2026 JERSEY LIVE CHEAT SHEET … HUDSON CATHOLIC… CHATHAM HIGH SCHOOL…CALDWELL HIGH SCHOOL
Throughout the next weeks leading up to Jersey Live. I will preview teams and players each day. Today we have three teams that have rosters filled with talented players. All the players I have personally seen play on video, at NBS or during the high school season. I will not evaluate or speak about kids I have not seen play. So understand some very good players could be missed or left out of the report.
There are few things I wish to clear up before we start.
**A D1 LOCK means the player has D1 offers on the table or has recieved serious interest or I personal inside information about a kids recruiting status
** D1 POTENTIAL means a player has shown D1 talent and not caught the eye of Coaches yet. This player has some work left to do
** A FUTURE COLLEGE PLAYER means a player will play in college at some level even if it’s not D1
** WHEN YOU SEE THE GYM RAT LOGO understand these players add additional value to your program. GYM RATS can play a level above their natural ability. Now with that being said, it DOES NOT MEAN, IF A PLAYER IS NOT A GYM RAT, THAT THE PLAYER IS NOT A HARD WORKER. But I strongly urge coaches as always, recruit Gym Rats, they always get better at the next level and you never have to beg them to give effort or do more.

’27 Susan Gentile 5’8″- COMBO this is a polished player that is long and athletic. She can defend both point guards and wings. More importantly, she plays both positions equally well on the offensive side of the ball. She not only can get shifty but she can get physical. She packs a serious competitive nature. She had 440 points last season and over 100 rebounds with 91 assists. While playing against some of the best teams and players in the state. She scored in double figures every game except one. Her ability to shoot the deep three sets up a masterful mid range game. She is next level off the dribble and can score or turn into a elite playmaker… the IQ IS THE BIGGEST REASON SHE DOES NOT TURN THE BALL OVER. She knows every ball screen read and understand how to elevate teammates. She is quietly one of the best guards in all of New Jersey. She is a MID MAJOR STEAL…PATRIOT LEAGUE AND IVY LEAGUE TYPE STARTER... there are those with bigger reps but smaller games. Go look at her hit list!
’28 Lia Barker – 5’3″- GUARD, she is a tough hard nose on ball defender. She is confident and understands her role as a point guard. But has the ability to play the off guard when called upon to do so. She had multiple double figure scoring games. This is a nice recruit for a up and coming program.

’29 Skylar Guillod- 5’10- WING, there is so much upside here. She is a very strong and bouncy type player who can guard multiple positions. While her offensive game is continuing to grow her athleticism will carry her for now. She is a dual threat offering both a improving outside game and she has a real post up game. She runs lanes and is active on the offensive glass… projects D2 and possible D1 depending on her improvement curve and commitment. She shows real shot blocking skills at times. This is a player who is a growing ball handler. She is just a freshman so what she will be in the future is entirely up to her work ethic, but it hard not to like what you see right now.
“29 Annie Gentile- 5’8*+- TRUE POINT/WING, the fact of the matter is that she is a P4 player and may be the best young guard in the class. Let’s just say she is Top 2. Let’s also say she has one of the most complete games you will see for a player this young. Her body is a dream body for a guard. She can be the ultimate playmaker or scorer, depending on your teams needs. This is a player with a remarkable next level basketball IQ. Her maturity will throw you completely off guard. You will feel you are speaking to a senior in college. Her handle is elite without all the extras but it’s in the bag, when it time to go show time. Her leadership is 2nd to none. Her ability to run a team and create space for herself and teammates… off the charts!!! Her footspeed and toughness are built for P4 schools. Her shooting right on point. Coaches this is a dream recruit.
’30 Madison Noel- 5’9″ WING– We know she is athletic, word is she defends and is a very promising incoming freshman
CHATHAM HIGH SCHOOL
COACH – TBA
POTENTIAL D1 PLAYERS (1)
D1 LOCKS- (0)
COLLEGE POTENTIAL– (3)
NOELLE GRADY- 5’8”- WING- This is a college ready shooter with real range to 28 ft. While she is not an elite ball handler, she has a big strong body and understands how to take care of the ball. She is a HIGH IQ player in that she appears to always understand what is taking place on the court. Because of her body she has a chance to be an excellent rebounding guard at the next level. She sees the floor and has real value when it comes to shot selection. SHE WILL NOT TAKE BAD SHOTS. She is an excellent off the ball defender. She knows all the rotations. This is a player that has been coached up. She is skilled and a classic program kid. She has all the makings of a glue player for a winning program at the next level. She has a 3.9 GPA which should perk up high academic D3 schools. This is a player that once she gets to a college environment will emerge. She has a willing work ethic and strong desire to perform.THIS COULD BE A D3 STEAL for those looking for reliable shooter.
.
SHEA LANE- 5’8”- COMBO- Coaches you’d be wise to listen to what I’m about to say. This is a player with a massive upside. There is no doubt in my mind she will emerge at the next level. She has all the ingredients you look for in a combo guard. She has next level speed and quickness. She knows when to pass and more importantly how to get it to teammates. Her handle is just what you look for in a combo guard. She can handle pressure and more importantly get by defenders. SHE IS A DEADLY SHOOTER when she gets going. But pay attention to her ability to get to the rim and score but also find shooters and cutters. Now are you asking the level? This may shock a few not paying attention. She is a classic coaches kid. She makes the right play, doesn’t shoot enough or play selfish enough. But this is a D3 national contending type guard and if you surround her with talented I BELIEVE A PATRIOT SCHOOL would be wiser to track her because again the upside is HUGE! You been warned. This is a player that could open eyes at JERSEY LIVE( see her highlight tape).
Lucy Arps – 5’6 – COMBO GUARD– Elite athlete and off the charts speed. One of the fastest players in the State with the ball in her hands . She is a next level on ball defender. Outstanding passer in transition and sees the floor. . She is a reliable shooter out to 22ft and attacks close outs very well. Multi sport athlete that excels in both soccer and track. Interesting prospect.
CALDWELL HIGH SCHOOL
COACH– Amanda Keenan

