Braylan had a big time year. A player who does a lot of things really well. Hard working player on both ends. He has always been a terrific rebounder and defend the post. This past season he added the three ball plus the ability to get to the rim off of 2-3 dribbles. Real nice touch on the 15 foot jumper plus a real nice passer from the high post. Quinnipiac is getting an impact player for their squad.

Tremendous season for Braylan. First team CHSAA. A workhorse on the boards. Soft touch with the foul line jumper. Added the three ball to his offensive arsenal. A key member in leading the Stepinac club to a CHSAA title. Strong physical player can muscle you up or finesse you with his skill set. Rebounds and defends at a high level.

Ritvo is not only a lethal outside shooter but also a versatile scorer who excels at finishing on the inside with finesse.

With his multifaceted scoring ability and quick-strike potential, Ritvo poses a constant threat to any opposing defense.

Braylan used his body to defend in the post. He understands the importance of using his lower body to defend in the paint. Did a nice job on the boards.

Braylan has just committed to Quinnipiac. A burly forward. Uses his body really well to score and rebound the ball. Really good vision passing out of post or from high post. Displayed an assortment of moves in the post. Does a great job on the boards on both ends. On the defensive glass  he gets the break going with really good outlet passes. Can knock down jumpers as well. Very talkative in the defensive end.

Braylan has impressed me as much as anybody we have seen in the opening month. He was always a matchup problem because of his body and his relentless pursuit of the ball and scoring inside. He is now a very capable shooter from beyond the arc. His passing ability from the elbow or out of the post is outstanding. Very talkative player in the defensive end. We have seen him lead the breaks with quick on the money outlet passes. He possesses an assortment of post moves showing tremendous footwork. With all this he is still deadly with the foul line jumper. Braylan is averaging 16 ppg and is putting up matching double figure rebounding numbers.

Ritvo is a versatile forward, contributing to various facets of the game with his well-rounded skills. His ability to heat up quickly from beyond the arc makes him a dynamic scoring threat. In addition to his shooting prowess, Ritvo excels at finishing around the rim, displaying a blend of finesse and strength. His impact extends to both ends of the court, as he demonstrates a commendable ability to secure rebounds, providing crucial second-chance opportunities for his team.

Another player who patiently waited his turn to shine and is delivering. A skilled wing who when we first saw him 2 years ago was a rebounding force and scorer inside. He has now developed into a really good mid range shooter and still the force inside. He can make the pass from the high post or find the guard on the wing. Is a matchup problem in high school and that should be a plus for him at the next level.

Ritvo showcased a multifaceted offensive game, heating up from beyond the arc while also making a significant impact with scoring in the paint. In a standout performance during game 2 of Hoophall West, Ritvo demonstrated his scoring prowess by amassing an impressive 30 points. His ability to score both inside and outside makes him hard to guard, presenting challenges for opposing defenses.
