PGH New Jersey Recruiting Update & More 6/10

<p>We are into June now and the recruiting trail hasn't stopped in New Jersey. We have players moving schools, moving states, visits, offers and commitments. This article will go over it all, addressing any updates since our last recruiting update in late May.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='325223' first='Madison' last='Miller'] - Morris Catholic (2024) set to visit Fairleigh Dickinson</h2>   <p>It's always good to see players going on visits to Division I programs, and following a visit to Rider for a camp in early June, Miller announced on Twitter that she'll be going on an unofficial visit to Fairleigh Dickinson on the 13th. She's been a great complementary player for Pope John for her first three seasons before joining what's becoming a super team at Morris Catholic. She's coming off her first double-double average season, and her frontcourt tandem with [player_tooltip player_id='325219' first='Alexis' last='Rosenfeld'] upcoming is going to be insane to watch.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='325209' first='Hope' last='Masonius'] - Manasquan (2024) offered by Bucknell</h2>   <p>The offers are slowly, but surely coming in for Masonius, the key piece up top for Manasquan the past few years, and on June 8, she received an offer from Division I program Bucknell.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/HMasonius/status/1666888815108055045?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>It's great to see the same names pop up in these updates, but Masonius has been a seldom occurring one, though she deserves the praise as much as any other player. A staple at the top of the key, she can score with the best of them, but commands the floor with ease, playing like a college sophomore while being a rising senior.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='529937' first='Adriana' last='Santiago'] (2024) commits to Rowan, transfers to MacDuffie School (MA)</h2>   <p>It was great to see the 2024 prospect from Montgomery decide to stay in-state, committing to Division III program Rowan over the past two weeks. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/ajsanti10/status/1665767722368614405?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>However, while she'll be keeping things in New Jersey, for now, she's moving to Massachusetts for her senior season, playing at the MacDuffie School. She's an interesting case for the fact that she's returning to New Jersey in a year's time, but for now, the 2024 prospect is moving to the New England area to polish off her basketball skillset.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='583758' first='Nila' last='Giraud'] - Montclair IC (2025) earns three more Division I offers</h2>   <p>The six-foot stretch forward from Immaculate Conception has been racking up Division I offers in recent weeks, earning five before the end of May. Now, she has three more to add to the list from North Carolina A&T, Manhattan and Rider.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/nila_giraud1/status/1666510977565597712?s=20 </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/nila_giraud1/status/1664733028822708225?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>Giraud's size and height is something that simply cannot be taught and is a big reason why she's been scouted so often and so much recently by colleges. NCA&T is her first HBCU offer to the list, as well as two schools from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. This is a player coming off her first double-double average season, add on nearly two blocks and two steals a game.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='501852' first='McKenna' last='Karlson'] - Manasquan (2024) offered by Fairleigh Dickinson</h2>   <p>Fairleigh Dickinson has been on the recruiting trail in New Jersey, especially close to the campus of the school. Karlson is the next player to receive an offer from the Division I program, announcing it on June 3.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/mkarlson13/status/1664656676840955905?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>Karlson has a great opportunity in front of her this summer to ball out with NJ Rise's 17U team, but her junior year was incredible for growth, finally earning consistent playing time as she averaged just under 7.0 PPG. As a senior, she's going to be a starter for Manasquan and should be one of the better guards in the Shore Conference as a whole.</p>
