Nick Valentino Nick Valentino 6'0" | PG Red Bank Regional | 2023 State NJ , 6’0 PG Red Bank Regional 2023
Valentino had a strong showing at the practice, showing his ability to put the ball in the basket. The 6’0 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and knocked down several jumpers during the scrimmage sessions. Valentino did more than just shoot as he was also able to get into the paint and finish around the basket. He pushed the tempo when he had the ball in his hands and moved well off the ball. Valentino is a scoring guard prospect who should have a spring season for the Jersey Shore Predators.
Nick Seeloch Nick Seeloch 5'10" | PG Holmdel | 2024 State NJ , 5’10 PG Holmdel 2024
Seeloch made plays throughout the practice and it should carry over into the spring season. The 5’10 guard has a nice handle and was not fazed by on-ball pressure during the scrimmages. Seeloch made good decisions with the ball in his hands and has a nice shooting stroke. He was able to push the pace in transition and finished nicely around the rim. Seeloch is a true point guard prospect who will be making plays for the Jersey Shore Predators throughout the spring and summer.
James Curley James Curley 6'0" | SG Monmouth | 2025 State NJ , SG Monmouth Regional 2025
Curley had a standout performance at the practice as he showed his ability to impact the game on offense. The freshman guard is a knockdown shooter as he has a quick release and shoots the ball with confidence from distance. Curley moved exceptionally well off the ball, freeing himself up for open jumpers on the perimeter. He fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor and slid his feet on the defensive end. Curley’s ability to knock down shots from distance is something that will help his stock in a big way throughout the spring season.
Ryan Leskauskas Ryan Leskauskas 6'4" | SF Chatham | 2023 State NJ , 6’4 SF Chatham 2023
Lesauskas had a good showing at the practice and should have a big impact for the Jersey Shore Predators during the spring. The 6’4 forward has a strong frame, which he used to put himself in position to get rebounds at both ends of the floor. Lesauskas also showed his ability to play on the perimeter as he put the ball on the floor and knocked down jumpers from distance. He moved well without the ball and made very little bad decisions with the ball in his hands. Lesauskas is a skilled forward whose ability to play inside and out will help him throughout the spring and summer.
Daniel Yarus Daniel Yarus 6'6" | SF Spotswood | 2024 State NJ , 6’6 SF Spotswood 2024
Yarus had a solid showing at the practice and is an intriguing 2024 prospect to track for the Jersey Shore Predators. The 6’6 forward finished strong around the basket, including a couple of nice dunks throughout the practice. Yarus showed off his range as he knocked down jumpers from behind the arc and has a nice release on his jumper. He used his length to alter shots on the defensive end and fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Yarus is a lanky forward prospect whose skillset will help the Jersey Shore Predators in a big way during the spring and summer.
