<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week was full of great games that had lots of great players in them. I saw some exciting prospects and look forward to giving you my evaluations. It is time to recap this week and look at what our exciting prospects did.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Homestead</strong>: vs Fort Wayne Blackhawk (1/10)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='868270' first='Kyron' last='Kaopuiki'] - 6'3 SG 2023: Kaopuiki is a smooth senior guard that can make plays at all three levels. Real deadly shooter form behind the arc and was shooting a near 52% before entering this game. Plays on the ball more often than not and just has an act for making the right plays. Plays with a little bit of swag too Small colleges need to be all over this guy.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1158215' first='Tucker' last='Day'] – 6'7 C 2024: Day is a tall, lanky center who was coming into his first game after missing some time. He is a true rim protector and moves pretty well for his size. Can also stretch the floor a little from what I have seen in the past. Would like to see him be a little more aggressive on the offense and work on improving at the line. With his size and skill, he has a ton of upside.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fort Wayne Blackhawk</strong>: vs Homestead (1/10)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1364589' first='Kellen' last='Pickett'] - 6'8 PF 2025: Pickett is a tall power forward had a very dominant game here for Blackhawk. Was very active on both ends and around the basket he was explosive. On defense, he has some legit shot blocking ability and can go out and guard the perimeter. Does force it a little but not too much right now. Lot of potential in this guy.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1042499' first='Josh' last='Furst'] - 6'6 PF 2023: Furst is the other Blackhawk big man that had a big game in this one. Showed some great footwork around the rim and was making strong play after strong play. With his scoring, he can be a little bit crafty as well. Another guy that NAIA schools should take interest in.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1042496' first='Gage' last='Sefton'] - 6'4 SG 2023: The tall shooting guard might have been the best player on the floor in this one. Was getting bucket after bucket and doing it at all three levels. Was aggressive on attacking the lane and on defense, he had a few steal and fast break scores as well. Guy just finds ways to make plays.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bedford</strong>: vs Mitchel (1/13)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273007' first='Colton' last='Staggs']</strong> – 6'0 PG 2023: Staggs has always been one of my favorite, under-the-radar point guards the last few year. Incredibly smart player that hardly ever makes mistakes. Scores off the dribble so well and looks a lot stronger since I saw him last. Creates so well off the dribble and has never forced anything. A cool and calm player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273008' first='Colten' last='Leach']</strong> – 6'0 PG 2023: Leach continues to be the elite scorer he always has been. He was aggressive on both ends of the floor and his pull up jumper was money. His overall shot making looked much more improved. Such an athletic player that has had a ncoe career for the Stars</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

This week was full of great games that had lots of great players in them. I saw some exciting prospects and look forward to giving you my evaluations. It is time to recap this week and look at what our exciting prospects did.
