<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Zero Gravity Super 16 event took place in Connecticut over Memorial Day. Featuring teams from New England and the Tri-State area, it was a must attend event. The even took place over two days and needed four host sites to house all of the games. While there were plenty of performances worthy of discussion, I took a look back to day one of the event. Placing my focus on the Trumbull site, I took a look at some of the stock risers from day one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2313008' first='Najimi' last='George']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Kolbe Cathedral","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"DTX Red","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The 6'4u0022 [player_tooltip player_id='2313008' first='Najimi' last='George'] stood out in day 1 with his clear athletic ability. Putting the ball on the deck came easy for George who displayed ability to utilize a strong first-step and attack the rim either allowing himself to finish or get the defense to collapse opening up looks from the outside. Defensively he displayed active hands in drop coverage when acting as the screener defender, yet again showing how he is able to leverage his length on the floor.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2470895' first='Jakare' last='Innocent']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Taunton High School","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"BCRI HGSL","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='2470895' first='Jakare' last='Innocent'] instantly stood out in the two BCRI games from Saturday in a multitude of ways. Using his size and length on defense, Innocent proved to be a pesky defender and often turned his assignment impeding their progress and forcing a change of direction all while staying away from picking up easy fouls. When defenders tried to pullup off of the dribble, the 2026 prospect showed great shot contesting ability. Away from the ball he wasn't afraid to mix it up either, often displaying strong boxouts and pursuit of rebounds.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1529072"],"_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":"It may seem strange seeing Quinn's name as a stock riser given where he is currently sitting in our New England rankings, but at this point it seems like an inevitability that the 2025 guard will continue his ascent as he continues on the circuit with BABC and gears up for his Junior year at Tabor Academy. Quinn did a bit of everything ranging from getting downhill paint touches, creating and absorbing contact, to drawing charges and disrupting transition opportunities for his opposition. The game never felt sped up when the ball was in his hands. Currently holding an offer from South Florida, it is also reported that Iowa, Pittsburgh, and Loyola have also begun taking note of Quinn's game and it seems like the flood gates might be about to open on Daithi's recruitment.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1532640"],"_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 6'6u0022 wing stood out in the early stages of day one due to the use of his size. While in our database as a wing, Costello showed ability to use his size as a rim disruptor. By using his vertical reach, the 2025 prospect stayed out of foul trouble while providing an impact on the defensive end by altering shots. Outside of showcasing his discipline as a rim protector, Costello displayed a defensive skillset that showed his ability to switch on ball screen and DHO actions, giving college coaches a glimpse that he can be a versatile defender and guard multiple positions.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6475fff0a4511"} /-->
