Baron Goodridge-PG-Cardinal Hayes HS

Baron Goodridge, New Heights, 2016 5-foot-9 point guard - Small but attentive, Goodridge will have the advantage of working in practice with, and against, Shavar Newkirk at Cardinal Hayes (NY) in order to prepare for a bigger role during his sophomore year and going forward. A drive and kick, drive and dribble type of player, Goodridge is unselfish and prefers finding an open teammate as opposed to scoring it, himself. If need be, he will get to the rim, or shoot the ball. He has the right mentality, and an ideal skill set, so all that holds him back for now is his size. Iona and St. John's are recruiting the rising sophomore early. He hopes to work on becoming more explosive in order to become a better finisher at the rim.

“@TheRecruitScoop: Here's my recap of the top performers from this weekend's Rumble in the Bronx - http://recruitscoop.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1514162”

"NYC did take home 1 title this weekend as the New Heights 15's backed up their Super 16 Showcase title with the Rumble championship, easily taking down Sports U 15's in the title game, 69-45.

Most expected a close hard fought game, and while it was certainly hard fouled at least with 32 fouls called in the 1st half alone, New Heights truly dominated from start to finish. 15u MVP Baron Goodridge (Cardinal Hayes '16) led all scorers with 18 points, but more than his scoring, it was his ability to control the game with his smarts and understanding of the game that really stood out. He took the ball and finished with a couple scoop lay in around screens that really showed off his quick first step, and his finishing abilities." - See more at: http://nychoops.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1513952#sthash.ZGPcHiCg.dpuf

Nice to see us on him early. 

Now he staff has the luxury on getting the local kids early and seeing who develops.
