New Names from Week 9

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some new names I took note of during my time in the gym last week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2333836' first='Roman' last='Hendrix'] | Forest Park '24</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hendrix is a rangy 6'3" guard who is a good rebounder for his position. He collected a team-high 7 boards against an opponent in Fairfax Christian who controlled the glass collectively. Hendrix exhibits good defensive potential. He has a nose for the ball and reacts quickly to 50/50's. I also noticed that Hendrix does a nice job relocating off the ball to get open on offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2333839' first='Fred' last='Johnson'] | Fairfax Christian '24</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is an important contributor to a deep and talented Cardinals' backcourt unit. He is a threat from three who is shot-ready and sets his feet simultaneously with the catch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2353642' first='Soren' last='Kyne'] | Centreville '27</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyne has played sparingly both times I've seen him but has shown signs that he could become a contributor down the road for the Wildcats. He is a skilled guard prospect with some breakdown ability off the bounce. Kyne can hit the outside shot from behind the arc and has a soft touch from the foul line as well. He is a playmaker on both sides of the ball who can block shots from his guard position and also rebounds well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2347788' first='Merrick' last='Rillstone'] | South Lakes '26</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rillstone is a 6'5" prospect from New Zealand who brings value as a finisher. His presence gives the Seahawks added depth and versatility. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2333841' first='Austin' last='Trought'] | Fairfax Christian '24</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trought is another unsigned senior who I've added to my radar after watching Fairfax Christian recently. Some of his best moments occurred in transition when he was able to get a full head of steam going to the basket. Trought is a crafty finisher with good body control when scoring in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
