He visited each of his finalists besides Tennessee and Virginia.

Mandaquit is the nation’s No. 50 overall prospect, No. 6 point guard and No. 3 recruit from Utah in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Mandaquit Scouting Report

“JJ Mandaquit is a high IQ point guard. He is very cerebral, and he reads the game at an advanced level. The ball is on a strong, and he manipulates angles very well, creating both space and opportunity. While he is an average athlete, he gives good effort on the defensive end. Mandaquit has an array of paint finishes, with floaters and runners. Size may be a question; he plays with a great pace and attacks with great balance. Originally from Hawaii, he is young for his grade, and will not turn 18 until May of his senior year.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw

More on Mandaquit from Shaw:

 “JJ Mandaquit started every game for the U17 USA Basketball team this summer en route to earning his second FIBA gold medal. Mandaquit’s 6.1 assists per game finished second overall – behind teammate Cayden Boozer – in the entire event. Mandaquit is excellent in the pick and roll, showing capable of delivering passes with either hand as he reads the movement of the defense. He has excellent touch on his passes and is equally adept at delivering in the full or half-court.”
