Excellent lists. In my opinion, Jackson Shaw, over in Greenwich, leads these lists in skill and experience. Very crafty and packs a punch. He was a part of the World Champs Cadet team that went to Malta. He can attack hips and drive with ease. Grayson Taylor is massive, and if he grows like his brother, Jett, he will be able to make an impact at top NCAA teams.

William (Yummy) Mills is a top goalie on this list. Very talented and understands the pool. Very vocal on and off the pool deck. He plays for CCU and has been a part of the National Team Pipeline for some time. Yummy’s brother is quite the performer for both USC and the Junior National Team.

Arda Demiryurek is a talented attacker for Trojan. He can lock goalies and make an extra pass because of his view of the pool and his faking with a “hitch.”

Sungwon **(**Aden) Shin plays for Del Mar. He is extremely talented from the outside and knows everything that is happening in the pool. Aden plays up with older national team groups and was the captain of the 2025 17u Men’s Pan Am with the USA Cadet National Team.

Sean Anderson is quite the player. It seems to me like he can do a lot. He helped the 16s and 18s at Newport. Sean lights it up from anywhere in the pool. He has definitely learned some post-up skills from his older brother, Tyler Anderson.

Mentioned on the second list is Fran Pintaric. He is a very talented class of 2029 player at Loyola High School. Great attacker and overall high-IQ player. He heavily contributed to the Trojan 16u team despite being a 14u. His dad knows a few things about water polo, but his work ethic has taken him far, too.

The Class of 2028 is a very talented class with lots of National Team experience. It will be interesting to see the impact of roster limits trickle down on this class for those who want to play at the collegiate level.

My son’s team played against Greenwich 16’s in JO’s and I was very impressed by Jackson Shaw. He’s definitely one to watch out on the East Coast and could be the next from Greenwich to head out west for collegiate water polo.
