Dangerous in transition with the explosiveness to throw it down. Also a tough on-ball defender, Bussey fits the profile that a lot of small college programs look for. A high academic student, Bussey has set himself up to be recruited by a variety of programs. Lots of time Saint Edward has the depth where players have to wait till their senior year to play a major varsity role. That's been the case with Bussey and he is making the most of his opportunity to play heavy minutes early in the season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2288535"],"_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":"Another Saint Edward prospect that waited his turn, Scarpitti is a bit of a different type of guard. Undersized but a guard who will bring toughness, Scarpitti is looking to set the table for his teammates and knock down perimeter shots. The lefty played a role as a Junior and after a strong summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last=''] is a big piece for the Eagles as a senior. Another prospect who should receive a lot of small college interest, Scarpitti took a visit to Division III powerhouse Wooster over the summer.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2204926"],"_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":"One of a few transfers to Toledo Whitmer this off-season, McLeod came from Wauseon. After being a multi sport standout at Wauseon, McLeod has fit in well with Whitmer. I got to see McLeod for the first time in person at the Toledo Top 64 where he stood out as a complimentary guard who could knock down open shots, find the open man and defend on the perimeter.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1819387"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Reynolds isn't a point guard but can shoot it at an extremely high level. He formed a nice back-court duo with [player_tooltip player_id='1373988' first='Kenyon' last='Giles'] last season before Giles transferred to Maple Heights and the lefty has had some big-time scoring games as a senior. I was impressed when I caught Reynolds at the Cleveland Basketball Classic the opening weekend of the high school season this year. A name for regional small college programs to check out.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658c675d6eecf"} /-->
