Recruiting Report: Caleb Strohmeier (2018)

<p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Edwardsville 6’6” small forward <strong>Caleb Strohmeier</strong> impresses with his combination of length and strength on both ends of the floor.  He handles it well for a wing and looks very crisp in everything he does on the court.  The sophomore has a quality skill level with his ability to both handle it and stretch the floor with a jumper.  Also displays nice bounce around the hoop where he fights hard on the glass and finishes strong.  If he keeps growing could develop into a stretch four, but already is worth being on the college radar with his physical tools and game.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The sophomore spoke about how he would describe his game.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“I like to attack the rim, but I can knock down the open shot on the perimeter.  I see myself as a stretch three.  I can go inside, but also knock down shots from the outside too.”</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">He was a key part of a Jets-Ramey 15U squad that was dominant over the summer.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“It went good.  We ended up #1 in the nation.  I think it helped me improve individually as a player.”</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Where did he see his game develop the most this summer?</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“Definitely ball handling was a big area I tried to improve on.  My shot too.  Knocking down open threes.”</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">He chatted about the preparation for the high school season and what his role will be on the team.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“It is going good.  I really like my teammates.  They try to find me.  I really like playing with them.  We are going to be tough this year.  AJ Epenesa, Mark Smith, and Oliver Stephen are three great players.  I feel like as well as they did last year the coaches we play against are smart and they are going to be looking towards them.  I am going to hopefully be the open guy and knock down some shots for our team.”</span></span></p>
