MADE Hoops recently covered the addition of Christian Proctor, a 2027 wing from DeMatha, but Long Island Lutheran is far from finished reloading. The national powerhouse continues to stack talent, adding three more major prospects who could make an immediate impact in their rotation.
First up is TJ Crumble, a 2026 guard from Ohio and a proven winner with three championships under his belt. He’s productive, battle-tested, and brings exactly the kind of backcourt help LuHi needs after losing three Division I guards from last season’s team. Crumble’s recruitment is already buzzing with nearly 30 offers, and his arrival sends a clear message — the Crusaders are ready for anyone in the country.
Next is Jamaal McKnight, a 2027 point guard out of DeMatha, who could step right into the role Nigel James played a year ago. McKnight’s job will be to orchestrate the offense and get everyone involved, but with his blend of athleticism, skill, and toughness, he’s capable of much more. His upside under this coaching staff is enormous, and with open gyms just around the corner, don’t be surprised if his offer list triples before the season tips.
Finally, LuHi added Kayden Allen, a 2026 wing fresh off a dominant run with Team Thad. Allen’s stock has exploded this summer, recently narrowing his recruitment to Florida State, UCF, Cal, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, and Cincinnati. He’s a high-motor, tone-setting defender who can bring leadership and energy to every game. The coaching staff is eager to work with him — and sources suggest LuHi isn’t done adding pieces just yet.
