Emeneke is our top ranked post prospect in the 2025 class. He’s a transfer from Priory and will set up in the post area at Archbishop Riordan where things will be a bit tougher in the always competitive WCAL He’s long, runs the court, has an improving post game offensively. He has presence as a rim protecter, he’ll rebound and defend.
He continues to rise as a legitimate prospect from the Sacramento area. At 6’3 and maturing, he has the body, size and make of a scoring guard, he can score at what they call 3 levels. He’s also shown he can be a facilitator in the half-court, lead the transition break with good passing and decision making. He rebounds from the guard position.
Schroeder boosted his stock over the spring and summer. He’s a well rounded prospect who’ll contribute in multiple ways. At 6’5 he handles, passes, and works well along the perimeter and in transition, he’s a bit of a slasher with good hands. He has range to hit 3’s, size to defend, and will hit the boards. He can score inside.
Loud a transfer from Bishop O’Dowd to Moreau Catholic will add scoring, another solid defender, and help on the boards. He’s a tough minded scoring guard with balance and strong takes to the rim from different angles, handling contact. He has good lift on the pull-up jumper. He’s a hard playing guard that’ll contribute right away.
The long bouncy Hayeems has an improving skill set. He has good energy going after rebounds, using his length to finish inside. He does a good job of running the court and will finish with dunks. He’s a wing type prospect who can operate on the perimeter, shoot 3’s, and use his handle for drives into the paint. He’ll go after blocks.
Still new to basketball, he’s made progress. He’s muscular, has good hops, and is active in the paint, going hard for rebounds, and blocks. He takes it up strong inside, has a paint jumper with a bit of a fade. At 6’5 he’s a bit undersized for the post defense, his strength, hops, and energy makes it a bit tougher to score on him.
Lilly improved his game this spring and summer, standing around 6’4 and a solid body. He’s improved his productivity in and around the paint area. He’s attacking and finishing around the rim with a dribble or two. He’s playing on balance, showing some touch off the glass finishing. He’s getting more rebounds. He has the body to handle physical play inside. He can hit set 3’s.
