What Prospects Made Impressions on Saturday at Ridgewood?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The atmosphere inside the gymnasium at Ridgewood High School was electric on Saturday evening as some of the state's premier programs went toe-to-toe. With college coaches and scouts lining the sidelines, several prospects raised their stock with big-time performances.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From elite underclassmen flashing high-major ceilings to upperclassmen anchoring championship-caliber rosters, here are the standouts who caught our eye during Saturday's evening slate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2369872' first='Cody' last='Rader'] | 6'2" G | Geneva | 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rader played with the poise of a seasoned upperclassman on Saturday night, completely unfazed by an aggressive, high-pressure St. Laurence defense. The incoming sophomore showed off a highly polished offensive package, knocking down a pair of smooth triples and orchestrating the offense with elite vision. His highlight of the night was an insane, acrobatic finish through contact in the lane. As his frame continues to fill out, Rader has all the makings of a special guard prospect in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3472215' first='Zahari' last='Threatt'] | 6'6" F | De La Salle | 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Threatt was an absolute force of nature, making a massive, multi-faceted impact on the game. At 6-foot-6, his combinations of versatility and raw athleticism are downright scary for an incoming sophomore. He was high-pointing rebounds above the rim, altering shots as a weak-side rim protector, and instantly igniting the fast break with pinpoint outlet passes. Add in a couple of thunderous, crowd-pleasing dunks, and it's clear Threatt possesses an incredibly high ceiling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2886496' first='TJ' last='Jamison'] | 6'4" G | Whitney Young | 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jamison tapped into a zone from the perimeter that blew the game open against St. Laurence. With his team facing a deficit, the 6-foot-4 guard caught fire, burying three triples in a blistering two-minute span. Operating heavily off the ball on Saturday, Jamison thrived by letting the game come to him rather than forcing the issue as a primary playmaker. His ability to hit shots at his size makes him a dangerous, chess-piece weapon for the Dolphins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389107' first='Haze' last='Massey'] | 6'1" G | Warren | 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Known primarily across the state as a high-flying highlight reel, Massey showcased a much more refined, dangerous element to his game on Saturday. The 6-foot-1 lead guard locked in from deep, hitting multiple tough perimeter shots to prove his off-season gym hours are paying off. While he didn't get many opportunities to put defenders on a poster, his steady decision-making nearly willed Warren to an upset over the defending state champions. The keys to the Blue Devils' offense belong to him now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2425702' first='Magnus' last='Johnson'] | 6'8" C | DePaul Prep | 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson put on a clinic on how to control the interior for the Rams. A fundamentally sound, no-nonsense post player, Johnson gets straight to work the second he gets deep paint touches. In a physical battle against Joliet West, he crashed both the offensive and defensive glass with relentless energy. He created a living on second-chance putbacks, showcasing great discipline by keeping the ball high above his head out of reach of smaller guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Logan Redditt | 5'10" G | Plainfield East | 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Redditt put together a handful of explosive sequences that loudly proclaimed he is the future of the Bengals' backcourt. The ultra-quick 5-foot-10 guard was a disruptive menace on the defensive end, racking up multiple steals and effortlessly out-racing everyone down the floor for easy transition buckets. In the half-court, he used a lightning-fast first step to blow past perimeter defenders before showcasing a soft, reliable floater over length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='2125658' first='Kendall' last='Meyers'] | 6'5" G/F | Marist | 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meyers looks the part of a highly versatile, modern scholarship wing. At 6-foot-5, his movements are incredibly fluid, especially when he attacks downhill. He repeatedly utilized a slick spin move in the paint to create just enough separation to finish cleanly around the rim. When defenses sagged, he comfortably stepped out and knocked down perimeter jumpers routinely. Meyers also brought excellent aggression to the glass, high-pointing rebounds in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>AJ Enyia | 6'7" F/C | St. Laurence | 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Enyia was the ultimate energy giver for the Vikings on Saturday. The 6-foot-7 big man sprinted the floor with a relentless motor, routinely being rewarded as the trail man or finisher on the end of fast breaks—converting multiple tough looks into "and-1" opportunities. Defensively, he anchored the backline with a strong, physical base, refusing to give up deep positioning and expertly detouring opposing drivers away from the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>&nbsp;Key Contributors</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While they didn't claim the main headlines, these prospects made crucial winning plays and are names to keep firmly on your radar moving into July:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='2385372' first='Noah' last='Corro'] (2028 | St. Laurence) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Provided steady backcourt play , made timely shot-making for the Vikings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='2431475' first='David' last='Udoiwod'] (2027 | Geneva) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brought great length and defensive energy to the floor, making life difficult on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>&nbsp;Tyce Bullock (2027 | Marist) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Flashes some playmaking ability made shots when needed, provided good defensive pressure.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125591' first='Caden' last='Crudup'] (2027 | Whitney Young)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp;A tough, high-IQ forward who kept the ball moving and played lock-down on-ball defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2816850' first='Davuan' last='Bates'] (2028 | De La Salle)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Showed great burst in transition and shot it well from three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2842573' first='Blake' last='Choice'] (2028 | DePaul Prep)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Made shots for the Rams has been handling his new role well as a scorer.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
