Continue ReadingBergen Catholic battled one of the most brutal schedules in the state, finishing 23-9 and making it to the Tournament of Champions Semifinal under the leadership of Will Richardson Will Richardson 6'2" | PG Bergen Catholic | 2022 State #76 Nation NJ . The question among NJ basketball fans, media, coaches and players was this… “What if they had their best player?”
That’s right. Bergen Catholic won the county tournament, won Par A and made the TOC Semis without their best player. Elliot Cadeau Elliot Cadeau 6'2" | PG Bergen Catholic | 2024 MO . Cadeau didn’t play a game this year after a high ankle sprain in pre-season. He’s back on the AAU scene now and showing his dominance.
Bergen Catholic will undoubtedly be one of our top teams in the pre-season poll this winter. They’re loaded. We’ve even omitted players who will see time and make an impact. Watch for these elite players to explode this AAU season.
Elliot Cadeau Elliot Cadeau 6'2" | PG Bergen Catholic | 2024 MO | 6’2” | G | Bergen Catholic 2024
Cadeau may be one of the best marketed basketball players in the world—He’s got a website, NIL deals and interest from just about every major college in the country. He’s silky smooth with the ball in his hands, can create his own shot and shoot from deep. There’s not much else that needs to be said about Cadeau at this stage—He’s a known commodity, among the top players in his class. He will drive the bus for the Crusaders. 5 star kid. Plays for NY Lightning.
David Munro David Munro 6'7" | PF College Achieve | 2025 State NJ | 6’7” | F | Bergen Catholic 2025
As if Cadeau wasn’t power enough, the Crusaders also have a dominating front court prospect who will be an elite level recruit as well. A big bodied forward who bangs in the post and has good moves and footwork around the basket. He can also extend and shoot. He’s a hard nosed defender and will only continue to become increasingly dominant as he grows, matures, gets quicker, more coordinated and packs on muscle. Plays for PSA Cardinals.
Terry Copeland Terry Copeland 6'8" | PF Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC | 6’9” | F | Bergen Catholic 2024
The power in the front court for BC may be unmatched in the state with Copeland and Munro out there together this winter. He’s one of those “immoveable object” type players who’s got a strong center of gravity that causes problems for defenders. He moves well in the post and is also a good passer out of the post. Copeland had a number of big games as a sophomore. He’s already got half a dozen major D1 offers. Also plays for PSA Cardinals.
Brandon Benjamin Brandon Benjamin 6'7" | PF St. Thomas More | 2025 State New E | 6’7” | F | Bergen Catholic 2024
Benjamin served notice as a sophomore that he’s going to be one of the top bigs in the state the next two years. Benjamin is athletic and strong around the rim. He has a high motor and hits the glass hard on both ends of the floor. He had a great game vs Rutgers Prep in the state finals, with 15 pt, 14 boards and 5 blocks. He is another elite level recruit in the Crusaders arsenal for the next two years. Plays AAU for Team Rio .
