The two wins in Chicago put The Crew's record at 33-5, but their season isn’t over just yet.

Sitting at No. 6 in the latest FAB 50 National Team Rankings powered by www.ebooksnet.com, the Prolific Prep Crew is Indianapolis bound for the Chipotle High School Nationals (April 4-6), where they’ll be matched up against FAB 50 No. 11 Link Academy (Branson, Mo.) in the opening round. While many are already looking forward to that, let’s focus on the outstanding performances that many of the Prolific players and others had to wrap up the Grind Session season.

Here are the top performers from the Grind Session World Championship Final Four:

A.J. Dybantsa, 6’8, SF/PF, Prolific Prep (CA), 2025
The top junior in the nation showed that he is just beginning to scratch the surface with his immense bag of talents, pacing Prolific Prep to the Grind Session World Championship with 24 points and eight boards in the title game. While his outside shot wasn’t falling at his typical rate, Dybantsa impacted the game in different ways, utilizing his size on both ends of the court. The USA Basketball gold medalist exploited mismatches by posting smaller defenders, was a beast on the offensive glass, and showed immense potential on the defensive end. A.J. will be running with Vegas Elite for his final season on the AAU circuit and will undoubtedly have all eyes on him for the remainder of his high school career.

Tyran Stokes, 6’7, SF/PF, Prolific Prep (CA), 2026
Considered by many to be the top player in the class of 2026, Tyran Stokes proved that he could be a remarkably effective player with limited touches at the Grind Session World Championship. The Louisville product was great on the offensive glass keeping plays alive, scoring within the flow of the offense, and facilitating for others. The 18 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and three blocks that Stokes finished with in the championship game don't even begin to show the overall impact that he had on the game.

Ikenna Alozie, 6’2, PG, Dream City Christian, (AZ), 2026
While Dream City Christian came up short to Prolific in the title game, it certainly has nothing to do with the play of Ikenna Alozie. The sophomore dropped 29 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and four steals, leaving everyone on notice that he is one of the better guards in the class of 2026. Ike used his strong frame and length to play unreal on ball defense, was a freakish shot blocker as a guard, and was elite finishing at the rim through contact. As Alozie’s 3-point shot continues to gain consistency, we will see him push his way up to five star status.

Emmanuel Stephen, 7’0, C, Dream City Christian (AZ), 2024
An absolutely massive individual, Emmanuel Stephen was the physical enforcer on both ends of the court for Dream City Christian. He used his ridiculous frame to carve out position deep in the paint, was great using his size to wall up as a rim protector, and dunked virtually everything that he got in the three second area. Heading to Arizona next year, “E-Man” is everything you look for out of a big as a rim protector and lob threat.

Sean Blake, 6’2, PG, Royal Crown Institute (CAN), 2024
A player I hadn't seen before, Sean Blake left it all on the floor and showed that he belonged against Grind Session champion Prolific Prep. The Canadian lead guard got into the paint at will, was excellent converting with creativity at the rack with both hands, and was the overall catalyst for Royal Crown with his 21- point, 5-assist showing versus Prolific Prep. Heading to Vermont next year, Blake is another key addition to the America East champs who took on Duke in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Winters Grady, 6’6, SF, Prolific Prep (CA), 2025
The best junior prospect in the state of Oregon made local headlines when he was going to initially transfer from Lake Oswego to Tualtin before ultimately ending up at Prolific Prep. The move paid off for Grady, as he walked away with a Grind Session World Championship and firmly established himself as a top-100 player in the process. Winters is a versatile wing with deep 3-point range, provides a presence as a rebounder, and finds a way to make an impact on the game with minimal plays being ran for him. Since Grady emerged at the 2023 Crossroads Elite Invitational, he has quickly become a priority for numerous high major programs throughout the country.

Airious "Ace" Bailey, McEachern (Covington, Ga.) 6-9 PF 2024
Versatile talent who makes his mark on both ends of the floor. Bailey jumps out as a prospect with his combination of size, athleticism and explosiveness. Bailey can face up and score or dominate around the basket with quick, precise moves. Bailey got some consideration for the best long-term prospect in attendance. He's committed to Rutgers, where he's the program's most highly-regarded recruit since Phil Sellers came out of Jefferson (Brooklyn, N.Y.) in 1972.

