Vanderhorst is quite an underrated name to get to know in NC’s 2023 class with Trinity Academy Raleigh to get eyes on. He’s a surefire D1 prospect, especially for Ivy League schools looking to improve their backcourt and athleticism on the roster. He doesn’t force shots and knows when to push the pace and when to ease back and get his guys into their sets. Another strong decisionmaker in the 2023 class.

Vanderhorst was stellar at the lead guard spot for TAR as he finished with 21 points and five assists to show off his ability to lead the offense. He did a lot more distributing in the first half but in the second was a lot more aggressive at scoring the ball and knocking down shots on the perimeter. He posted 19 of his 21 points in the second half to boost the offense when it was needed.

Vanderhorst had a solid all-around game, finishing with 27 points, four rebounds and four assists to lead the TAR backcourt. He showed he could knock down shots on the perimeter and get to his spots off the bounce without issue. He’ll need to show more aggression on the defensive end in terms of getting stops and converting turnovers into points on offense.

Vanderhorst was impressive at the lead guard spot for Trinity Academy Raleigh in their victory over Washington High. He finished with 22 points, five rebounds and three assists to show off his ability in the backcourt. He’s an unsigned senior guard that DI and DII schools should get eyes on given his athleticism and ability to create off the bounce.
