McCollum's size and shooting ability is incredible valuable and he's been one of the most consistent producers on the grassroots circuit with Ohio United. Committed to Division II powerhouse Hillsdale, McCollum fits what a lot of their prior guards do well on the court.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1352455"],"_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":"One of the more dynamic lead guards in Ohio, Hardy has the shiftiness and scoring ability to take over a game. In a rivalry game victory over Lutheran East, Hardy showed off all his skills with numerous tough shots and some dimes to teammates for easy buckets. When Hardy is locked in, there's few guards in northeast Ohio that can match his impact on a game. Scholarship programs take a look at Hardy if you need a lead guard who can create for himself and others with the ball in his hands.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["973875"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"One of the more athletic guards still available in the 2023 class, Allen is a big-time producer in transition. I've been impressed with the steps he's taken as a lead guard with playmaking and taking care of the basketball. Allen has had some incredible athletic showings with powerful dunks and chase down blocks. Scholarship programs that play at a fast tempo that are looking for a guard should take a hard look at what Allen could bring to their program.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1494504"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The engine for Saint Edward's incredible 2022-23 season that just had their unbeaten regular season come to an end on Friday, Perusek has been one of the biggest stock risers in the state. A guy I saw in the summer and was impressed with his athleticism and production, I was unsure how big of an impact Perusek would make in the regular season. Perusek has only gone out and dominated for one of the best teams in the state. His athleticism is elite and his ability to finish at the rim is crazy. Not a threat from the outside shooting the basketball, if Perusek can consistently knock down open jumpers, he has a chance to be an excellent college player. A guard who should be at the top of Division III recruiting boards with scholarship interest, a deep playoff run should add to Perusek's recruiting interest.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1181712"],"_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":"Another northeast Ohio guard making a huge impact on one of the best teams in the state, Hamilton has taken over as the point guard for Dru Joyce II and thrived in that role. Hamilton has had some huge games for the Irish this season, showing off his scoring ability. Tough to stay in front of, Hamilton uses his lack of size to his advantage with his shiftiness and pull-up ability. A competitive defender and not afraid to take charges, Hamilton is another prospect who should be getting scholarship interest with a deep postseason run.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e1466f0ce57"} /-->
