk at the other end.

Malachi Palmer ’24

Central Dauphin

6’4          Guard

Silky Smooth with the ball ion his hands. Effective & highly efficient. Makes putting the ball in the basket from all three levels look extremely easy.

Jason Rivera-Torres

Iona Prep, NJ

6’3          Guard

Dominated from the point guard position with sheer size, athleticism and skill. Often the best player on the floor. Jason made shots consistently while always making the proper basketball play. Hugh Upside.
