3-Pack: 2021 Forwards To Watch

<p>The change in the recruiting cycle is going to be a big change for everyone. Right as we thought we were going to be getting out on the road, we get shut down. So, in order to spend as much effort as we can in getting players seen, we are going to do what we call, 3-Packs. </p> <p>With these, we want to highlight 3 players who are similar in class and position. Get some time to dive into some quick thoughts, stat breakdowns, and film. Today, we are looking at 2021 Forwards in [player_tooltip player_id="783233" first="Jack" last="Futa"], <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="874147" first="Miles" last="McGowen"]</strong>, and [player_tooltip player_id="874136" first="Styles" last="McCorkle"]. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/9472982/5e8375315798520a383d14d9" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p><strong> [player_tooltip player_id="783233" first="Jack" last="Futa"] – 6’5 SF 2021 – South Bend St. Joseph (IN)</strong><br /> <strong>Stats</strong>: N/A<br /> <strong>Thoughts</strong>: Futa is a big wing with a strong frame. Runs the floor really well and is good at getting to his spot. Likes to set up around the wing spot and either shoot it from there or drive. With his size, he can create some mismatches. Has some real nice patience with the ball as he does not force anything wild. His size and power make him an excellent defender that can guard multiple positions. Futa is a solid prospect to keep an eye on this next year. Smart player that can play either the 2 or the 3.                                      </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P-zqIf5DhO0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p><strong> [player_tooltip player_id="874147" first="Miles" last="McGowen"] – 6’5 PF 2021 – Mooresville (IN)</strong><br /> <strong>Stats</strong>: 13.4 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 2.0 apg <br /> <strong>Thoughts</strong>: McGowen is a tall forward that can really space the floor. He's really mobile and able to play all over the floor. He is more of a stretch power forward who can make defenders pay either around the post or further out. Has shown improvement with his strength over the past few years. Also has improved his ball handling skills as well, which is huge for his development. Would not be surprised to see his rebounding numbers get up to double digits. McGowen is a solid player that has consistently improved over the years.                         </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RFDgC5exmYo" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="874136" first="Styles" last="McCorkle"] – 6’4 SF 2021 – Greenwood Christian (IN)</strong><br /> <strong>Stats</strong>: 12.0 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 3.0 apg  <br /> <strong>Thoughts</strong>: McCorkle is a tall forward that can really play the 3 or the 4. Mostly, he likes to be a perimeter shooter but he’s shown some signs of taking some drives at the rim. He's got good footwork and can really get some separation at times. Really good at beating everybody down the floor. Would like to see what he could do in the halfcourt around the rim some more. Plays really hard and looks to leave it all on the floor. Lot of potential in McCorkle that is just determined to breakout.  </p>
