His aggressiveness and motor could go up another notch. Keein ended the showcase with 9 points and 7 rebounds. If he lands in the right system, he could end up being a steal. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Davonte-Dennis-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-1157866 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Davonte-Dennis-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Davonte-Dennis-rotated.jpg">Davonte Dennis-C-2021-Red Lion High School</a></strong></p> <p>Davonte is a 6’6 two sport athlete (basketball and football). He is currently a mid D1 prospect in football. On the basketball court, you can see he athleticism and physique. If he continues to pursue basketball, he will need to be more aggressive on both sides of the ball.    </p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/knowledge.jpg">Nahleige Thompson-C-2021-Harrisburg High School</a></strong></p> <p>Nahleige is somewhat smaller for his position at 6’4, but he will play with energy and toughness. He is a coachable student athlete, and with the right structure, he can contribute on the D3 level. He hangs around in the paint and will do a lot of the dirty work for a team. He ended the showcase with 10 points and 9 rebounds.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Sam-sherry-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-1157871 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Sam-sherry-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Sam-sherry-rotated.jpg">[player_tooltip player_id="990945" first="Sam" last="Sherry"]-C-2021-Cumberland Valley High School </a></strong></p> <p>Sam is a 6’8 shooting center. He has pretty good skills and can contribute at all three levels (D1-D2-D3). If he continues to work hard on his strength and ball handling, we may see him in the pros shortly. He ended the showcase with 16 points and 7 rebounds. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/tyree-morris-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1157872 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/tyree-morris-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/tyree-morris-rotated.jpg">Tyree Morris- C-2021-Mechanicsburg High School</a></strong></p> <p>Tyree is another 6’7 two sport athlete (football and basketball). He has already received multiple mid D1 offers in football as a tight end. On the basketball court, he is a rebounding machine. He would be a solid D2 player. </p>
