Mikayla Blakes Mikayla Blakes 5'8" | SG Rutgers Prep | 2024 State NJ | Rutgers Prep
**Player of the Year
The Vanderbilt commit has had an unforgettable senior season to cap off an incredible high school career! She is the tenth ranked prospect in the Class of 2024 and was recently named to the McDonald’s All-American Games “East” roster. Mikayla is averaging 20.3 ppg and doing so against some of the toughest competition in both New Jersey and all of America: 34 points against St. Mary’s (NY), 29 points against St. John’s College (DC), 16 points against LuHi (NY), 33 points against Montclair Immaculate (NJ), 21 points against Bishop McNamara (MD), etc. She’s committed to playing tenacious on both sides of the ball, with season averages of 4.7 rpg and 3.9 spg. Mikayla will go down as one of the greatest and most decorated players to ever come out of the Garden State.
Mia Pauldo Mia Pauldo 5'7" | CG Morris Catholic | 2025 State NJ | Morris Catholic
Mia has torched some of the nation’s best teams this season. She has averaged 20.3 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 5.5 apg & 2.8 spg while carrying her team to a Top 10 national ranking (by ESPN). Notable performances include: 27 points against Life Center, 22 points against Pickerington Central (OH), 30 points against Mater Dei (CA), 23 points & 9 assists against Bethany (OK), 28 points against DME Academy (FL) and 20 points & 6 assists vs juggernaut LuHi (NY). She is shifty, flashy and extremely efficient, drawing huge crowds at invitationals and events all across the country while taking Morris Catholic to new heights. The Puma signee is currently ranked as the number seven prospect in the Class of 2025.
Te’Yala Delfosse Te’Yala Delfosse 6'2" | SF Ewing | 2024 State NJ | Ewing
Michigan has a tornado of talent headed their way this Fall. Te’Yala is a Swiss Army Knife on the court, showing off extreme versatility and an ultra-impressive two-way game. With averages of 19.6 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 4.0 spg, 2.4 apg, & 1.3 bpg, she has proved she can do it all and do it quite well for one of the state’s top-ranked teams. With ten double-doubles to her name this season, she has shined bright in her senior campaign: 13 points & 13 rebounds against Morris Catholic, 24 points & 13 rebounds against Hightstown, 31 points & 11 rebounds against Notre Dame, 23 points & 22 rebounds against Trenton Catholic, etc. Te”Yala is a walking double-double with tremendous size at 6’3″, who can get up and down the court with extreme quickness and play multiple positions if called upon to do so. There is simply no denying a talent this extraordinary!
Nila Giraud Nila Giraud 6'0" | PF Montclair Immaculate | 2025 State NJ | Montclair Immaculate
Although officially listed as a “stretch 4,” Nila plays what I call “big guard basketball.” She is wickedly versatile and extremely effective inside and out, giving folks across the country this season a taste of how good she really is. Averaging a double-double at 15.8 ppg & 10.5 rpg to go along with 1.8 apg, 1.3 bpg & 1.8 spg, she has shown up and shown out against top dogs: 24 points & 14 rebounds vs Saddle River Day, 14 points & 9 rebounds vs Legacy Early College (SC), 11 points & 10 rebounds vs Shabach Christian (MD), 12 points & 13 rebounds vs Desert Vista (AZ), 24 points & 17 rebounds vs University, 14 points & 12 rebounds vs St. John Vianney, etc. Nila has decimated opponents in the paint and torched them from deep as well. She is, without question, one of the best two-way players in the entire state.
Addison Nyemchek Addison Nyemchek 6'1" | CG Red Bank Catholic | 2026 State NJ | Red Bank Catholic
Not only is she one of the best sophomores in the state, but she’s quickly become one of the best players regardless of Class. Red Bank Catholic played a juggernaut of a schedule and Addy proved to be a bonafide star! She has averaged 15.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 3.3 apg, 1.2 bpg & 2.9 spg while taking on nationally ranked teams from near and far. Highlights include: 17 points & 10 rebounds vs Dr. Phillips (FL) in her season debut, 12 points & 8 rebounds vs Scranton Prep (PA), 15 points, 6 rebounds & 4 steals vs Westtown (PA), 11 points, 7 rebounds & 5 steals vs Morris Catholic, 14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists & 4 steals vs LuHi (NY), 15 points & 11 rebounds vs Rutgers Prep and a season-high 23 points against Life Center. Addy leads a stacked RBC squad in every statistical category across the board and is a menacing presence on both ends of the court.
