NJ Gray Commits to Loyola Chicago
Loyola Chicago has landed a commitment from 6’2” three-star 2027 point guard NJ Gray of Salesian College Prep (CA).
Gray can provide offense while also getting others involved. He can knock down shots from the perimeter, get into the paint and make the right play with the ball in his hands.
He plays with confidence and does a good job controlling the game from the point guard position. Gray also brings a competitive approach on the defensive end and can put pressure on opposing guards.
Gray gives Loyola Chicago a point guard who can score, get others involved and defend. He is a good addition to the Ramblers’ 2027 class.

🚨 FINAL | 17U Final Four | adidas 3SSB Palmetto Road Championship
No. 8 Midwest Basketball Club upset No. 9 Team Lillard, 69-68, in an overtime classic to advance to the 17U championship game. After overcoming a 12-point deficit, Midwest relied on elite ball security and perimeter shooting to complete the comeback. Midwest committed just one turnover, knocked down 11 three-pointers, and shot 44.0% from beyond the arc, maximizing every possession in a game decided by a single point.
The contest featured seven lead changes, with Team Lillard responding behind the playmaking of Nathalio Gray Jr. and the shooting of Elijah Stanley.
