New England Commitment Catch-Up (02/02)

It's been just over a month since we last checked in with a Commitment Catch-Up and in that time, a handful of new prospects have come off the board.   Below are ten prospects from the Class of 2025 that have recently announced their plans for the future!   [player_tooltip player_id='2325875' first='Carson' last='McDonald']   The Newman School forward came off the board with a commitment to American University. A 6'9" forward that impacts a game in a variety of ways, McDonald combines good size for the position with a willingness to do things that go unnoticed in a box score. While he's a capable post scorer that can make the occasional perimeter jumper, he does a great job of setting screens, makes an immediate impact on the glass, and is a willing ball mover that keeps an offense flowing.   Cade Furse   The Phillips Exeter guard finalized his recruitment with a commitment to Union College. A big 6'3" guard, Furse is a multi-level scorer that is at his best in attack mode with the ball in his hands. He's a consistent shooter from behind the arc that has really developed his off the bounce game and now shows the ability to score in the mid-range off one bounce or two get all the way to the rim and finish with either hand through contact.   [player_tooltip player_id='1532464' first='Ryan' last='Ward']   The Cushing Academy guard announced his college plans with a pledge to the University of Chicago. A big time shooter from the perimeter, Ward is an athletic guard that has taken his game to another level in recent months. He finishes plays above the rim as a cutter, can score from beyond the arc in catch and shoot situations or off the bounce, and is a versatile, multi-positional defender with a high basketball IQ.   [player_tooltip player_id='1529126' first='Jamari' last='Robinson']   The Belmont Hill guard put an end to his recruitment when he announced that he'll attend Bates College. A long and athletic combo guard, Robinson, who just surpassed the 1,000 point mark for his high school career, is a blur in transition that can put a ton of pressure on the rim off the bounce. He has elite physical traits and uses them to be a lockdown defender that can guard multiple positions on the perimeter while creating plenty of turnovers.   [player_tooltip player_id='2811759' first='Tristan' last='Robbins']   The Caribou forward announced his future plans for a commitment to the University of Maine at Farmington. A physical 6'5" forward, Robbins is a strong rebounder, both on the offensive and defensive glass, that does a nice job of finishing with either hand around the rim. He's capable of operating as an offensive hub out of the high post, where he's proven capable of consistently knocking down jumpers from just inside the three point line.   [player_tooltip player_id='1532627' first='Joshua' last='Caruso']   The Nashua South guard made his college plans official with a commitment to Saint Anselm College. The top scorer in all of New Hampshire, Caruso has turned himself into one of the most complete guards around, capable of scoring at multiple levels, handling against pressure, and making good decisions while running an offense. He's a breakdown threat off the bounce in isolation situations and does a nice job of getting to the rim where he's a crafty finisher.   Bryce Guitard   The Noble guard came off the board when he pledged his commitment to the University of Maine at Farmington. A high level movement shooter, Guitard is capable of getting hot in a hurry from behind the arc and does a nice job of creating space with his bounce to get into his jumper. He's a threat to score in transition, does his work early to get shot ready, and can make plays off the bounce when the defense closes out hard.   [player_tooltip player_id='2547055' first='Donovan' last='Lee']   The Newman School guard ended his recruitment with a commitment to Middlebury College. A crafty scoring guard, Lee does a nice job of making plays off the bounce, finishing in a variety of ways around the rim. He's capable of opperating as a secondary playmaker and does a nice job of finding his teammates in positions to score. On top of that, he's a solid perimeter defender that does a nice job of moving his feet to stay in front of opposing ball-handlers.   Nate Clay   The Kimball Union guard recently announced that he will attend St. Lawrence University. A tough, 6'3" guard, Clay is an instinctive help defender that knows when to make a play on the ball and creates plenty of steals and deflections. Offensively, he's a gifted shot maker from behind the arc that does a nice job of moving without the basketball to get open and is consistently shot ready on the catch. He has deep range on his jumper and a quick release.   [player_tooltip player_id='2325866' first='Ryan' last='Sullivan']   The Worcester Academy forward finalized his plans for the next level with a recent commitment to Harvard University. An athletic and bouncy 6'10" forward, Sullivan makes plays all over the rim on the offensive end of the floor. He has a nose for the ball as an offensive rebounder, can finish with touch turning over either shoulder on either block, and has a nice feel for the game as a passer. Defensively, he's a big time shot blocker that can really protect the rim from the help side.
