Explosive with the ball in his hands, and got open with hard cuts and quick footwork. Tries to create for himself and was consistent on the offensive glass, getting quite a few 2nd chance opportunities. Crowe has been a priority for Division II programs the last few weeks and will continue to attract attention with his play.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1165701"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Pleiman didn't have the flashiest game, but he was efficient on both ends of the floor. Moved side-to-side against [player_tooltip player_id='1201838' first='Zion' last='Crowe'] and was able to stop several drives absorbing contact with his body. Doesn't jump off the page with his initial drives, but hits that 2nd level in a hurry. Brings great size on the perimeter and can get his shots up with his bigger frame over defenders.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Jordan Herzog","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Botkins","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Herzog stepped up in a big way as the Trojans needed some secondary offensive output. Has solid size at 6'4 and had no issue putting the ball on the floor and attacking the rim hard. Doesn't have the athleticism as other guys, but has the intangibles and work ethic. Made some tough shots with the right hand. His continued ability to score the ball and take pressure off [player_tooltip player_id='1165701' first='Carter' last='Pleiman'] will determine how far the Trojans can go come March.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Gordy Sulfsted","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"St. Xavier","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Sulfsted impressed me for the 2nd time this year with his bigger frame and interior play. Gets his shoulder squared and finished consistently around the rim. Has good hands and keeps the ball secured when making his post moves. Being a sophomore, Sulfsted could be a special player in the next few years with continued growth and development.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1352455"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Hardy impressed me in the 1st half of the loss against Centerville.
