In the game I watched, he came off the bench and started knocking down 3-pointers in a hurry. He has a nice confident stroke from long distance. He eight eight 3-pointers in the game against Twin Rivers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1986708,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Aiden-Sullivan.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Aiden-Sullivan.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1986708" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aiden Sullivan (Winona): A 6'0" 2026 guard who had an impressive day with his high energy style of play. He was attacking the basket at every opportunity and he didn't mind taking the contact. He either scored or got fouled, or both. He also worked the high post well as a scorer and a passer. He was also a good finisher in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1986709,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Brady-Crum.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Brady-Crum.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1986709" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2719459' first='Brady' last='Crum'] (South Iron): A 6'3" 2026 forward who has good length and an impressive skill set. He has a nice touch around the basket and he can step out and drain the 3-pointer off the catch. He is a future standout in the excellent South Iron program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1986714,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Will-Baugues.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Will-Baugues.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1986714" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will Baugues (East Carter): A 6'5" 2026 post player who has a big body and he knows how to use it underneath. He carves out his space well in the low post and holds his position well. He finishes well inside as he keeps the ball high away from those pesky guards. He is also a solid rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1986715,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Drayton-Wells.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Drayton-Wells.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1986715" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2843294' first='Drayton' last='Wells'] (Mt. View Liberty): A 6'6" 2026 forward who plays with a lot of aggression, especially when he is attacking the boards. I was impressed with how he was getting out of his area to corral rebounds. He also had a soft shooting touch off the backboard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1986716,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Ian-Meyer.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Ian-Meyer.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1986716" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ian Meyer (Greenville): A 5'10" 2027 guard who was seeing some varsity minutes with many of the upperclassmen playing baseball that day. He displayed a very impressive set of skills and he played with a lot of confidence. He had a nice spin move and a cross over move to get to the basket and he shot the ball well from the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1986717,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Corey-Shipp.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Corey-Shipp.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1986717" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Corey Shipp (Doniphan): A 2026 point guard who had a very good feel for the game. His ball handling and playmaking skills were pretty sharp. He delivered some nifty passes on the move and he could hit an open perimeter shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
