Cornish brings explosive athleticism and is a tenacious rebounder on the defensive end. Cornish is one of the top tier wings in the Southwest Florida area and will be running with SWFL Hoops 2024 this weekend. Cornish holds an offer from Manhattan University.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1451993"],"_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":"The 5-11 guard is shifty and plays with a high motor every time he is on the floor. Garnett is also an underrated passer where it comes to dishing out assists. His ability to get to the rim has been top notch so far this spring.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1055585"],"_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":"The 5-10 point guard is possibly one of the most underrated guards in the state as he can impact the game in a variety of ways. Cutler has a smooth shooting stroke when it comes to shooting from the perimeter, as well as his precision passing skills. Cutler has a high basketball IQ which will attract college coaches' attention as we gear into the summer.","_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":"Tyler Cowan","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_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":"77247","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Ponte Vedra","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"North Florida United","_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":"The 6-5 wing is a pure double-double machine on any given night.

He is a solid finisher around the rim, efficient rebounder and plays with a high IQ. On the defensive end he can guard multiple positions and also has the ability to hit the outside shot on the offensive end. College coaches should be attracted to Watterson as we gear up for the next live period in just a few weeks.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646cd4cb1f3da"} /-->
