A power wing that impacts the game on both ends of the floor, Johnson was a two-time MIAA state champion at <em>Malden Catholic</em>. He shines defensively with his versatility, ability to rebound, and disruptive on-ball presence. He's a physical defender that's capable of guarding one through four at the next level. Offensively, he can really get out and run in transition, is a strong finisher at the rim, and is hard to guard off the bounce. He should be able to make a quick impact for <em><strong>Lasell</strong></em> and profiles as a future all-defense type prospect in the <em>GNAC</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1489329"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a9138f36df7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Seney finalized his future plans with a commitment to <strong><em>Southern New Hampshire University</em></strong>. A big, lefty combo guard that can really shoot it, Seney played a big role in <em>Bradford Christian's</em> success the last few years. His best skill, right now, might be his ability to stretch the floor and consistently knock down shots from the perimeter. He's grown as a playmaker and his comfortable making decisions with the ball in his hands. Defensively, he was arguable one of the top perimeter defenders in the <em>NEPSAC</em> this winter. He has terrific lateral mobility, long arms, and quick hands and feet; all of which should allow him to be a terrific defender at the next level. A late commitment for <strong><em>SNHU</em></strong>, he has a chance to quickly become a big piece of the rotation for one of the top programs in the <em>Northeast-10</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"John Cardoso","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Roxbury Prep","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a9138f36edf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cardoso announced that he will head to New Hampshire and attend <strong><em>Franklin Pierce University</em></strong>. An under-the-radar prospect for much of the winter, Cardoso put up big scoring numbers at <em>Roxbury Prep</em>. A bit of a tweener guard, he's at his best off the ball when he can run off screens and find himself in catch and shoot situations. He had multiple games this winter with 4+ made threes and profiles as a quality floor spacer at the next level. Defensively, he does a good job of competing with bigger guards and using his low center of gravity to be disruptive on the ball. The <em>Northeast-10</em> is as competitive and physical of a Division II league as there is, but Cardoso should have plenty of opportunities on a revamped <em><strong>Franklin</strong></em><strong><em> Pierce</em></strong> squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Henry Stewart","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Cheshire Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a9138f36fc4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stewart, a New York native, will remain in New England after commiting to the <strong><em>University of New England</em></strong>. A lefty wing that can really shoot the basketball, Stewart thrived in his role at <em>Cheshire</em> this past winter. He's a big wing that has the ability to put the ball on the floor and finish through contact at the rim, but is best known as a spot-up shooter. He's lethal in the corners and is someone that always has to be accounted for when he's on the court. He has good positional size and a college ready frame, which should allow him to guard up and down a position at the next level. He's a quality commit for <strong><em>UNE</em></strong> and could quickly turn into one of the better perimeter shooters in the <em>CCC</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
