Long, two-way guard with high-major upside, but still a projection
Ruff is a 6-foot-5 California guard who arrived with four-star pedigree and a reputation as a versatile scorer and defender, not just a stat-chaser; Cal listed him as a 2025-26 redshirt, so his current on-court sample is limited. Recruiting evaluations praised his size, fluid movement, off-ball instincts, cutting, and ability to guard top perimeter threats, while also noting his jumper needs refinement. He’s intriguing if you want a high-upside combo guard with length, toughness, and room to grow.
