Anthony came in and was a commanding presence. Certainly one of the more eye catching prospects at BIC, he initiated from several spots, showed ability to get his hands free, and ability to stretch the defense and finish in tight. He was dynamic and was one of the first names college coaches were mentioning on the sidelines throughout the 2 days. We see him being a versatile offensive prospect above and below GLE, and we felt he had great balance of making plays but also swinging the ball and letting it come to him.
Mason came back for his 2nd year and picked up right where he left off. He is shifty, and has explosive COD. Coaches noted his feel for the game and he has great playmaking ability. He's not afraid to be physical and attack matchups, and can create his own shot.
Ortleib burst into day 2 and caught eyes right away. He displayed elite decision making, touch on his feeds, and ability finishing around the cage. One college coach notes that his game reminded him of Steele Stanwick. He's a smooth operator, strong athlete, and projects to be a great get for a high level D1 offense. One staff member noted how hard he rides, which is something every college coach wants to see out of their attack.
Lacorazza has a varied offensive skill set and is a high IQ player. He puts himself in great scoring spots and can stretch with range or finish with finesse inside. There is going to be a school that finds a way to utilize his offensive skillset at attack or coming out of the box that will be very happy a few seasons from now.
Riorden came back for his 2nd BIC camp and didn't disappoint. He has great size, great vision, and an awesome release with both hands. He changes direction well, and is a multi faceted midfielder. He was one of Team 3's best, if not best, player and coaches loved his versatility. One staff member compared him to a Jack Myers type but at the midfield. Riorden is next up in a recent wave of strong offensive talent out of Shady Side Academy.
Danna made marked improvements each session across the 2 days. A lefty with a quick burst, and ability to score or feed. He was highly coachable and is a slick player. He's going to fit very well into a positionless college offense.
Martin certainly passes the eye test when it comes to college ready midfielders. He's physical and a strong athlete. His strong RH shot was on display and he dodges with power. As he continues to fine tune his offensive skillset, he's a midfielder we see colleges getting excited about potentially using in different ways.
Kunz impressed the staff with his well rounded play and versatility. He's strong in the pick game and has an ability to play below GLE. Coaches praised his consistency and decision making across the 2 days and will be a nice prospect to continue to evaluate this summer.
Great off the ground, and good both on and off the ball. John had presence out on the field which is one thing we were constantly preaching to the defenders. We could feel John out there and so could the offensive players -- he did a great job staying in the dodgers' hands as they looked to feed.
Sorenson may have been the most complete defender at the event. He did a great job covering the ball and was very patient and disciplined, but his off-ball play really stood out. Not many guys at this level hold an off-ball stance and communicate at the level that Parker does.
Gaetano is excellent off the ground and in the middle of the field. He was patient on dodgers, but not afraid to take body and make contact when the opportunities present themselves. Coaches loved how he competed like crazy after ground balls. He has great feet and great hands which show in how he plays.
Every coach on our staff brought up how Will stood out over the course of the event. He has great speed as illustrated by running the fastest flying 20 at the combine (2.07 seconds), but what really stood out was his motor and effort. He was making plays all over the field - causing turnovers, getting ground balls, pushing the ball in transition, and scoring goals. He had a major impact on the field. Not many players wanted to dodge Will and everyone heard him communicating throughout drills.
Jack Carroll is a very well-rounded player with good size. He knows how to play angles on the ball and makes contact at the right times. Jack has a great stick, but he is also a guy that really stands out as a communicator and in his off-ball play which is less common at many of these events.
Came to play with a chip on his shoulder. Smaller guy but did not let that stop him from playing at a very high level all event. Ty’s not afraid to get creative on inside looks and is patient on outside shots which makes him a dynamic goalie. He’s smart with the ball in his stick and makes great outlets in the clearing game that can lead to transition opportunities. Ty’s level of play this weekend establishes himself as a goalie that can play at the next level.
Matt is an elite goalie in the 2025 class. Extremely athletic which quick hands makes for a deadly combo and someone who can change the momentum of a game with one shot. He’s extremely smart on the field which allows him to help his defense give up shots he wants to see, and that’s something not many HS goalies can do. Definitely a name to watch for on the next level.
Zach blew the doors off of the combine with impressive numbers. Was dominant on day one varying between clamps and rakes with a lot of success, and is a vacuum off of the ground on ground balls. Zach finished top 5 in each combine test.
Big and athletic with a Nonstop motor. Thrived with a powerful Clamp plunger and varied his exits. A couple stance tweaks and he will be a D1 caliber face off man easily. Always sprinted on and off the field. His complete level is tremendous.
