STOUGHTON, Mass. — For many prospects around New England, this winter is about making one final impression.
While a significant number of the Class of 2025 stars from the region have pledged their college commitments, there are even more uncommitted recruits still chasing a scholarship and college basketball destination. Many of them took their talents with their prep teams to the Dana Barros Basketball Club for the annual Zero Gravity Prep Classic this weekend.
With dozens of college basketball coaches in attendance – ranging from Division 1 to 3 – it was a perfect opportunity for them to make an early-season impression. Over the three-day event, several impressed – including a handful who I had not seen or had not been on my radar just yet. There were others I have seen who continued their strong winters
I already covered a few of those prospects in my story from Newman’s win over New Hampton. And for the purposes of this story, I limited it to 2025 and 2026 prospects; I’ll cover some 2027 standouts later in the week. Here are 15 uncommitted standouts from the Prep Classic.
Alexander Bryant, South Kent
Class of 2025, 6-8 forward
Hometown: New York, N.Y.
From what I’ve seen of Bryant this season, he operates with an endless motor, and never stops hustling or giving up on plays. That was on display in Sunday’s finale of the event, when he had the play of the weekend. Down two to Cushing in the final seconds of regulation, Bryant followed a missed shot with a powerful game-tying tip slam with his right hand, which electrified the gym, to send the game to overtime. Cushing ultimately prevailed, but Bryant’s play showcased some exciting potential.
Dayn Campbell, MacDuffie
Class of 2025, 5-11 guard
Hometown: Brooklyn, N.Y.
Campbell has been lightly recruited to this point but that should be changing after a strong weekend in Stoughton. Over three games against Cushing, Hoosac and Lawrence Academy, he averaged 20.3 points with 3.6 assists and 3.0 steals while shooting 10-for-19 (52 percent) from 3-point range. He may be a bit undersized, but he has a scoring and facilitating ability that should translate to the next level.
Leo Curtis, CATS Academy
Class of 2025, 7-1 center
Hometown: Reykjavik, Iceland
Curtis, who continues to receive high-major Division 1 offers and interest, was impactful again and instrumental in CATS’ big victory over Darrow on Saturday. He finished with 17 points – which included a 3-pointer – and 11 rebounds. He was the difference as CATS pulled away in the second half as he dominated the rim on both ends with easy buckets, blocks and an array of altered shots.
Parrish Edmond, Putnam Science
Class of 2026, 6-5 guard
Hometown: Norwalk, Conn.
Edmond is getting low-major Division 1 interest but has high-major athleticism. He had a ferocious breakaway tomahawk slam in Friday’s win against Bridgton Academy as part of his 13 points and six rebounds, and he was impactful with a team-high 12 points in Putnam’s win over Brimmer & May on Sunday. He’s become a trusted member in the rotation of one of the best teams in the country.
Alex Egbuonu, Lawrence Academy
Class of 2026, 6-6 wing
Hometown: Nashua, N.H.
Egbuonu made our stars of the week for his monster performances in season-opening wins over Winchendon and MacDuffie, but still deserves a shout here as one of the best uncommitted prospects in the region. He’s only a junior, of course, but the offers are going to keep racking up this winter. Marquette, Auburn, Mississippi State and Xavier have already offered Egbuonu, who is arguably the best two-way prospect in New England’s 2026 class.
Sam Fleming, Wilbraham & Monson
Class of 2026, 6-8 forward
Hometown: Springfield, Mass.
Fleming had 16 points, seven boards and a pair of blocks in Wilbraham’s close victory over the Knox School on Saturday, which included a great take I saw in which he had the ball in the open floor and with a defender lurking, adjusted in his attack to the rim with a smooth reverse layup. One of the top 2026 prospects in the region with his combination of size and three-way scoring ability, Fleming already holds offers from UMass and Xavier and has already taken unofficial visits to Michigan State and Boston College.

Yeshua Kesse-Beda, CATS Academy
Class of 2026, 6-7 wing
Hometown: Temecula, Calif.
It’s hard to stand out on CATS’ talent-rich roster but Kesse-Beda popped with 14 points, including four 3-pointers, in Sunday’s win over Brewster Academy’s prep team. Each of his triples were on catch-and-shoot opportunities, but he showed a confident and effortless stroke. A late addition to CATS this fall, Kesse-Beda – who holds an offer from California – seems to be finding his groove now and should continue to earn himself more playing time.
