2026 JERSEY LIVE COLLEGE COACHES CHEAT SHEET… MANASQUAN… TRINITY HALL… GIL ST. BERNARD
‘
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 thing I wish to clear up before you 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.

OVERVIEW
MANASQUAN is one of the gold standards in new Jersey Basketball. They are the 3x TOC Champions, 12x Overall Group State Champions, 17x State Sectional Champions. They have sent too many players to mention on to the D1 level. This is a team with a lots of D1 talent to lean on and more importantly, many of them are under the radar. Like many great players of the past, this years group was asked to wait their turn. There time has arrived, this roster has one of the best two way guards in the state. Two of the best freshman in the State and roster of players that will play some level of college basketball. THEY HAVE ONE OF THE BEST SOPHOMORE CLASSES IN THE STATE and a Team of Gym Rats.
’28 CALISTA VOWTERAS- 5’8″- COMBO She is one of the best two way players in the entire state. Her ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball is a gift. She is blessed with lighting next level speed and quickness. She is a flat out, knock it out shooter. But it’s her ability to break down defenses at either guard spot the separates her from most. She is a next level ball handler who understands rotating defenses and see’s pressure. She is a true unselfish play maker. She elevates her game on the biggest stages. She is a future All Patriot League type player and Ivy League starter. She is a High Mid Major LOCK. I strongly suggest A-10 type schools watch her play multiple times.
’27 PAIGE DONNELLY- 5’8″ – COMB0– She is so slippery and crafty. She has the ability to knock down three’s with range. A very confident ball handler. She is a excellent “big time” defender and is masterful at stepping in lanes for steals. She is beyond sneaky athletic with a wiry strong body, the sneaks up on opponents. Her ability to get out in transition for easy buckets is hard to ignore. She is a 50/50 rebounding queen and unless you are paying attention you will miss this skill set. This is a very seasoned player and if you are a high academic winning program, you must pay attention. She has a quiet competitive nature. Her ability to knock down jumpers is a flat out talent, because she can shoot with a hand in her face and understands how to get to open spots. She DOES NOT TURN THE BALL OVER. She makes the flow and the extra pass look easy. She must be on your list of must see at Jersey Live. She has a chance to blow up on the weekend.
“28 MOLLY O’BOYLE– 5’11”- WING- She is a true sleeper with a real upside and we are talking a D1 upside with the bottom out being a high level D2, not bad for a role player a year ago. She has a college body right now and has stepped up her game to another level. She is strong and more importantly willing to use her strength. She has strong hands which helps her to be a excellent rebounder in traffic. She has range to 25 ft and is a willing passer. She will be able to guard forwards and switch to guards…. She is a GYM RAT! HIGH ACADEMIC SCHOOLS MUST BE IN PLAY… PATRIOT SCHOOLS PAY ATTENTION!. This is a swiss knife with the ability to play in high level games because of her maturity and ability to adapt.
‘27 ROSE LATESTA- 5’9″- FORWARD – Played a major role in Manasquan’ s chip run. She has a big strong body and excellent size. She like this entire roster has excellent hands and rebounds in traffic. She understands positional defense and embraces her role. She is a reliable three point shooter and shown a ability to get to the rim either off the bounce or on the offensive glass. She has seen elite competition in her time at Manasquan. She is a winning player and small colleges would be wise to invest in her.
’28 RIAN DWYER- 5’8″ – POINT GUARD– She can play multiple guard positions because of her toughness and next level confidence. She is a warrior and a gym rat. Her competitive nature is off the charts. She is a hound dog on defense and has the ability to change games with her hustle and 50/50 ball game. She is a reliable three point shooter to 23 feet and creates havoc in the lane. She handles the ball equally well with either hand. Her vision is truly next level. She is a real tribute to the Manasquan program. Another Possible D1 player who has had to play the waiting game behind so many D1 older guards ahead of her. This is a program kid with next level talent.
‘28 ABIGAIL DWYER-5’10- SWING– A live college ready body and she is willing to give her body up. She simply does all the winning shit. Another Manasquan player who has been sitting in the wings. She is versatile on both sides of the ball. She has the shooting range to play the big wing position and toughness to play in the post. She can defend and switch defenders and not lose a beat, regardless of their size or quickness. She has the strength and aggressive nature to guard big forwards. She is a excellent passer, she can serve as a release against pressure or make the finishing pass in offense. She is a GYM RAT WITH A SERIOUS MATURE WORK ETHIC!… She has all the making of A FUTURE D1 PLAYER… another must see under the radar player
’27 FINDLEIGH TUITE- 5’4″ – COMBO– She is a hard worker and total program kid. She will do all the dirty work and more. She is a excellent shooter to 23 feet and is true ball protector. She will guard baseline to baseline or discipled hard nosed half court defense. She understands defensive rotations and is a excellent passer in trainstion or when breaking down defenders. She has a true competitive nature and willingness to put team first. She has real value both on and off the court. Does not run from competitive environments.

