Freshman Showcase: Top Forward/Centers

<p>This past weekend was a huge success with the first annual Freshman Showcase for the class of 2019.  As we look back, we breakdown the top forwards and centers from this event.</p><h2>Noah Applegate</h2><div><strong>Height</strong>: 6&#39;6</div> <div><strong>Weight</strong>: 177.8</div> <div><strong>Wingspan</strong>: 6&#39;6</div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Evaluation</strong>:Noah is a big post prospect from Northern Indiana who has a solid build and a versatile game.  He&#39;s really mobile and at this stage he can play out on the perimeter more.  Tough enough to defend taller posts and enough handles to take them off the bounce on the offensive end.  Displayed more of a driving game than anything else.  One of the more advanced in terms of body in the class.</div> <h2>Logan Carter</h2><div><strong>Height</strong>: 6&#39;8</div> <div><strong>Weight</strong>: 308</div> <div><strong>Wingspan</strong>: 6&#39;6</div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Evaluation</strong>:Logan is a very large center prospect who moves a little better than you would think at first glance.  He&#39;ll have to tone his body up over the next four years but he&#39;s a little mechanical in the post, which in his case is a good thing.  He has decent hands and can finish repeatedly with as many touches as you can give him.  As he tones up, he should be able to assert his size as he showed glimpses this weekend.</div> <h2>John-Michael Mulloy</h2><div><strong>Height</strong>: 6&#39;9</div> <div><strong>Weight</strong>: 187</div> <div><strong>Wingspan</strong>: 6&#39;7</div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Evaluation</strong>: John-Michael might have the most upside of any of the bigs in this class.  He&#39;s got the size you covet and a body that will allow him to develop into whatever he wants.  Handles are solid enough to put him on the perimeter where he seems to feel more comfortable right now. Adding in more elements like a jump shot or post move will just add tons of value.  Raw skill set but plenty capable of adding elements.</div> <h2>Cobie Barnes </h2><div><strong>Height</strong>: 6&#39;6</div> <div><strong>Weight</strong>: 191</div> <div><strong>Wingspan</strong>: 6&#39;6</div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Evaluation</strong>: Cobie isn&#39;t the biggest or strongest kid in this class but he&#39;s one of the most aggressive and that proved fruitful this weekend.  He&#39;s got the "get ball, score ball" mentality which puts him in a very small class.  Fits more as a wing forward down the road, he&#39;s able to be tough in the post today whether that is rebounding or driving to the block.  </div> <h2>Tyler Stead</h2><div><strong>Height</strong>: 6&#39;5</div> <div><strong>Weight</strong>: 198</div> <div><strong>Wingspan</strong>: 6&#39;4.5</div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Evaluation</strong>: Stead will have to grow a lot over the next few years but he&#39;s an interesting kid.  With a skill set similar to that of &#39;17 Zach Gunn, Tyler has a big lower half which gains him position in the post when he wants but his bread and butter is perimeter shooting.  He has a repeatable shot from three and looks like a solid stretch-four prospect for the class.</div>
