Due to the growth of the Team Rampage program, many new faces from different cities, will shape up this year's 17 and under team. With Jesse Bethel Seniors Malcolm Bracy and DeAngelo Gomez being the only two returners, the 2016 Rampage team will be different than last year's team. This year's roster will feature, four seniors, four sophomores and, five juniors. Team Rampage Head Coach and Trainer Brandon Bracy, decided to step outside of Vallejo to recruit players, and make up his team this spring and summer.

Junior Trey Pugh and, Sophomore Kade Lockrem, both come from Benicia High School. Trey is a good scorer who can shoot the ball from the outside really well, while Kade provides solid point guard skills, and can also shoot the three. Coming from across the Martinez bridge, comes a 6'2 Junior shooting guard named Thomas McDonald. McDonald, who moved to California last fall from Texas to stay with his family, provides additional shooting and scoring from the perimeter for Team Rampage.

From American Canyon High School, comes Junior Forward Gamon Howard, and sophomores Joee Gantan and, Malik Ghiden. Howard will bring a lot of athleticism from the wing, and will also be a great defender. Ghiden will also be a great athlete for rampage, as he will also play some Shooting Guard for the team. Gantan will help on the boards, and will also score from the low block. Junior Forward Will Klotz, comes from College Park High School in Concord. Standing at 6'5, Klotz's height and long frame, will definitely help Team Rampage this spring and summer.

Coach Bracy would also pick up  Seniors Nik Keydeniers, from Riverbank High School in Modesto, CA, and would also pick up Jonathon Rice from St. Mary's High School in Berkeley. These two pickups would give Team Rampage's 17 and under an edge due to the strength that these two players have.

Jesse Bethel's Malcolm Bracy, DeAngelo Gomez, and Nigel Robinson, all will be playing Team Rampage. With Bracy and Gomez being seniors and, the only returnees, Coach Bracy will look for them to provide leadership for the team. Junior Wing Nigel Robinson, is very athletic and plays good defense, but is battling a hip injury that could keep him out for 2-3 more weeks. Lastly comes Vallejo High Sophomore Forward Carl Barnes, who will be looking to gain a lot of experience playing up with the 17 and under team. These players round up the 2016 Team Rampage roster.
