BlueChips Nation Anderson Fall League Team Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This will be the second year for the BlueChips Nation entering a team into the Anderson Court Fall League. Last season was a great one as it saw several players from around WV get a chance to play top competition including Spring Mills, Morgantown and Linsly, all who featured at least one Division I level player. This year BlueChips has five core players committed to all dates with additional players added to supplement the roster during the scheduled weekends. The BlueChips will be coached by former Fairmont St and current WV Reign founder and coach Ronnie Nuzum. Nuzum adds a great level of expectation to these college prospects as he prioritizes defense and teaches those concepts that translate at a college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1412065' first='Trevan' last='Bonner'] has fully recovered from an injury at the end of his junior season that ended at the Charleston Coliseum and returned nearly to his old self. Bonner will also be a newcomer to not only the BlueChips squad but also to Anderson Court Fall League. We think this is a great opportunity for Bonner to run the team as floor general and the scoring machine show college scouts his point guard skills with this super talented lineup to toss the ball to. Bonner is un-offered as of yet but I could see that changing before school season starts. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1309597' first='Xavier' last='Kirk'] is returning to the BlueChips program as he had one appearance last year and was nothing short of sensational. Good luck finding a coach that has seen Kirk play that has any negative opinions of him, because there aren't any. A fierce competitor, relentless defender (one of the best in WV) and a high character individual. Kirk has absolutely dazzled during the spring and summer shooting lights out from 3 as well as showing his arial attack with some jaw dropping dunks on breakaways. Kirk was recently offered by Hood College but we think his ceiling is much higher. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2437056' first='Tyce' last='Day'] is certainly the new kid on the block. One we stumbled onto at The Highlands during Bracket Sportz High School Shootout as he was absolutely unconscious from 3 and showed some athleticism using his strong frame to muscle by defenders and score. Day, a 2026, who plays at nearby Morgantown Christian Academy, will certainly join this talented cast and find his niche quickly, which hopefully is scoring form beyond the arc. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2303399' first='Anden' last='Santamaria'] has made such a big impression on so many in the last 4-5 months on the floor with so many skills for a 6'7" forward we've even heard "he plays like a European" which is actually a huge compliment due to the high skill level. Santamaria, a 2026, was extended an invite to play at Anderson Court which is always a plus to bring what we think a high level D2-low level D1 talent to the gym. While Santamaria doesn't have an offer list (mostly due to being a 2026) he will certainly gain much exposure while at Anderson Court as BlueChips has already received confirmation from multiple schools to be in attendance. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1463045' first='Preston' last='Luzader'] makes his return to Anderson Court with the BlueChips squad for a second season. Preston will also play for his school team primarily but will also be in the gym for all four BlueChips Nation scheduled dates. Luzader, the twice offered 2025 big man from Clay-Battelle has earned his spot as he was an absolute workhorse last year at Anderson Court as well as a great competitor with an exceptional attitude and posed himself as very coachable. Preston is also an excellent student which adds to his value on a recruiting angle. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
