After attending Grand River Collegiate Institute and Preston High School, he went to Southwest Academy Prep in London. Later, he moved to The Phelps School in Malvern, Pennsylvania and completed the final two years of his high school there. He was ranked No. 9 overall by 247Sports, No. 10 by On3, and No. 11 by Rivals in the Class of 2025.&nbsp;<\/p><p>A top-ranked Canadian prospect in the 2025 NBA Drafts, Riley was selected Offensive MVP of the EYBL Indy Sessions while he was playing for UPlay Canada.
