Young Guns: Class of 2029 Attackmen to Know, Pt. 2

While top Division I programs are just beginning to scout the 2028 class, it's never too early to track the next wave of talent. <a href="https://preplacrosse.com/2026/01/young-guns-class-of-2029-attackmen-to-know/">As a follow-up to Friday's piece on 2029 attackmen worth following over the next four years</a> (and counting), let's look at another group of offensive prospects to keep tabs on:    Continuing a steady string of Fairfield County natives to head to Deerfield, the Darien native is a well-known commodity of a young prospect who has lit up youth leagues. A wiry playmaker with soft hands and snappy wrists, Dinneen's highlights are full of pretty backhand finishes and BTBs. He seems to always be at the end of plays based on his off-ball play and assertiveness as a dodger and finisher off the catch, though I'd like to see his feeding game develop. As a dodger, his body control and opportunistic nature stand out. Coming into a program that seldom plays freshmen, minutes may be hard to come by this spring, but I'd expect him to make his presence felt over the next few years as he commits to the weight room.     A smooth operator who thrives both below and above GLE, McBride consistently filled up stat sheets throughout the fall and winter circuit. The lefty is poised as a decision-maker who gets to his spots at will, making a living getting back to the middle of the field for high-quality takes. However, McBride is just as lethal as a feeder from the high wing and has a knack for throwing guys open. Above all, he's incredibly advanced as a shooter for his age, both with his feet set and on the run, utilizing different release points and placement. Watching his tape, I'm impressed with how he sets up his dodges, reading his defender, making one move, and going to the rack. Delbarton has produced a bevy of players like McBride in terms of skill level and IQ at that position, and I'm intrigued to follow the progression of his high school career, given the Green Wave's program-wide track record for developing talent.     I've heard rave reviews about Siris' game, which starts with his eye-popping speed and burst. His first step and acceleration allow him to win matchups off the end line with relative ease, frequently creating well beyond a longstick's length of separation. He shoots the ball exceptionally well with his feet moving at full speed, generating a ton of zip while being intentional with placement. Comfortable creating offense from all areas of the offensive zone, he's adept at changing speeds and often mixes in a well-timed hesi. Simply put, defenders are toast when they take poor approaches, as Siris consistently exploits them. To me, there are clear similarities to the Balsamo brothers—a logical comparison given that all are Manhasset natives who matriculated to Chaminade.     Responsible for netting the game-winner in the title game at one of the summer's top tournaments, Still has apparently been lights out for ADVNC and West Coast Starz over the past six months. He's already got above-average size for his grade, and he'll only grow and continue to pack on muscle. In addition, he's armed with excellent hands, stick skills, and a full bag of tricks when the ball's in his possession. Still is dangerous when he puts his foot in the ground and can make his man miss when dodging from behind the cage, but he's also feared as a shooter from the wing. Watching his film, it's apparent that he's been well-coached — having four years with Chris Rotelli, a former Tewaaraton winner, certainly won't hurt his case.     Listed at 6'3” and 195 pounds, Warden is a bona fide matchup problem. If he were the first player you saw while scanning a field complex for that age group, you'd assume you were watching a 2027 group based on his hulking stature. Beyond passing the eye test, Warden's skill level allows him to take over games. He shoots the heck out of the ball from range, finishes inside with both fundamentals and flair, and is highly deceptive as a scorer, often releasing shots when defenders least expect it. While he's incredibly difficult to move off his line, he also demands respect as an outside shooter, generating serious torque and featuring a downright nasty release. The Brunswick class ahead of him is absolutely loaded with offensive talent, but Warden is certainly a candidate to get significant minutes as a freshman, though that PT is more likely to come out of the box, if I had to guess.
