Already taking his talents to Overtime Elite to further develop his game, high school hoops fans won't get to see Cosby in his greater Cincinnati area home. Cosby has a unique blend of size, fluidity, shot making and physical upside. Other national outlets have already done features on Cosby and his talents will be one I'll be watching closely during his action with OTE and on the grassroots circuit.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2140874"],"_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":"I caught Mack-Russell in June with Toledo Central Catholic and saw his current production and upside on full display. Few wings of his age have the shot-making ability and he continued to improve throughout the month during live period weekends at the KABC Titans Shootout and Midwest Live. One of the top NW Ohio talents in the 2027 class, Mack-Russell will be a name fans hear a lot about the next couple seasons.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1761782"],"_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":"Youngstown Ursuline have a pair of talented freshmen in Riccardo and [player_tooltip player_id='2144204' first='Jaylen' last='Gunther'].

Playing for a STVM program that typically move freshman along slowly, it'll be interesting to see how many minutes Monroe gets as a freshman but he's in a great spot to reach his long-term potential under a coaching staff that's developed dozens of Division I talents over the years.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2128752"],"_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":"Maumee Valley Country Day has the chance to be one of the top Division IV teams in the state this year with a strong senior duo and young talent like Lewis developing at the same time.

The Toledo area once again has some top talent in the 2027 class and will have prospects that make noise state and regionwide.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-653aaf81c65f1"} /-->