’28 REECE RAMPONE– 5’8″- WING– She is a good athlete, who has a strong body. She has the ability to get to the rim off the bounce. She gets out in transition and fills lanes. She has flashed an ability to shoot the ball. This is a player that I hope to see more of at Jersey Live.
’30 VANESSA VOWTERAS- 5’10”- COMBO– She has next level elite positional length and size already. She is one of the best incoming freshman in the entire state. Her quickness and speed are eye popping. She is a defensive demon and more importantly likes to defend. She has shooting range to 23ft and my guess is that will extend to 28ft in the next 4 years… she is a excellent ball handler… too keep it simple D1 SCHOOLS YOU CAN OFFER RIGHT NOW!
’30 KYLIE ANZZOLIN -5’6″ POINT GUARD– She is the best young point guard in the Shore Conference. Think Sophia Sabino coaches with a better shooting touch at this age. Her feel for the game is off the charts. Her ability to see one play ahead is a real talent. She has elite ball. handling skills and runs pick and roll to perfection. She knows just about every ball screen read. She has not touched the surface of her talents. This is a rock star in the makings… This is a future D1 LOCK

FUTURE COLLEGE PLAYERS- (5)
GYM RATS– (1)
‘29 ELLA KRYAL-5’10”-WING –Shore Conference Freshman of the year. Range to 30 feet, Shoots off the catch, dribble or in transition at a high percentage. Unorthodox shooting style that is highly effective. Excellent passer and high IQ TYPE. Not flashy but reliable ball handler against elite pressure and quick guards. Make the hockey assist pass better than just about any player in the state. May be able to play some PG at some point. Excellent defensive rebounder from the guard spot. DESPITE playing with future D1 bound Grace Feeney(Bucknell) and a senior led team. She saw double teams and face guards all season. Yet still managed to knock down 58 three’s on the season. One behind the Shore Conference leader while playing 4 less games. Her improvement curve year to year has been sensational. This is an elite scorer and rare playmaker who has to be game planned. This is a player with Elite Confident that is a GYM RAT ( 6 WEEKS OF SUMMER CAMP LAST SUMMER )… IVY AND PATRIOT MUST RECRUIT… D1 LOCK THAT YOU CAN OFFER NOW!

‘30 CAM BEGLEY-5’10- COMBO WING -Highly regarded incoming freshman WILL ELEVATE YOUR LOCKEROOM FROM DAY ONE. She has a winning attitude and is ego free. She is the type of player you build your program around. She has next level length and nice positional size right now. Excellent hands and athletic quickness with dominate reflexes. Solid ball handler who is starting to flash signs of Point Guard Skills. The word on the street is that she is becoming an excellent shooter. That is a dangerous thought with her natural talents to begin with. This is a big time offensive rebounder, who could be a true defensive stopper in time at the next level. Best suited in up tempo type style of play. She has a massive upside. She has all the tools to be a future high Major D1 player, a high academic must recruit. She is one of the Top entering freshman in the Shore Conference. She will start and get tons of minutes over the next 4 years. The potential here is unlimited. She is a drama free and true teammate. She will do all the winning shit!
‘30 MADDIE STUBBLE- 6’0”-FORWARD– The best incoming freshman forward in the Shore Conference. She has a massive improvement curve in the last year. Understand she is a elite rebounder in traffic, no rebound is off limits in her mind. Runs the floor like a deer and has those hands from the heavens. She is a physical shot blocker, gaining confidence on and off the court daily. She can be the anchor for a defense at the next level. While her shooting range is a work in progress, she already is a reliable stand still shooter to 17 feet. She will start at Trinity Hall and see a massive amount of minutes in her career. She has shown a competitive nature and willingness to fight tooth and nail. She is a D1 MM LOCK right now with the real possibility to improve on that prediction.
’29 KATHERINE MCCARTHY- 5’9″- SWING– She is a high IQ, typical coaches daughter. She knows how to play on both sides of the ball. She is flat out a dynamic passer without the flash and dash. She is a underrated shooter to 21 feet, who is very good at finishing at the rim or becoming a play maker. She is a excellent off ball defender, (rare for young players). She is highly skilled and has a big upside and will play a big role at Trinity Hall the next 3 years. This is a player high academic schools must discover now. I believe she is still growing physically and height wise. Their is a real chance we are looking at a 6ft shooting guard before this all is a wrap
’29 GIANNA SCHOOR- 5’11”- SWING– Coaches you are looking at a player who is a late developer. She grown 3-4 inches in the past year and still is gowning. She is a gifted shooter with real range and understands how to get shots off using her size. She is more than a reliable ball handler and passer. The family made the very wise decision to let her train vs playing AAU… BRAVO SOME PARENTS STILL GET IT COACHES. The upside here is hard to put into words. She has not touched the surface of what she will be in 3 years. She has not hit her growth spell if that is possible to believe. She currently lacks strength but not confidence. She is moving towards GYM RAT STATUS has everytime you turn around, she pops up. This could be a real “BIG” story in 3 years. COACHES PAY CLOSE ATTENTION

