NJ Rise’s 15U Jansen Team is New, but Ready to Ball Out

One of the newest teams to New Jersey’s AAU scene is New Jersey Rise, associated with Philly Rise and Nike EYBL. They have a number of teams competing this year, including the 15U Jansen team which is loaded with talent from Central and North Jersey. We’re going to need more than one article to talk about this loaded roster, but here’s a look at some of the talent on the 2025 squad. <strong>Casey Collins - 5-3 PG, Southern Regional (2025)</strong> Somehow, Collins was left off of our 2025 prospect rankings list, but she’s easily a top-30 freshman in the state with the level of success she had with Southern. She’s a volume shooter who’s efficient and effective with the ball, able to carve out her own shot while also playing off-ball when needed. Collins already has shown a great deal of confidence and plays with a level of poise and maturity not seen from guards at her age. This is a future First Team All-Conference player in the making. <strong>Katie Dichter - G/F, Colts Neck (2025)</strong> We haven’t seen much of Dichter on the court in high school for Colts Neck, coming off the bench mostly in her freshman year. However, in the six games she played for the Cougars, Dichter showed aggression in the paint and on the glass. She additionally is someone who can be a facilitator when handling the ball, expanding her game that much further overall. Dichter is going to relish in her playing time this summer because it’s going to help establish her presence more on the floor. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="333337" first="Grace" last="Love"] - G, Manasquan (2025)</strong> Love is in good hands at a top-caliber program in Manasquan, one of the best in the state without a doubt. She saw the court off the bench this season and is expected to have an increased role once the fall and winter come around. What’s to be expected of this guard is someone who can score and someone who is a solid defensive presence. She’ll have time this summer to work on her perimeter defending as well as dribble penetration into the lane on offense. Those small tweaks will help her out immensely. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="414241" first="Amanda" last="MacGregor"] - 5-5 G, Middletown South (2025)</strong> MacGregor was a constant bench presence for Middletown South and had her best performances of the season come toward the end of the year, a great segway into the AAU season. She’s someone that scores in bunches and has a constant presence on the boards, able to rebound well for a guard. Additionally, she’s been working on her passing and can pick out opponents on a more consistent basis than at the start of her freshman year. Don’t leave out her defense as her basketball instincts are already starting to kick in, giving her great court vision and awareness as to where the ball is at all times.
