Trey Wertz is your definition of an all-around shooting guard. Wertz has excellent ball handling skills and knows how to get to the basket. He is an efficient shooter that also does a good job of finding players able to score the basketball. He is the 16th rated player in North Carolina, 66th rated shooting guard, and 286 rated player by 247.

Trey: I’m not sure yet
LJ: What are your top schools at this time?
Trey: I’m trying to cut my list here pretty soon.
LJ: Penn and Temple had nice recruiting classes last year. Are you familiar with how both teams play basketball? What type of offense do you like to play in?
Trey: Yes. I got a chance to talk to both Coach Dunphey and Coach Donahue about their style of play. I like to play in a offense where there is a lot of freedom giving to the players to make decisions

Trey: 19/6/4 For HS and AAU I’m not really sure
LJ: What do you like about Penn and Temple?

LJ: Any teams that haven’t given you an offer yet showing interest?
Trey: Butler and Vanderbilt

LJ: Are you planning on releasing your top schools soon?
Trey: Yes
LJ: When do you plan to commit:
