Ryan McCoy, a 6-foot-6, 180-pound forward from Montgomery High School in the state of New Jersey, is a player worth watching over the next couple of seasons due to his size and skill level.
We got a sampling of his ability by watching him compete this summer for Matt Pauls' Team NJABC AAU basketball program. He showed us the ability to knock down long-range jumpers.
Some areas to improve: Consistency with defenders in range on his jumper and getting some more strength into his frame.
He already has offers from The Citadel and Iona, according Pauls.
In addition, Ryan has interest from Fordham, Boston University, Siena, and Fairfield.
