Prospect Spotlight: Colin O’Rourke (2020)
Plainfield North 2020 6’6” forward Colin O’Rourke is at his best working from mid-range where his jumper is a major threat. Plus shooter from 15 to 18 feet that can also put the ball on the deck. Skilled forward that had a strong showing with Breakaway 16U during the July live period.
The biggest moment for him and his team was taking down D1 Minnesota who was one of the top 16U squads in the nation.
“It is crazy! They are a good team and it was great to beat them. I knew we could do it. We had to stick together in the end.”
How did he think he played during the summer?
“I think I am playing pretty well. I am a big part of this team being a leader. I have to keep the team together.”
O’Rourke spoke about the strengths in his game.
“I am a good mid-range shooter that can pop out to three sometimes. I am a pretty good rebounder and defensively I am smart.”
