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.

I think the freshman and sophomore classes have some ballers too.  Keep this freight train rolling.

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.
