<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out my analysis on some of the top performers from a LOADED Texas Top 250 Expo! There were some real standout players at this event, and I cannot wait for you to read all of my analysis on some of the top dogs!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1217699' first='Kollin' last='Allbright'] </strong>2024 6'9 San Angelo Central</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6335b4636e107","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217699"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kollin is a dominant force down low, who uses his size, footwork and ball skills to dominate out of the post. I was very impressed by his ability to use limited steps and dribbles to get to where he wanted to go. Allbright has the ability to clean up the glass to generate easy second chance points for his team, scoring with consistency and ease. I loved watching him work down low, bumping defenders out of his way for easy looks. An asepct I love about his game is his ability to not only finish with either hand, but on either side of the rim. He is a very comfortable player down on the block, who throws around his weight to affect the game. Allbright needs to be on your radar college coaches, he has all the tools to walk in and become a very consistent big at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1217850' first='Graham' last='Moore'] </strong>2024 6'6 Hebron High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6335b47b6e108","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217850"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Graham is a skiled forward/ wing prospect who has an ability to affect the game across all three levels of the floor. He is a confident spot up shooter, even with a defender in his face. His long arms allow him to shoot over the top of most of his opponents, confidently rising up and draining shots beyond the arc. He showed an ability to come off of pin downs, and moving without the basketball at a pretty high level. I loved the work he displayed on the block, using his size and post moves to maneuver around his opponent. He knows when to attack the paint versus attack from the outside, if he has a smaller player matched up on him, he is taking him to school down low. If he knows he cannot get to the rim, he calmly steps back and waits for the ball to be swung to him on the perimeter. I loved Moore's smarts and overall basketball IQ that he displayed, with and without the basketball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598892' first='Hunter' last='Fitch'] </strong>2024 6'7 Mexia High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6335b4876e109","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598892"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hunter was one of the most dominant players in attendance for his work on the defensive end, and how he was able to turn defense into offense, but also play the forward role with consistency. He rebounded the ball at a very high level, throwing down multiple emphatic tip dunks and getting easy second chance opportunities just off of his energy and positioning. His consistency in the paint was very impressive, but what stood out to me even more was his comfort with a live dribble, and how well he was able to take other forwards off the bounce and get to the rim. There were multiple instances where he shifted his defender with a simple jab out of the triple threat and then sprinted down the lane and punched it on a help defender. The threat of him scoring and throwing it down on multiple defenders really opens up the floor for him, allowing him to get into his bag and hit step back jumpers. He showed an ability to not only play out of the high post, but create offense with his handle and the attention he draws! Fitch was easily one of the best players in attendance this weekend, I know I will be keeping tabs on his development over the next two years!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598906' first='Kade' last='Ramer'] </strong>2024 6'7 Van Alstyne High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6335b4a16e10a","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598906"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kade was once again consistent in the paint, showing off his consistency down low but more importantly was one of the hardest working prospects on the glass. He also followed up his teammates misses, and went up quick and strong for easy second chance points. He finished well with either hand underneath the rim, confidently going up strong and inviting contact as he finished through it. He loves getting to his bunny hooks and quick turn arounds, and really leaps and uses his length to finish over the top of his opponent. Ramer is a strong prospect for his age, who finishes very well through contact and is not afraid of anyone coming over as a help defender. I love watching Ramer compete, always one who fights hard for positioning and does the little things to allow his team to have success every time he steps on the court</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
