Ragoo is a long, wiry guard who consistently makes an impact on both ends of the floor. Offensively, he has a confident handle, can create his own shot, and finishes well through contact. Defensively, he uses his length and anticipation to disrupt passing lanes and apply pressure on the ball. His two-way ability and steady motor make him a difference-maker every time he steps on the court.

Debuting with a new program, Darden wasted no time showing why he’s already asserted himself at this early stage as one of the top young prospects in New England. Coming off a standout freshman season for state power Wilbur Cross, the young wing catches the eye immediately with his sinewy frame and advanced athleticism. Over the course of two commanding wins, he would show he has the game to match, putting together some tantalizing sequences as a ballhandler and slasher both in the halfcourt and transition. We didn’t see much from him as a jump shooter, an area we’ll look to hone in on in future viewings, but it’s clear Darden possesses the tools to be a high-level prospect who could find his way onto college radars before much longer.

Darden’s speed and agility allow him to stay in front of quicker guards, contest shots, and challenge opponents at the rim. He plays with a tremendous motor, consistently chasing down rebounds and running the court. Offensively, Darden uses his strides and athleticism to drive to the paint, utilizing pro hops and jump stops to create plays. He effectively sets up teammates with kick-out passes and, when needed, can draw fouls and get to the free-throw line. His length and elevation also help him develop clean shots and scoring opportunities at the rim.
