Peoria Manual

Outlook:

Coach Jordan’s group is looking to lean on their depth and experience to take a step up from last year. 6-foot-7 senior point guard Dietrich Richardson, who just committed to Bradley yesterday, is one of the premier players in the state. He’s a legitimate triple-double threat who has the playmaking and scoring ability to take over games down the stretch. DJ Finley and Terrance Page are also back in the starting lineup for Manual along with senior Cadan Latta, and Amari Breedlove who are expected to take on larger roles. There is a chance that freshman Rico Booker-Coleman makes an impact this year as well. There is optimism with the junior class as well for a group who should challenge to be one of the top 2A teams in the state.

Key Players:

Dietrich Richardson

DJ Finley

Terrance Page

Reggie Postlewaite

Josh Humbles

Tony Bradford

Caden Latta

Jaquan Brown

Rico Booker-Coleman

Prospect For College Coaches To Keep An Eye On:

Dietrich Richardson (6’7 PG, 2025) – Bradley Commit

Richardson committed to Bradley yesterday in a huge recruiting moment for the Braves. The athletic, talented lead guard is a multi-faceted threat who is a smooth ball-handler, good pull-up shooter, and a disruptive defender. As he continues to fill out physically, he could be even more of a force at the college level. Richardson has legitimate potential to be a pro down the line.