Windston Legentus, Brimmer & May
Class of 2026, 6-0 guard
Hometown: Raynham, Mass.
I’ve had a chance to see Legentus a few times this season, and his shot-making ability is no joke. He poured in 30 points, including seven 3-pointers, in Friday’s victory over Nobles. The performance featured his innate ability to bait defenders and draw fouls on 3-point attempts, and ability to finish through contact. He clinched the win in the final minute with the most absurd shot I saw all weekend, an off-balanced 3-pointer at the shot-clock buzzer as he crashed to the floor.
Ryan Moesch, Cushing
Class of 2026, 6-0 guard
Hometown: Chittenango, N.Y.
While chatting with someone about Moesch this weekend, they referred to one of his performances by saying “Moesch was Moesch-ing," and I thought that was quite appropriate. The electric guard from New York is quickly gaining a reputation in his first season in New England with his unique scoring and playmaking abilities. He scored seven straight points to clinch Friday’s win over MacDuffie, and he added 24, including a pair of 3s, in Sunday’s thrilling overtime win over South Kent. His fearless drives and athletic finishes have become a regular occurrence, including a big three-point play near the end of regulation as he fell to the court that looked familiar to some others this season. He received an offer from Rhode Island following the weekend, and more are certain to follow.
Jakye Rainey, Vermont Academy
Class of 2025, 6-0 guard
Hometown: Buffalo, N.Y.
Rainey made our uncommitted standouts a few weeks ago at the National Prep Showcase, and the dynamic guard continues to impress. He had 23 points in Friday’s win over Rivers, including a flurry of 3-pointers early on that set the tone as Vermont Academy rolled. He’s gaining interest at a low Division 1 level from Patriot League and Ivy League schools.
Ashton Reynolds, Williston Northampton
Class of 2025, 6-3 guard
Hometown: Brooklyn, N.Y.
Williston surprised me in its huge win over Bridgton Academy on Saturday, and Reynolds, who I had not seen before, had a lot to do with it. The athletic guard had 14 points, six rebounds and three assists in the victory as he impacted the game on both ends. I was stunned to learn postgame that while he’s receiving some Division 1 interest – including schools like Fairfield, UTEP and Delaware State – he has zero committable offers as of now. He’s the definition of under the radar, and with an elite motor and athleticism, he should be starting to catch some attention this winter.
Trey Rezendes, Tabor
Class of 2025, 5-10 guard
Hometown: East Providence, R.I.
Standing at 5-foot-10 and also a member of Tabor’s football team, Rezendes exemplifies the toughness that Tabor has made its culture. He’s also a super skilled guard, too, who has improved since I first saw him this summer. He’s aggressive but controlled in his tough drives to the basket, finishes well through contact and digs in defensively. There’s a lot to like about Rezendes despite his size.
Shuto Sakihama, St. Thomas More
Class of 2025, 5-8 guard
Hometown: Okinawa, Japan
Sakihama recently announced that he has decommitted from Merrimack, and like some of the other guards on this list, he’s one of the most electric available guards in the region. He had 15 points in St. Thomas More’s convincing win over St. Jude’s, and despite being undersized, he makes things happen for one of the best prep teams in the country with his blend of scoring, playmaking and advanced instincts.
Ryan Sullivan, Worcester Academy
Class of 2025, 6-9 forward/center
Hometown: Auburn, Mass.
Sullivan has been one of the biggest stock-risers of the season so far and he might have produced his best performance yet in Worcester Academy’s victory over the Phelps School. He had 14 points, including an impressive tip slam, and more than held his own Phelps star and Penn State commit Justin Houser. Sullivan has a great feel for the game, and he’s gaining confidence after working his way back from some serious injuries earlier in his career. He’s firmly put himself on the mid-major radar.
Christian “Mouse” Williams, Kimball Union
Class of 2025, 6-0 guard
Hometown: St. Louis, Mo.
While Kimball Union’s Zay Henderson, a Siena commit, is the headliner, there are several uncommitted players on head coach Cory McClure’s squad looking to stand out this winter. One of them is Williams, who had 13 points – including a pair of 3-pointers – in KUA’s win over Cheshire. But his impact was really felt on the defensive end, where he was incredibly active and forced several steals and turnovers. He had one that led to a transition bucket to end the first half, then poked a ball out of an opponent’s hands into the backcourt, where he hustled, dove on it and ultimately forced a shot clock violation. He holds double-digit Division 1 offers.
