He plays with a high motor and plays hard on every possession. He is a relentless competitor who plays with a lot of grit and isn't hesitant when it comes to giving up his body for 50/50 balls and banging for rebounding position. He makes winning plays that are not scoring plays, which is why he is a valuable commodity to his squad. He is a listed PF, and if you follow my writings, you know I say that he is undersized, but for play in the state of Alabama, he can get away with it. When Keith is on the low block, and the offense goes through him, he does a good job passing out of the post, creating easy scoring opportunities.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2283348,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/PH-Andrew-Voyles-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/PH-Andrew-Voyles-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2283348" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2314050' first='Andrew' last='Voyles'] </strong>(6'1/PG/'26/Wetumpka HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Andrewvoyles0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @athleticacv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: Mountain Brook Spartan Turkey Jam</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Andrew is the lead guard on his squad and has good court vision and court awareness. He showed nice passing and set-up ability, plays like a coach on the floor, and really excels at running the offense. The strength of his game is his outside shooting, as he can knock down the open trey. He is decent in his 1 on 1 match-up, is a solid defender, and rebounds well at the guard spot.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2283352,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/PH-Cameron-Hill-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/PH-Cameron-Hill-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2283352" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2291702' first='Cameron' last='Hill'] </strong>(6'1/PG/'25/Theodore HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: licam251</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @Cameron15109422</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: Mountain Brook Spartan Turkey Jam</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cameron is one of the top playmakers I saw throughout the Thanksgiving week. He initiates the offense and does a good job getting his squad into what the coach wants. Cameron is a reliable floor general who commands the offense when the ball is in his hands. He gets into the paint, and when he draws the help, he drops dimes consistently. Cameron is at his best when he is out in transition and pushing the rock. He thrives in the open court, and his team plays better when they are out and running. Defensively, Cam plays the passing lanes very well and gets deflections, disrupting opponents' offensive rhythm.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2283353,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/PH-Thomas-Taaffe-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/PH-Thomas-Taaffe-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2283353" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389285' first='Thomas' last='Taaffe'] </strong>(6'3/SF/'24/Vestavia Hills HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: thomas_taaffe22</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: Vestavia Hills Sneaky Pete's Rebel Classic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Thomas is a good fit in the Rebels system. He is not called upon to score the rock but delivers what he is asked to provide. He is a lengthy wing player who defends and causes a lot of problems in the Rebels press as well as in their half-court defense. While several players are out for the Rebels, Thomas is providing valuable minutes and solid play. He is very active on the boards and does a good job going up high to secure rebounds. His play has been valuable, and he will be able to help tremendously as the Rebels look to go deep into the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2283354,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/PH-Richard-Terrell-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/PH-Richard-Terrell-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2283354" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389290' first='Richard' last='Terrell'] </strong>(6'1/F/'24/The Altamont School) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Terrellrichard8</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: Pelham Thanksgiving Tourney</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Richard does a good job looking for his offense to be a creator off the bounce. He attacks in straight lines, collapses the defense, and makes good decisions with the ball when he gets two feet in the paint. Richard also does a good job getting out in transition and running the floor and is a good outlet for Altamont's young PG. Defensively, Richard does a good job playing in help. He understands his role and does not try to go outside of what his team needs from him, and that will help his team compete in every game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1753400' first='Matthew' last='Grice']&nbsp;</strong>(6'3/W/'25/Minor HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: diff_matt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Evaluation Event: Pelham Thanksgiving Tourney</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Matt was an interior presence that made life tough on the inside for opponents. He is a versatile defender who the Tigers need to defend on the perimeter and on the low block. He is a solid defender that makes opponents earn what they get. Even though he is listed at 6'3 and is undersized in certain match-ups, he is a physical competitor who battles on every possession regardless of who he is matched up against. Matthew is also very active on the boards, as he rebounds at a high rate and finds easy buckets from put-backs on the offensive glass.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
