Delaware 2025 Summer Stock-Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Between the June Live Period and the close of the grassroots season in July, the rising seniors from Delaware showed out up and down the east coast. These are just six of them:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2352343' first='Jalen' last='Bernikow'] | 6'1 G 2025 Odessa + WeR1 UAA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bernikow did his most outstanding work this summer when he got to spin for the Ducks at Philly Live. He got his teammates involved and got to his spots off-the-dribble. Relatively young for the class, the talent is all there. Bernikow is one to keep a close eye on going into the fall</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2352345' first='Riley' last='Buzby'] | 6'4 W 2025 Caravel</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Team defense and rebounding were all Buzby had to do in order to contribute to winning basketball. He routinely helped contain the other team's best player with timely deflections and dogs and corralled one board after another. Then, Buzby picked his spots for mid-range and long-range jumpers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2352339' first='RJ' last='Johnson'] | 6'5 F 2025 Salesianum + WeR1 UAA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson's commitment to Rutgers for football didn't stop Wagner from offering him a scholarship to hoop. He was a constant mismatch, beating other bigs off-the-bounce, making live-dribble passes, and hitting threes. His talent and leadership were immeasurable for Sallies in June and We-R1 in July.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2352337' first='Elijah' last='Proctor-Moore'] | 6'6 W 2025 St. Andrew's</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Finally back to full health, Proctor-Moore was able to showcase his electrifying athletic ability on the court. The dynamic wing overwhelmed opponents on defense by jumping passing lanes for steals and erasing shots for blocks. And when he got to handle in the open floor, either off of a turnover or a rebound, he was able to maneuver around defenders and punch it on the other end.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2364715' first='Cyril' last='Stewart'] | 5'7 G 2025 Mount Pleasant</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pound-for-pound the toughest competitor in any given game, Stewart brought an edge to the Green Knights. The undersized floor general gave offenses the blues as he stripped the ball and turned steals into two points. He also created half court offense, getting both feet in the paint and laying the ball up through contact or dropping it off to the open man.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2352336' first='Jayden' last='Taylor'] | 6'8 F 2025 Sanford + [program_tooltip program_id='2450598' first='WeR1' last=''] UAA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even when the Warriors were outgunned during the June Live Period, Taylor's applied athleticism shined through. He added a dash of three-point shooting as he was heavy-handed on the rebounds, putback dunks, and blocks. Coupled with how he finished out the UAA circuit, his recruitment got an even bigger boost with St. Bonaventure and FIU offering.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
