Two Rising Sophomores Shine At The Hoop Group Future All-American Camp


Taj Price is still growing into his body, but that does not stop the 6’5 power forward from producing. A class of 2015 prospect out of Newark Eastside (NJ), Price has a very good frame and nice length. He does a superb job of scoring the basketball down low and showed off the ability to toss in a hook shot.

Kevin Driscoll‏@_KevinDriscoll:  6'5" JR Ismael Sanogo of Newark Eastside has ceiling to be MM. skill development and work ethic will be deciding factor. I think he has both

Ismael Sanogo | Newark Eastside (NJ) | 6-5 F | 2014
Sanogo is a long, athletic wing prospect with a high upside and a nice stepback jumper that he consistently uses as a weapon. Sanogo is a force in transition, and makes it a point to run the floor after every missed shot. While he has a solid all-around game, Sanogo could be more focused and active on the defensive end.

Abdul Lewis (NJ) Class of 2014 | 6’7 F | Newark Eastside
Lewis is a very good pick and pop 4 who has a chance to be a very good player. He can identify what the defense is allowing him to do and take advantage of it. Runs the floor very well.