GYM RATS (1)
*special note, my guess is Addison Keenan is a gym rat.
‘27 ADDISON KEENAN- 5’6” – COMBO– If you watch this kid play and don’t love her game. Then something is wrong with you and your evaluation skills. This young lady checks every box. She is ultra competitive, she is a animal on defense. She is a 50/50 ball rock star, she is physical and off the charts confident. This is a kid who does all the WINNING SHIT and she does it in style. She is a legit game breaking shooter, the form is picture perfect, but her ability to get to the rim and score or turn into a player maker is next level. She is a player that has been clearly coached up (major props to her inner circle) This is a player that can break a teams defensive spirit. She is not just masterful in transition, SHE CHANGES GAMES. She has a full understanding of if when to go and when to slow down. She is a dream recruit because she rather die than give up on a play or game( See state chip game vs Manasquan). This type of player that you dream about on game day and relish on practice days. Her stats are not worth discussing. They are off the charts, she has over 1400 points, over 300 rebounds and over 300 steals… and has one year left. If she was in the hyped up’ed Shore Conference we’d be calling her one of the best in the entire state. The video don’t lie… THIS IS A D1 LOCK AND INSANELY UNDERRATED PLAYED PLAYER… you better check my record in such matters.
’28 JORDAN SALISBURY- 5’11+- SWING/FORWARD– She is a warrior that is full of versatility and skills. She is a true SWISS KNIFE in the real sense of the word…NOT HYPE BUT FACTS! She is a true inside and out player. She is a tough match because she can post up smaller players and can post up bigger players. That’s because her foot work is elite and so next level. She is a reliable three point shooter and just what the doctor ordered for D1 college coaches. She does not overdose on or try to prove she is a three point shooter. She takes the ones that she gets and knocks them down ( A LESSON TO ALL KIDS HER SIZE). She will rebound outside of her area and most importantly in traffic. She is a deer in transition because her conditioning is outstanding. She is a reliable ball handler that does not get in a rush or do to much. It makes her a dynamic passer. She holds D1 offers and will be part of a serious recruiting war come next April, if she is still on the board. SHE DOES THE HARD SHIT. She travels 3 days a week over a hour one way to play for the Shoreshots and is not afraid of next level competition. She will most likely attend NBS summer camp and do not be surprised if she takes her game to a a new level. THIS IS A EMERGING PLAYER… SHE IS A D1 LOCK OF LOCKS!
’28 ADRIANA BROWN- 5’8″- SWING– She is crafty and wonderful in transition. She is better than advertised because of her effort and ability to play with pace. She will get on the glass and give you 2nd and 3rd efforts. Not a great athlete but highly motivated and aggressive.
“28 FALLON FIORE- 5’5” – COMBO– She fast and aggressive. Fallon, has the ability to push the ball in transition and create opportunities for teammates. She had over 100 assists last season. She has shown the ability to score with multiple double figure scoring games last season. She has a hard nosed handle and a expectional competitive nature.
’28 ELENA KEARNS- 5’6″- SWING– She a hard nose, dirty work type player. She has shown a real ability to get on the glass and more importantly fill lanes in transition. She is a glue player that is willing to grind and do the little things. She had 14 three’s last season showing she is capable. This is a player that could slip though the cracks because she does so many things that do not show up in a stat sheet. Like her ability to pass in tight spaces and her talent for making the extra pass. She will be a excell rebound guard at the next level. JERSEY LIVE IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO SHOWCASE HER SKILLS.
’28 GRACE HODGSON- GUARD…. NO CURRENT INFORMATION. WILL GET A GOOD LOOK AT HER DURING JERSEY LIVE
NBS AND OTHER CAMP DATES….
