Perhaps they will just play a positionless role, rebounding and defending the 3/4, or maybe they will try to become a wing at the next level. Keep in mind players are assigned a position at we think they will play in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rossview forward <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2352385' first='Landon' last='Hankemeier'] </strong>rebounded like a natural center (7.3 rpg) and yet he projects as a college forward despite standing 6-foot-4. The center played strong and assured off of two feet. LH scored at 56% from the floor this year and even finished tied for second with 1.5 steals per. Hankemeier earned All-District First Team and helped vault his senior-laden team into the State Tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RedHawksFlight/status/1760819064497168661?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RedHawksFlight/status/1760819064497168661?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1675888' first='Brandon' last='Jamison']</strong> (Stewarts Creek) is not a hulking presence in the lane. Standing 6-foot-5. Jamison will play forward in college after signing to Bryan University thanks to his agility and budding skills. Jamison is a little raw and can improve his shooting range, but he scores consistently at the 4A level. The outgoing senior put in the work on his body, becoming a strong, powerful forward with some decent change of direction. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
