Kayin ran with P7 during AAU. Hard-charging guard with stunning bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:quote --> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The addition of junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1560097' first='Kayin' last='Mitchell'] puts Ridgeway in a better offensive situation than it was a season ago. The Roadrunners won't have to be solely reliant on returnees [player_tooltip player_id='1798576' first='Brian' last='Carter Jr.'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2321809' first='Emanuel' last='Allen'] to carry the load. Mitchell, a 6-foot-0 combo guard, made shots from the perimeter on Wednesday. If his shot making ability can carry over into the regular season, Ridgeway will have a lot of scoring lanes to work with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><cite>Courtney Smith preseason Kayin analysis </cite></blockquote> <!-- /wp:quote --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#67 [player_tooltip player_id='1827388' first='Adrian' last='Sevieri'] (Eagleville)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1827388' first='Adrian' last='Sevieri'] was the Defensive MVP of the 2023 PrepHoopsTN Jv Camp. The guard plays adeptly laterally. Height could inhibit his guard ceiling. Adrian also plays baseball for Eagleville, 2023 State Champions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#68 [player_tooltip player_id='2136934' first='Joel' last='Wyatt'] (Webb-Bell Buckle)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Unusually athletic nearing 6-foot-6. Wyatt will be a forward throughout high school with an modest chance to play the college wing. Shooting skill will be his limiting factor. Wyatt gets up and down the floor like a dream. He can be more consistently active. Last year he looked a bit lost on offense. To be fair he was a freshman on varsity behind a D1 center in Stephen Olowoniyi. Wyatt needs to develop his handle quite a lot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#69 [player_tooltip player_id='1477321' first='Jack' last='Ferraris'] (Bearden)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Way back in his AAU season [player_tooltip player_id='1477321' first='Jack' last='Ferraris'] was one the best Tennessee Impact 15u guys. Last winter Ferraris was one of the best players on one of the best Freshmen Team in the state at Bearden.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jack is a solid 6-foot-2 with a little basketball muscle development. He is a tough guard with the ability to score of set up teammates. The varsity Bearden team is so deep this year that Jack has not yet established himself in the squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#70 [player_tooltip player_id='2077856' first='Seth' last='Taber'] (M.B.A.)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perfect guard height. Hungry to score. Relentless for Stars 15u AAU in 2023 summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
