<p>Onyenwere brings the no nonsense skillset just about every collegiate program can utilize. At roughly 6'6, Onyenwere brings a bruising frame that can be put to use as a rebounder or with dirty work such as loose balls. What the forward brings alongside effort is playmaking off the bounce, where he is capable getting downhill quickly off a couple dribble moves. Once at the rim, Onyenwere is more than capable drawing fouls with either hand. The forward is dependable as a free throw shooter too, contributing 76% of his 45 free throws last season. Another very intriguing aspect comes from his passing vision under pressure, where his size attracts so much attention. Coming off double teams, Onyenwere is tough to run off the line and is even trickier to take down when utilizing the pivot foot. Defensively, the senior forward shines as a swiss army knife that can match up with all five positions, thanks to his low center of gravity. The power forward currently sits 27th in the state and 9th overall for his position.</p>

<p>Standing roughly 6'5, Fletcher brings high IQ playmaking and steadily progressing versatility as a shooter. The incoming junior will have a big season ahead, likely running the point guard position at Littleton after being labeled as a power forward through his first two seasons. One area Fletcher has steadily improved at has been the ballhandling in traffic. While he is already confident operating as a facilitator out of the mid-post, Fletcher is gaining confidence scoring from the perimeter. Another key area stems from his rebounding on both ends, although not a bouncy athlete, Fletcher stays poised getting to his spots. Fletcher currently sits at 32nd overall and 7th among power forwards in the 2024 class.</p>

<p>Aldana brings a dependable brand of basketball as a complementary scoring threat and multipositional defender. Standing roughly 6'4, Aldana can match up 2 through 4, given that he has played the center at Frederick. Aldana is capable hitting threes off the catch, notably when given some space to set his feet. When given a driving lane, Aldana is steady getting to rim and initiating contact versus size.</p>

<p>Hill is a very intriguing wing at 6'5, given his composure under pressure and dependable ballhandling. The incoming senior is potent driving through the lane, given his long strides and above average positional reach. With his archetype, Hill may be deployed as a multipositional defender that can match up 2 through 4 within the state. At his size, Hill is more than capable dunking off two or one foot. Arguably the most intriguing aspect of Hill's game stems from his shooting potential. He flashed pull-up shooting in transition and within the halfcourt, where he is best stepping into shots. Although Hill is currently unranked in the 2023 class, I see no reason he is not on he board come next rankings update.</p>
