Expert Analysis
Robbie Hodin | Prep Hoops Scout
Reardon is the definition of offensive versatility. The 6-foot-5 wing plays the point-forward position for his NE Storm squad and does an excellent job using his size and strength to overpower opposing backcourt players who are matched up with him—he often takes them to the post and forces double teams, which opens up his passing vision and feel. But he can also handle full-court pressure against small guards, and he dribbles the ball quite comfortably for his size, despite not wowing you with his quickness or explosiveness. The rising senior can play without the ball, too; he’s a phenomenal shooter who has a quick release and a good understanding of when and how to attack closeouts. Reardon can fill any role you ask of him on the offensive end and provides versatility and strength defensively.

Reardon has been phenomenal for NE Storm this spring, showcasing the ability to handle the ball and be the floor general for his squad even though he stands at 6-foot-5 and is the size of a D1 wing. The junior has good strength and keeps a nice line to the rim on drives, and smaller guards generally can’t knock him off his spot, so there’s evidence that he utilizes his physical advantages well. The St. Paul’s combo-guard can also play with or without the ball because of his shooting ability, and he can guard tons of different players on the court because of his combination of physicality and coordination—he’s versatile on both ends. Bright future ahead for Reardon, who’s getting some excellent experience running the point for NE Storm.

Reardon, out of the St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire, checks in at #25 among the small forwards and #135 overall. Reardon is another prospect that has made a smooth transition to the NEPSAC, showing the ability to score it in multiple ways, while also making a big time impact on the defensive glass. The sturdy, 6’5″ wing does a great job of using his strength to rebound in traffic, while also showing the mobility needed to guard on the perimeter. Offensively, he’s an instinctive cutter that has proven to be a big time shot maker from behind the arc in catch and shoot situations.

Reardon erupted this weekend for NE Storm and established himself as one of the better 2027’s in attendance at the Hoop Fest. The 6-foot-5 wing showed off an incredibly versatile offensive game that included consistent shooting from both the three and the mid range and a variety of finishes at the rim and from about 6 feet. The St. Paul’s school junior is always in control in the paint and does an excellent job getting to two feet and making the right decision. Look for him to get tons of college looks this upcoming year.

Reardon, a versatile hybrid forward out of St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire, does a little bit of everything on both ends of the floor. He has a good frame and uses it to his advantage as a physical presence defensively. He can guard up and down a lineup and shows the ability to both rebound in space and around the rim in traffic. Offensively, he makes good decisions with the ball in his hands, has a high IQ as an off-ball cutter, and is capable of knocking down shots in catch and shoot situations.
