Top Uncommitted New Jersey 2027s on Coaches' Radars

With many players from the 2027 class having already verbally committed to their respective schools, let's take a look at six players from each position group that have yet to make their decision.   Each of these players have the skills and ability that seem like they would translate well at the next level, so let's dive deeper into each...    Scarpa stands out from the rest due to his size and speed that he shows. He does a great job of dodging with purpose and works hard to find a high percentage look for himself or a teammate. Out of his dodges, he displays a quick first step to create separation and and a smooth change of direction to evade pressure. The Tri-State product uses his body well to feel out defenders and can either roll off his opponent or bully his way inside for a quality look. He acts as a facilitator with his dodging ability and creativity, but also plays smart off-ball, finding soft spots in the defense and finishes with a quick release and accuracy whether from distance or on the doorstep. I think Scarpa's size will help him transition from the high school to the college level as well as his speed and high IQ.     Rothman is a lengthy defender with the versatility to play on the wing or close defense and can have a positive impact at either position. He plays smart and fast, using his athleticism to press out on opponents and when his matchup gets a step on him, he displays good make-up speed to get back into the play. When defending on-ball, the Seton Hall Prep product is a pest and times his checks well to disrupt the offense with good lateral quickness and strength deter opponents from dodging. Rothman throw hard checks, while staying on the gloves and when there is a loose ball, he has a knack for finding it and creating transition opportunities. He handles the ball with confidence and shows off his stick skills when evading pressure or drawing a slide on the fast break. Recognized as one of the top recruits in his class, I would think he would be making his decision in the near future.     Gerne is a fun player to watch with his elusiveness and high lacrosse IQ with and without the ball. When setting up a dodge he is dangerous with the ability to beat you with both hands and uses his speed and quick change of direction to get a step on his defender for a quality chance. He utilizes the spin dodge and face dodge to deceive his defenders and has shown a quick release on his shot to catch the goalie off-guard or when in tight. When shooting, he displays a powerful shot from distance with good accuracy and the ability to change planes on goalies, but also sees the field well and can zip a skip pass to the backside for a good chance. He is a tough player and his creativity and awareness on the field should help him develop moving forward and onto the next level.     Bishai is regarded as one of the best prospects in his class due to his quick hands and reaction time on the whistle, with a quick pinch and pop ability to kickstart offensive chances for his squad. He has showcased the ability to win the face-off in any direction and often doesn't need the help of his wing players, with fantastic individual effort and a motor that seems to never stop whether in a ground ball scrum or on the break. The Lawrenceville product is a bit taller than most FOGOs, but he uses that length to outstretch his opponents for ground balls and has big strides when running to create separation. He is a smart player and doesn't force shots or tight passes that could lead to trouble. Considering he is one of the best at his position still uncommitted, I would imagine that will change soon enough.     Having seen Henson play for BBL over the summer, it is no secret why he is so highly regarded. He never stops moving his feet and communicating on the defensive end and has the speed and agility to match feet with many of his opponents. Playing on the wing, he thrusts himself into ground balls scrums regularly and causes chaos in the process for his opponents. He times the whistle well and flies around the field, while also displaying a good ability to handle the ball and escape pressure to avoid turnovers. The Delbarton product plays good positional defense and doesn't throw unnecessary checks to give his matchups a step on him, rather he stays on the gloves and pesters his opponents to pass it off. He is a workhorse for his teams and always shows hustle either to loose balls or running out a shot on the end line. His work ethic and determination will help him grow and get ready for the next level when that time comes.     Canton is a great communicator to his teammates on the defensive end and shows the ability to match his opponents stick in tight for big momentum shifts. He displays great core fundamentals as a goaltender and does a good job of using his body to deflect shots when slightly out of position or for an acrobatic save. The Moorestown, NJ native plays tough between the pipes with quick hands and steps to the ball with conviction. He is athletic and moves well laterally with good awareness and vision on the shots. After a save, he is quick to get the ball up and out for a transition chance with crispy passes and also stays patient if nothing is there and doesn't get rattled easily with pressure applied. Considered one of the best goaltenders still uncommitted, I could see that changing soon.
