Rockets adding top recruits Tony Cornett, Bryce Curry and Tref Rademaker
TOLEDO, Ohio – Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk announced the addition of Tony Cornett (Westerville, Ohio), Bryce Curry (West Chester, Ohio), and Tref Rademaker (De Pere, Wis.) to the Toledo men's basketball program. The trio officially committed to the University of Toledo on National Signing Day and will join the Rockets on campus prior to the start of the 2027-28 academic year.
"We're extremely excited to welcome Tony, Bryce, and Tref to the Rocket Basketball family," said Kowalczyk. "We couldn't be happier with having all three of them join us to continue the success we've had."
Cornett, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound guard, is ranked as the No. 9 player in Ohio by 247Sports and helped Westerville North High School to a Division II state title and a 25-2 overall record as a sophomore. He earned Division II All-Ohio Third Team honors as well as first-team all-conference and all-district accolades last year after averaging 16.0 ppg.
"Tony Cornett just oozes with potential and is a taller wing," said Kowalczyk. "He has great versatility at both ends of the floor. I'm really excited about his length and his shooting ability. Those are the types of things that separate guys in this day and age."
A 6-foot-4, 180-pound guard, Curry is ranked as the No. 10 player in Ohio by 247Sports at Lakota West High School. He was selected to the Associated Press Division I All-Ohio First Team, First-Team All-Southwest District and First-Team All-Greater Miami Conference as a junior after averaging 13.1 ppg, 4.0 rpg and 2.1 apg.
"Bryce Curry is a tall scoring guard who can shoot it and put the ball on the floor," said Kowalczyk. "He possesses great length and toughness and could develop into an elite defender on our level. He has a huge upside."
Rademaker, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound center, is ranked as the No. 5 high-school recruit in Wisconsin and No. 33 among centers nationally by 247Sports. He averaged 16.3 ppg, 8.7 rpg, and 1.4 apg in 50 high school games and has earned first-team and second-team all-conference honors.
"Tref Rademaker is an old-school, old-fashioned, physical post player who has really good skills," said Kowalczyk. "He steps out and shoots threes. I like lefty post guys, and he has a great knowledge and feel for the game. He plays one pass ahead a lot and has the potential to be a very good player."
