PGH New Jersey Recruiting Update: 7/13

<p>We haven't done a recruiting update in New Jersey in a bit, and just in the last day or two, there's been a beehive of activity within the state of players committing and receiving offers. This is the first of numerous updates this week about recruiting.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='333348' first='Ella' last='Kreuzer'] - Chatham (2025) commits to Bucknell</h2>   <p>Kreuzer is now the second New Jersey prospect over the last few weeks to make Bucknell her future home, following the path of 2024 Manasquan star [player_tooltip player_id='325209' first='Hope' last='Masonius']. She announced her commitment on social media on Wednesday.</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/EllaKreuzer/status/1679155150965952512?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>Her first two seasons at Chatham have showcased her as one of the best 2025 prospects in the state. She averaged a career-high 13.7 PPG and 2.5 APG as a sophomore along with 1.6 steals a game and just under 1.7 made three-pointers a game. A multi-time All-County and All-NJAC selection, Kreuzer already has a near-complete all-around game, and she is budding with confidence and grit.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='488673' first='Iyanna' last='Cotten'] - Franklin (2024) offered by Saint Peter's, Assumption</h2>   <p>It's been a long time coming for colleges to show interest in Cotten, but the 2024 prospect from Franklin announced a Division I offer from Saint Peter's on Wednesday. Following that, she received another from Assumption on Thursday.</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/iyannacotten/status/1679171414446821376?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/iyannacotten/status/1679618737849212928?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>From what we can see, this is Cotten's first Division I offer, if not her first college offer overall, a well-deserved moment for someone who has been refining her game well over the past two seasons. Her junior year showcased the level of overall success and consistency she can offer on the floor, averaging 12.8 PPG, 5.3 RPG and 3.4 APG in 25 games played. She also averaged a career-high 2.8 SPG on the year.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='325223' first='Madison' last='Miller'] - Morris Catholic (2024) offered by St. Bonaventure, Saint Joseph's</h2>   <p>Add two more Division I offers to the ever-growing list for the Morris Catholic forward Miller, announcing her latest one from St. Bonaventure on Wednesday and Saint Joseph's on Thursday.</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/Madison101305/status/1679274146818031617?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/Madison101305/status/1679664490822991872?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>This latest offer makes it 10 offers for Miller since June 23 and her third from the Atlantic 10 in that span. Colleges have prioritized her size, a 6-3 forward with mobility, and the offers have been pouring in this summer. Her AAU season with Rise As One has been very successful, and playing with [player_tooltip player_id='325219' first='Alexis' last='Rosenfeld'] last season is certainly going to make her that much better as the two form a fearsome tandem for the Crusaders coming into this season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='325190' first='Abby' last='Misier'] - Hightstown (2024) offered by Saint Francis, Le Moyne</h2>   <p>Misier is coming off her second-straight season averaging a double-double, and the forward was rewarded accordingly this summer, earning an offer from Saint Francis on Wednesday and Le Moyne on Thursday.</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/abbymisier/status/1679241315056332800?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/abbymisier/status/1679663495778795521?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>One of the more intriguing prospects in the 2024 class, Misier, like Miller, is a tall forward, a 6-4 stalwart in the paint with great shot-blocking and defensive ability and just a great feel in the paint and around the rim. Her basketball awareness speaks for itself as she is often the catalyst of production on either side of the ball for Hightstown. A fantastic prospect and hopefully one that will be receiving many more college offers upcoming.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='525477' first='Precious' last='Wheeler'] - Franklin (2025) offered by Fordham, Murray St., North Carolina A&T, Temple, Delaware</h2>   <p>Wow oh wow what an eventful last few days it has been for Wheeler, announcing five different Division I offers since Wednesday. Those include Fordham, Murray State, North Carolina A&T, Temple and Delaware.</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/its_gem0408/status/1679562283809222656?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/its_gem0408/status/1679547755163688972?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/Fhsladywarrior1/status/1679277618909130753?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/its_gem0408/status/1679923187792990209?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>Wheeler had a breakout sophomore season with Franklin, averaging just under 10.0 PPG and 7.6 RPG in 24 games, increasing her defensive production significantly. From 1.8 blocks a game as a freshman, she averaged a block more a game as a sophomore, 2.8 BPG overall, plus her overall awareness down on the block was better overall. She's realizing the impact of her game and what she can do and she's starting to execute that more consistently and effectively.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='333309' first='Daniella' last='Matus'] - St. John Vianney (2025) offered by Elon </h2>   <p>It's been a bit since we heard recruiting news out of Matus's camp, but on Wednesday, work got out on social media that she was offered by Elon.</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/TeamSharp23/status/1679266710182850560?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>It's great to see the 5-10 combo guard add another Division I offer to her list, but she's also changing scenery for next season, headed to St. John Vianney in a big transfer move. Matus, one of the best 2025 prospects in the state, will undoubtedly be one of the main pieces for the Lancers next season, most likely filling the void left by incoming NC State freshman Zoe Brooks. A perfect opportunity is in front of her, no doubt.</p>
