will come to nobody's surprise that Young is top ranked here.  The recent Akron commit has dazzled crowds and college coaches for three years now and will continue to do so this school season.  Sharron has every attribute that anyone would want in a point guard.  The most valuable but more obscure thing he does on the floor is control tempo and having a feel for where the tempo needs to be.  He's a perfect example for young players learning the game at this position as he rarely makes a mistake.","_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":2247066,"_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip

who is an outstanding two sport athlete, has picked up a D2 offer from Glenville recently for basketball.  Elijah has incredible athletic ability and lateral quickness and ability to be an elite defender, both attributes of being a D2 player.  Redfern has been depended upon to be a shot maker in school season's past but might have enough weapons around him to be more a distributor while still being opportunistic in his scoring which is certainly a strong suit.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":2247080,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip

is a spectacular guard who despite playing in WV's top division and arguably the division's top shooter, has seen the college attention come at a slow pace.  WV BlueChips rates him as a D2 level guard and has referred him to several D2 and D3 schools.  Gladney shoots a high volume as well as a high volume from three, but has great point guard skills to pair with it.  He's gonna be a steal for

him.","_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":1935778,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip

a skill set that will translate nicely to a college roster.  The St Albans product lit up the scorebooks last season and likely to continue this season, however he's had some weapons start to emerge

talented and gifted roster.  Expectations will be high and only one goal of cutting down the Civic Center nets in March.  But Lunsford is no stranger to big situations with great talent in the same uniform.  We'd expect him to have great command of the floor and use his sharp decision making to make the right plays as he typically does in every situation.  Lunsford has a great skill of either finding the right player or making the right play himself, whether it be a dish, jumper or

Harris on the basketball court is what you would imagine from a 5'10u0022 3-star WR, quick, explosive and exceptionally athletic.  Plays the point as fierce as one can on both ends and brings the

big one and possibly one that entails college offers and