‘27 KAITY PLATT-5’9”- WING- She has a college body and knows how to use it. One of the most underrated D1 players in the state. Has the ability to shoot the three to 25 ft m. But it’s he mid range game and ability to get to the rim that will standout. She has excellent floor vision and a real ability to elevate teammates. Not blazing speed but dangerously deceptive quickness. She is a rock steady ball handler, you cannot turn her over. Expect her to be a real next level rebounding guard. Her numbers this pass season were shocking when you consider the elite competition she faced. Not to mention playing alongside two other D1 players. She had 363 points…205 rebounds and 82 dimes. She has played some of the best competition during her young basketball career. COACHES SHE IS JUST 16 YEARS OLD… now let that marinate for a minute. This is a player who will have multiple D1 offers. JERSEY LIVE is the perfect launching pad for PLATT. Again it is very important to see her with her high school team.
’27 MELINA MILLER-5’7” – COMBO– You cannot turn your back on 165 assists (not a typo) and 20 three’s from the point guard postion playing against some of the best competition the state has to offer. She is quick and more importantly smart and a excellent decision maker. This is a player most high academic D3’s and D2’s should pay close attention to during the weekend. She has a chance to be a excellent defender at the next level and lead guard
’27 BROOKE SHUST- 6’2″- FORWARD– This is one of the one interesting players in the event. She has real size and shows real flashes at times. Her ability to score in the post is a real asset and she has shown the ability to step away and be a stretch forward type. You cannot dismiss her footwork, she has clearly been coached up. Her quickness while not breath taking is reliable. She is a high IQ player, especially in her movements. Takes her time and is rarely off balance or out of control. She put up massive numbers at Sparta last season with over 350 points and just under 250 rebounds. She is a D2 All Conference type and possible D1 forward in time. She is MUCH SEE!
’27 SADIE FINN- 5’10”- SWING– She is a well rounded player that has played against elite competition, SO SHE WON’T FOLD IN BIG GAMES. She show an ability at times to step away and shoot three’s as well as the ability to put the ball on the deck and get to the rim. She has excellent size and all the basic skill sets. She is a D3 player with a real upside. Coaches you’d be wise to watch tape of this young lady…. she is without question a player who can be a true glue type.
’28 KAITLYN COFFEY- 5’7″- COMBO– She is a warrior with a a real competitive nature. She has show flashes of being explosive on offense. The body is back withs strength and quickness. She is also a GYM RAT and seeks competition outside her comfort zone. She has range to 23 feet and will guard in a physical manner. She is unselfish and understands the importance of decision making when the game speeds up. Her ability to get to the rim and change pace is really a piece of art for such a young player. She has a college body already. She is player who over the next 3 years has real potential. What level of player is the question… she has a D1 work ethic and more importantly a D1 attitude.
’29 NAIMA MORALES SOLIVAN- 5’11”- WING– Coaches you will be wise to watch this dynamic lefty wing as often as you can during JERSEY LIVE. Her AAU environment will not showcase her skill sets. She will be a Top (5) 2029 in the state when this all shakes out. This is a player with a huge appetite for development. More importantly she has been in a competitive environment in high school. She is a excellent shooter to 23 ft. She has a lighting first step. She has a true three level game. Once her post game is elevated she will become a nightmare. This is the ULTIMATE GYM RAT. She has more upside than just about anyone in the 2029 class in New Jersey and that is real talk. Her passing skills are next level and she could play some point forward. Because of her length, size, she and next level versatility she will be a defensive gem at the next level. She has winning attitude and is drama free. Her leadership skills are dream like…. this is a must see weekend for MID MAJOR, IVY AND PATRIOT SCHOOLS… SHE IS A D1 LOCK
