Aidan is a fierce, fast-paced combo guard who plays with a high motor, discipline, and relentless energy. He’s a lockdown defender who takes pride in making stops, picking up full court, and taking away the other team’s rhythm. On offense, Aidan is a three-level scorer who brings a mix of poise and explosiveness, reading defenses and creating shots for others. He attacks with purpose and plays with edge, always under control but never passive. He sets the tone on both ends with his quick decision-making, mature reads, and defensive grit, Aidan changes the flow of a game by doing everything that winning demands.

On May 16th at the P32 Live event, Aidan dropped 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists against Texas Summitt. He followed that up the very next day by posting another 20 points, this time adding 5 rebounds and 3 assists against Hoop City. These back-to-back performances weren’t just solid, they were loud statements that he belongs on the national radar. His consistent scoring and playmaking were recognized as he earned 16U First Team All-Circuit honors at the New Balance P32 Dallas stop. His biggest improvement came in shot selection and finishing through contact, using better angles, body control, and smarter decision-making around the rim. He’s also grown confident in reading defenses and making quick plays under pressure. This summer, his focus has been on strength training and off-ball movement, adding new levels to an already complete game.

Being one of just two underclassmen on The Winchendon School’s NEPSAC AA roster gave Aidan the validation that he can compete at a high level. Now, he’s focused on elevating his role there, helping lead the team toward a championship, and growing into a trusted leader and playmaker. On the AAU side, he’s back with Team NSSA on the New Balance P32 circuit and is all-in on helping them win top-tier games at major events. His goals for the summer are to build stronger relationships with college programs and take full advantage of every live period opportunity, especially at the upcoming New Balance Finals.

What fuels his fire the most are those big defensive stops, moments that shift momentum and fire up his team. He lives for pressure and performs best when the lights are brightest. When facing adversity, he stays calm, trusts his preparation, and locks back into the work. The best advice he has ever received is, “Your identity is not in your performance. It’s in your preparation, your mindset, and your ability to stay consistent through the highs and lows.” That message echoes through his effort, attitude, and focus every time he hits the floor.

Off the court, Aidan enjoys music production, spending time with family, and giving back through community service. He’s coachable, a quick learner, and known for doing the little things that don’t show up in the box score but always show up in the win column.

I assess that Aidan’s two-way motor, leadership qualities, and ability to impact the game at every level make him a trusted, high-value guard. Coaches know they’re getting someone who plays to win, not just to score, and does the intangibles every time out.

As Aidan continues building muscle and improving his off-ball movement and playmaking, expect him to rise. With national attention already rolling in, he’s poised to become a name to watch and a guard colleges will want in their locker room. Stay tuned for breakout season ahead.
