Scout Report
When you're ranked #211 nationally but already locked up ten D1 offers, something special is brewing in your film room sessions.
Background
The Boston native landed at CATS Academy, where he's surrounded by elite talent that would make most prep programs jealous. Playing alongside Nebraska-bound Leo Curtis and Providence commit Jaylen Harrell gives Bellot Jr. a daily education in high-level basketball. That kind of competitive environment at CATS has been crucial for his development.
Playing Style
At 6-3, Bellot Jr. brings legitimate size to the shooting guard spot with the versatility to create his own shot. He's got a smooth stroke from deep and shows good court awareness when running off screens or attacking closeouts. The frame is there to defend multiple positions, though he'll need to add strength to handle physical guards at the next level. His decision-making in traffic needs refinement, but the basketball IQ flashes are encouraging for a 2026 prospect.
Recruitment
Fordham beat out nine other D1 programs to secure his commitment, which tells you plenty about his upside potential. The Rams got themselves a player who could develop into a reliable scorer in the A-10. With solid development, he projects as a multi-year contributor who could emerge as a primary option by his junior season.