Jason Crowe Jr., Lynwood (Calif.) 6-3 PG 2026
This young point guard got plenty of attention during the high school season for his scoring exploits (third most single-season points in California history in any class), but he entered this event to feel out his national competition and get the experience of playing in this type of setting. Let's just say he had no problem adjusting his game from where he's a primary scorer (36 ppg.). Crowe found his seams and creases, didn't waste any time on unnecessary dribbles, and hit the up man consistently with snap passes. Crowe is always ready to attack and his shooting keeps defenders off-balance.

Zoom Diallo, Curtis (Tacoma, Wash.) 6-4 PG 2024
His high school season is not officially over, as FAB 50 No. 38 Curtis will participate in the State Champions Invitational beginning April 6. Diallo did nothing to dispel the notion that he's the top point guard in the rising senior class. Diallo is always in control and plays the game one step ahead of his peers. Basketball is about who controls the space on the floor both the offensive and defensive player claim the right to and Diallo gets where he wants on the floor like no guard in the high school game right now, using his positional size and skill to control tempo.

A.J. Dybantsa, St. Sebastian (Needham, Mass.) 6-8 SF 2026
A strong and physical wing who is already well-known on the circuit because of his middle school exploits and highlight reels, Dybantsa is both a good player now and someone down the line who can challenge for the top spot in the national class. He uses his size and strength to get downhill and has enough wiggle to create space and score on secondary moves. He moves well without the ball, too, and has a jumper with sound mechanics. Dybantsa reminds us some of former high school star and future NBA player Tim Thomas when he was a young player at now defunct Paterson Catholic in New Jersey in the mid 1990s.

Caleb Gaskins, Holy Trinity Episcopal (Melbourne, Fla.) 6-7 SF 2026
The 2025 and 2026 is off to a good start, as scouts and NBA scouts are looking forward to evaluating them more as they are not particularly thrilled with what they've seen of the 2023 and 2024 classes, so far. As far as 2026 goes, Gaskins gets our nod as the most impressive overall performer in Houston. He's a terrific all-around talent with explosiveness, strength and a good skill level. Gaskin is hardly ever sped up and has good instincts on both sides of the ball. He is a quality passer, covers ground with the dribble and has a good outside shot. It is hard to find a major weakness in his game right now.

Tre Johnson, Lake Highlands (Richardson, Texas) 6-5 SG 2024
No surprise here, as Johnson is coming off a historic season for FAB 50 No. 8 Lake Highlands and was arguably the top performer in attendance. The other two you can make a strong argument for as the most impactful were Koa Peat and Meleek Thomas. Johnson has improved his crossover and uses it to create space and get good scoring looks in the tightest of spaces. Overall, he was the most skilled scorer in camp.

Brandon McCoy, St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) 6-4 SG 2026
This young combo guard was one of the best defenders and most instinctual players, regardless of class. McCoy got a late start to his freshman season but made the most of it, helping Bosco to the CIF Southern Section open title game with his big play ability. McCoy can alter nearly any shot at the rim or strip ball-handlers clean in the open court. He's also active on offense and a terrific offensive rebounder with a nose for the ball.

Koa Peat, Perry (Gilbert, Ariz.) 6-8 SF 2025
This powerful wing is one of the best players in the country, regardless of class. He's simply too skilled for bigger defenders and too powerful for smaller ones, making him a matchup nightmare. Peat was the best offensive rebounder of the lot and can get things done even when his shot is not on because of his ability to get to the line.

Darryn Peterson, Cuyahoga Valley Christian (Cuyahoga Valley, Ohio) 6-5 SG 2025
A strong guard with good size and physical gifts, Peterson can find seams to score as well as anyone in attendance. He has a nice release on his jump shot and a relaxed disposition to his game. He also can move without the ball and reminds us a bit of Kentucky's Chris Livingston, only with more wiggle and fluidity.

Meleek Thomas, Lincoln Park (Midland, Pa.) 6-4 SG 2025
Coming off a state championship season for Lincoln Park, Thomas impressed onlookers with his approach, intensity and explosive fundamentals. There is little wasted motion in Thomas' game, and he gets downhill quickly and efficiently. He's a three level scorer and works hard on the defensive end to get over screens and get to the correct spots on the floor. With his dynamic personality, combined with his trademark Western PA-like toughness and skill level, the sky is the limit for this talented rising junior.
