2022 Under the Radar Forwards Set for Big AAU Seasons

<p>The upcoming AAU seasons are big for the 2022 class as coaches will be able to fully see what these players are capable of. The forward group is in for a big AAU season, especially for the ones flying under the radar. Here are the 2022 under the forwards set for big AAU seasons.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1013052" first="Logan" last="Howland"], 6’7 PF Westfield</strong></p> <p>Howland’s collegiate future may lie in the gridiron, but he has the potential to play hoops at the next level too. The 6’7 forward has a strong frame and plays with good footwork down low. Howland has a nice touch around the basket and can knock down mid-range jumpers. He snatches rebounds on both ends of the floor and is always talking on the defensive end. Howland is set to be a feature guy for Unity Legends down low, which should help his stock going into his senior year.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="901963" first="Justin" last="Hawkins"], 6’7 SF Life Center Academy</strong></p> <p>His teammate <strong>Landon Shivers</strong> was an option for this list, but Hawkins has a chance to burst onto the scene in the UAA for WeR1. The 6’7 small forward attacks the basket hard and is unafraid of drawing contact. Hawkins is quite comfortable handling the ball on the perimeter and makes crisp passes. He can also knock jumpers from distance and is a strong rebounder. Hawkins’ ability to be a point forward will help his game tremendously as he goes against big-time competition this spring and summer.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900352" first="Mark" last="Woolhouse"], 6’9 PF Pennington</strong></p> <p>Woolhouse has been flying under the radar for the past couple of years, but has the opportunity to truly make his mark this AAU season. The 6’9 forward is comfortable playing on the perimeter and his range extends past the three-point line. Woolhouse has an underrated handle and can finish around the basket. He uses his length to swat shots around the basket and is a solid rebounder. Woolhouse is a stretch four prospect who should help the NJ Panthers on the HGSL this spring and summer seasons.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1013050" first="Andrew" last="Ball"], 6’8 SF Shawnee</strong></p> <p>Ball is on the cusp of breaking out and it should happen playing on the UAA for Philly Pride. The 6’8 forward has a sweet shooting stroke and uses his size to shoot over smaller defenders. Ball is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. His length allows him to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Ball picked up an offer from Bucknell in March and his offer sheet should grow as the AAU season progresses.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1013041" first="David" last="Luberoff"], 6’8 PF Midland Park</strong></p> <p>Luberoff had a strong summer last year and it should continue this season for the NJ Beasts. The 6’8 forward has a nice touch around the basket and can finish through contact. Luberoff has a nice release on his jumper and his range extends past the three-point line. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and is one of the top shot-blockers in the class. Luberoff has the chance to emerge during the AAU season as schools get to see his ability to be a stretch four.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="901949" first="Justin" last="Soranno"], 6’6 SF Central Regional</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900305" first="Philip" last="Urban"], 6’6 SF Pennington</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="901948" first="Wyatt" last="Hasselbauer"], 6’7 PF Manchester Township</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1083343" first="Omarion" last="McNeal"], 6’6 PF Wildwood</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1027932" first="Scott" last="Gyimesi"], 6’6 SF/PF Rumson Fair-Haven</strong></p>
