Players To Watch

The Grind Session rolls into Milton, Georgia this week (Nov 21–23, 2025), bringing with it a stacked lineup of elite prospects who continue to shape the national prep basketball landscape. From nationally-ranked scorers to emerging two-way specialists, this year’s field at Saint Francis High School is loaded with high-major talent—much of it already featured across ESPN, On3, 247Sports, and international scouting platforms.

Nine standout athletes headline this week’s action, each carrying legitimate star power and next-level upside. Whether it’s dominant interior play, elite shot-making, or disruptive defensive versatility, these prospects have consistently proven themselves against top competition—and several are already cemented in national rankings.

Leading the watchlist is Marcis Ponder of Gillion Academy, one of the most physically imposing centers in the country and currently a Top player in the ESPN 100 for the class of 2026. His teammate Willie Burnett III, a dynamic Mississippi State commit, is another ESPN-ranked guard known for explosive scoring performances and clutch playmaking.

International powerhouse Ft. Erie International brings two elite prospects of their own: Deng Ngor, a long, explosive wing with rapidly rising recruiting stock, and Promis N’Landu, one of Canada’s most intriguing young players with a growing list of high-major interest.

Royal Crown School’s Andy Geamo continues to establish himself as one of Canada’s premier guards, while Ryan Hampton of DME Sports Academy enters the weekend fresh off multiple breakout scoring performances during the Florida swing of the season.
