Aaron Bradshaw’s Transfer Impact on the NJSIAA

<p>The NJSIAA may not have a state tournament this season, but there are still transfers that have an impact on the state. One of those transfers happened yesterday as <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="992524" first="Aaron" last="Bradshaw"] </strong>moved from Roselle Catholic to Camden. The 7’0 sophomore is a talented stretch-four who can handle the ball on the perimeter and swat shots around the basket. Bradshaw should immediately start for the Panthers alongside South Carolina commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850504" first="Ta’Quan" last="Woodley"]</strong>.</p> <p>He will not have to deal with much of a learning curve as he is an AAU teammate with many of the players with the NJ Scholars. One of those teammates is Second Team All-State selection <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850751" first="Dajuan" last="Wagner Jr"].</strong>, who is ready to lead the Camden offense again this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850757" first="Cian" last="Medley"] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="902751" first="Cornelius" last="Robinson"]</strong> may be overlooked, but they are talented players who la hard at both ends of the floor. Bradshaw’s ability to stretch the floor will open up driving lanes for <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850508" first="Jerome" last="Brewer"] </strong>on the perimeter.</p> <p>Roselle Catholic was already losing a big post presence in Gatorade Player of the Year <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850316" first="Cliff" last="Omoruyi"]</strong>, so the Lions need another player to fill in down low. Paramus Catholic transfer <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900335" first="Derrick" last="Bueno"] </strong>had a strong summer with the NJ Beasts 17U team and should get a chance to play right away. The 6’5 forward is a bull in the paint as he uses his strength to muscle shots through traffic and is tough to box out. Hasbrouck Heights transfer <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900310" first="Kunga" last="Tsering"] </strong>may be more of a wing, but he will also get some minutes down low. The 6’7 forward can finish above the rim, knock down jumpers from distance and a tough rebounder.</p> <p>The Lions’ strength is in the backcourt as they have one of the best guard duos in New Jersey with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="787669" first="Corey" last="Floyd Jr"]. </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850752" first="Simeon" last="Wilcher"]</strong>. Both players are capable of playing on the ball and have come up big in key situations for head coach Dave Boff over the last two seasons. Union County transfers <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1025905" first="Jamarques" last="Lawrence"] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1013069" first="Malachi" last="Johnson"]</strong> are both talented scoring guards who should make an impact on the team right away. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1013071" first="Christian" last="Pierre-Louis"]</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="902756" first="Jadin" last="Collins"] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="902745" first="Maurice" last="McKnight"]</strong> are all tough, skilled guards who have the potential to be breakout candidates in Union County.</p> <p>Bradshaw’s absence creates an opportunity for sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1013074" first="Chris" last="Santner"] </strong>and freshman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1050409" first="Richard" last="Brisco"]</strong>. The former has a nice touch around the basket and knows how to set good screens in the halfcourt. Brisco already holds an offer from TCU and has an extremely high ceiling after making the Cream of the Crop Top 30 game. Both forwards have the potential to make an impact at the next level and they will both get significant minutes this season for Roselle Catholic.</p> <p>Bradshaw’s move cements Camden as the top team in the Garden State after the Panthers won their last 25 games and the South Jersey Group 2 title. Roselle Catholic will still be a top team in New Jersey as the Lions have won the last three Non-Public B North titles. Bradshaw was going to make an impact for a state power this season even before he transferred, but he just made the switch from North Jersey to South Jersey.</p>
