OHSBCA Showcase: Northwest Ohio Report

<p>The OHSBCA Showcase brought together a ton of college basketball coaches and 100 Ohio prospects under one roof. Through a series of competitive drills and a five games, kids were afforded the opportunity to make an impression on the coaches. </p> <p>From a scouting perspective, here are the players from Northwest Ohio who won the day:</p> <h4 style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Top 5-on-5 Performance</strong></em></h4> <h6 class="p2"><strong>Mitch Raifsnider (2021) | 6-8 PF | Margaretta / Ohio Buckets</strong></h6> <p class="p2">Raifsnider is a pick-and-pop big with athleticism and a strong body. Active on the boards and a skilled finisher inside. He also made plays on the defensive end away from the basket or in the paint — blocked shots all over the court and tipped some passes. Not surprised that Ashland offered early on this kid.</p> <h4 style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>5-on-5 Standouts</strong></em></h4> <h6 class="p1"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;"><a style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://prephoops.com/player/kalen-etzler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kalen Etzler</a></span> (2021) | 6-8 PF | Convoy Crestview / All Ohio Red</strong></h6> <p class="p1">Etzler combines athleticism around the rim with a smooth outside scoring package. Communicated with teammates. Defends multiple positions and his length is a huge asset when he matches up on the perimeter.</p> <h6 class="p1"><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/josiah-fulcher/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Josiah Fulcher</span></a> (2020) | 6-2 SG | Lima Senior / C2K Elite</strong></h6> <p class="p1">Throughout the day, Fulcher nailed outside jumpers off the dribble or from a stand-still. His length and athleticism allow him to defend and finish in traffic at a Division I level. Rips through for straight-line-drives. Plus rebounder who likes to push off the defensive glass.</p> <h6 class="p1"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;"><a style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://prephoops.com/player/hayden-stone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hayden Stone</a></span> (2020) | 6-8 C | Carey / Nova</strong></h6> <p class="p1">Stone’s activity and size was an asset for his group. Went after rebounds and deflected a few passes with his length. Once again showed passing ability with his back to the basket. Displayed footwork inside to go with his strong body — prototypical Midwest post traits. </p>
