Per New Jersey Central Sports 5 minute radio interview M.B. speaks like T. Moren and staff coach and players play.  Impressive.

3 would solidify things including another bigger if all involved are on the same page.

PLUS….Parrish and Moore-McNeil come back for 2024-25.

Yes J.L. has positive ENERGETIC ATTITUDE with high athletic ability potential and looks fairly physical for a freshman..  Looking at her though J.L. is taller reminds me a little bit like Van Lith.  Beaumont is going to be a good player as well.  
Bargesser has taken a big physicality step.
