Continue ReadingThe PH Circuit Bash in the Desert is officially over. We saw some high level play and some very exciting games. Throughout the week, our Prep Hoops scouts spent nearly 30 hours each scouting the players at the event. These are my top forwards from the event:
Pete Boyle 6’8 F Titans 17U 2020
Boyle is a very intriguing prospect due to his height and shooting ability. He is a great player to use as a stretch four. He lacks in strength and weight but knows how to use the screen to get himself open. He often pops on screens and gets a solid look from deep, a little bit of room is enough for him to pull it from deep.
Dre Henry 6’8 F PHH Rise 2020
Dre Henry is known more of a below the rim type of player but he demonstrated some athleticism and leaping ability this weekend. He constantly postered players and finished some elite dunks. He also looked very good on defense, being some speed and athleticism to recover and get some highlight worthy blocks.
Osasere Ighodaro 6’10 F PHH Rise 2020
Osasere Ighodaro used his great length to easily block shots. Most of his blocks came from him not even leaving the ground. Most of those blocks came off of closeouts and high hands or just putting a hand up in the low post. His length gives him a huge advantage on defense. He also uses that advantage to create shots for himself, either near the rim or a jumper from mid.
LJ Glover 6’9 F Coastal Elite 2021
This kid is a great prospect. He has tremendous size for a 2021. He didn’t play super well in their last game of the day but he had been putting in work all weekend long. LJ Glover is an absolute animal on the boards and does not waste any time going straight back up with it or working the ball in the low post.
Tanner Poeschl 6’6 F The Show 2020
Poeschl showed some really impressive improvement in his game this weekend. He looks much improved from the last time I had seen him play and that is a testament to his dedication to the game and work ethic. He was able to score down low with relative ease and looked really solid defensively, turning away a number of shot attempts.
