New Jersey Recruiting Update: June

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We haven't done one of these recruiting updates in quite a bit in New Jersey, but now is the perfect time to get caught up with what has been going on in June. Plenty of players have gotten some looks and we've seen not just offers, but a few commitments as well. Here's the latest when it comes to college recruiting in the Garden State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='601413' first='Jahzara' last='Green'] - Gloucester Catholic (2026) offered by UPenn, Princeton</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most electric talents in the Class of 2026 and certainly in South Jersey in general, [player_tooltip player_id='601413' first='Jahzara' last='Green'] has gotten plenty of attention from Division I programs, and she can now add a pair of Ivy League schools to the mix. UPenn and Princeton have recently given the frontcourt phenom offers, well-deserved on her part as she's really come into her own as a threat down low for the Rams over the past two seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414394' first='Alivia' last='Mauz'] - Williamstown (2025) offered by Goldey-Beacom</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was plenty of South Jersey representation when it comes to offers in recent weeks, including Williamstown rising senior [player_tooltip player_id='414394' first='Alivia' last='Mauz']. Talk about a complete guard, one of the best all-around players in the Class of 2025, Mauz earned an offer from Goldey-Beacom. Her shooting alone is reason to consider her for a college program, and that offense entered a new gear last season, as did her perimeter defense overall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='559042' first='London' last='Caldwell'] - Montclair Immaculate (2026) offered by Holy Cross</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caldwell is still very much finding her place on Montclair Immaculate, far from a diss for this up-and-coming guard. We know where she can flourish and how she can do so. If anything, it looks like that will come from inside the perimeter. She's a downhill player, aggressive with the ball as she tries to drive into the lane to make things happen. Really bright future and a high ceiling to improve and succeed with the Lions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ava Lamonica - Rutgers Prep (2026) offered by Le Moyne</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The interior game has worked incredibly well for Lamonica as she's found her niche within the construct of Rutgers Prep's roster. Quick and shifty, she finds ways to get to the line early and often, but can simply just blow by defenders as well, if not better. Very impressive all-around offensive package which she's shown off, and it's helped her land a Division I offer from Le Moyne in recent days.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='559028' first='GiGi' last='Battle'] - Rutgers Prep (2026) re-offered by Miami (FL)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've talked plenty about Battle before and will continue to do so upcoming because she's one of the best players in the state and in the Class of 2026 for a reason. Incredible talent, great feel for the game and a college-ready package to offer. Mature beyond her years and a knack for being able to do it all in whatever situation necessary. Recently re-offered by ACC power Miami, one of many Division I offers for her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='890871' first='Katherine' last='Lange'] - Gloucester Catholic (2026) offered by Goldey-Beacom</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A teammate of Green and someone who's found a way to make a name for herself in her first two seasons, Lange unfortunately got injured at the start of the 2023-24 season, an unfortunate blow to start the year. However, she's gotten healthy and is now playing AAU ball, a great three-point shot and an overall strong shooter. Lange is one of a few in this update to have been offered by Goldey-Beacom.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414352' first='Talia' last='Battavio'] - Woodstown (2025) commits to Goldey-Beacom</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As several players were recently offered by Goldey-Beacom, Woodstown rising senior [player_tooltip player_id='414352' first='Talia' last='Battavio'] ended up committing to the program earlier this month. Very excited to see her play at the next level and she's deserved all of it and then some. Truly one of the better offensive players in the entire state in the Class of 2025, not to mention a massively improved facilitator on the floor, something we didn't see from her until last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414293' first='Jaida' last='Guerra'] - Union City (2025) commits to Bryant</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our second and last commit from this latest recruiting cycle is [player_tooltip player_id='414293' first='Jaida' last='Guerra'], again an incredibly talented and well-deserving player who is heading to the next level, that being Division I program Bryant. It's hard not to get caught up in that perimeter shooting because it has been so great, but she's just a leader. She's a playmaker, she's a show-stopping talent, a great defender, strong piece at the top of the key and incredible teammate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
