Introducing 4EO

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After most of the AAU spring, Team 4EO AAU Head Coach Gary Eady shared a phone call to discuss his Murfreesboro-based team. Coach Elam's words are all italicized.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1669216' first='Christian' last='Johnson'] (Blackman)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>His growth has really evolved over the past year and a half. He hit the weights heavy and had a growth spurt. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I think, he is more of a power forward. As far as the ball-handling, that is an area of opportunity for sure. Being able to play the 3-guard, I doubt it.

HE started as a freshman and played a lot of minutes. That really helped his growth going into last year. We rattled the circuit last year playing. He is kind of the glue guy for them. Now that Isaiah has moved on, he has moved from the two-guard to the one. They played Station Camp and Pearl-Cohn Monday. They played Fayetteville City and Coffee County. They played Tullahoma and Cascade. They played really well. If you look at the scoreboard, yeah, we won, but a lot of great things happened. They are preparing for BCAT. They are going to MTSU Monday-Wednesday. Friday and Saturday. He has an invitation to go to a camp up at Trevecca. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1664285"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a754af8874a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1664285' first='Carter' last='Webb'] (Siegel) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>He is playing well. I have like 4-5 Blackman guys, so Carter coming in and adapting to my leadership style took a little bit. But he is playing well. Carter has a great first-step. He can definitely get to the hole. Can shoot. Plays good defense. [Ceiling?] I am not sure. He has gotten experience and exposure at an early age. I don't want to cap them. He is pretty much the man over there. That is Carter's team. He was the District MVP. With AAU it is a get-out-and-go. Everyone on the team, everybody can step out and shoot it. I only have 1 big man and all other guards. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1548922"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a754af88791"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1548922' first='Eli' last='Gaines'] (Chattanooga Prep)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>He can shoot the ball really well. Being the newcomer it took him a little while to really get comfortable. He played really well in Louisville. Spraining his ankle, while we were down in Dallas, he lead the team in scoring after he came back. {Need to work on?} I think, he is a pretty good shooter, they have him playing at a PG for Chattanooga Prep. He likes to drive and he is a spot-up shooter, as well. Being more comfortable with pressure defense, when he has the ball he needs to be able to handle better. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/05/team-4eo-running-in-dallas-this-weekend/">Team 4EO running in Dallas this Weekend - Prep Hoops</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2237601' first='Micah' last='Shaw'] </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2237638' first='Dyson' last='Elam'] (Blackman)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>He had a rough first start, as far as trying to find himself.
