Most Intriguing Prospects: Huntley vs McHenry

<p>Wednesday night Huntley hosted McHenry.  It was Huntley jumping out big in the first half behind their trapping defense and star senior combo of Uchenna Egekeze and Ryan Sroka.  Huntley would cruise to a win with neither teams starters playing much in the fourth quarter.  Here are our <strong>Most Intriguing Prospects: Huntley vs McHenry</strong>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Uchenna Egekeze (Huntley – 2020)</strong></p> <p>This 6’3” long armed and rangy shooting guard is one of the better perimeter defenders in the 2020 class.  The unsigned senior is a force defensively with his active hands and anticipating passing lanes for steals.  He recorded a handful of steals in this game as he always does often taking them the other way for scores.  Hit a wing three early in the game letting it fly with confidence and got a bucket on a post-up.  His forte is his defense, transition scoring, and rebounding from the guard spot.  Went for 13 points.  D2 programs need to be paying close attention here!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ryan Sroka (Huntley – 2020)</strong></p> <p>Sroka is a 6’5” wing that presents quality size and a strong frame on the wing.  He has great shot preparation being ready to shoot it before the ball even hits his hands.  Crisp three point stroke as he knocked down a pair of them in this game.  Also mixed in a straight line take with a left hand finish and a baseline take for a layup displaying he can put it on the deck some.  Decent wing defender that competes on that end.  He had 14 points.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ryan Crosby (Huntley – 2020)</strong></p> <p>Crosby is a smaller point guard at only 5’9”.  He pushes in the open floor and threw several nice entry passes to his big men.  Also hit a three for 5 points.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Luke DiFrancesca (Huntley – 2020)</strong></p> <p>This 6’6” 230 pound big man was a fun player to watch.  He has a thicker build and soft touch around the hoop.  Very efficient with his touches on the block.  Hook shots, pick/roll finishes, and ran the floor for a bucket en route to 10 points.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Brett Loeding (McHenry – 2020)</strong></p> <p>The biggest bright spot for McHenry was this 5’11” senior point guard.  Crafty scorer in the lane that made layups and floaters.  Also got to the foul line at a high rate where he shot it well.  Hit a corner three early in the game.  The clear leader for this squad.  He had 15 points.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Anthony Fowler &amp; Kyle Kaempf (McHenry – 2022)</strong></p> <p>McHenry is struggling right now, but they do have some hope for their future with this wing duo.  Each one of them knocked in a pair of threes for their 6 points looking comfortable spotting up from beyond the arc.</p>
