One of the elite shooters in Ohio, Foster was making it rain all weekend for All Ohio Red 15 U. With consistent off-ball movement, Foster is a player who you need to keep track of during all times. Another area where Foster is so tough to guard is his confidence to take transition pull-up 3-pointers. While many younger guards shy away from this usually low percentage shot, it is not a low percentage shot for Foster. Giving out buckets in all sorts of ways, Foster hit spot-ups, DHO’s, step-backs and movement 3-pointers. When Foster masters the ability to keep defenders on his hip as a driver, he’ll be even tougher to stop as a driver as well. One of the elite players in Ohio’s 2027 class, it won’t be long till he’s a nationally known prospect.
I really liked what Evans brought to the table as a complimentary piece. He showed me more ball handling and play-making than I saw during the high school season. Combine this with efficient scoring and a strong body and Evans is a very productive 15 U player. Already doing the extra stuff that helps you win, Evans jumps to passes, gets deflections defensively and makes the extra pass to better shooters. Mature beyond his age, Evans will be a prospect central Ohio fans will continue to hear about, I expect him to make a big leap with offensive volume as he continues to mature and develop.
One of the most skilled forwards in Ohio’s 2027 class, Keyes can do a variety of things on the offensive end. With excellent touch on jumpers, Keyes can space the floor and loves the turnaround jumper. Productive in the paint due to his ability to stretch out the defense then attack off the bounce, Keyes is a mismatch in the paint. Biggest thing for Keyes will be getting in better shape to play heavy minutes in high paced games. Obviously these prospects are very young and have plenty of time to develop but it’s good to get early eyes on these players before college coaches really focus on recruiting this class. Division I coaches will be getting eyes on Keyes sooner rather than later.
Highlights
One of the most athletic players I’ve scouted at the 15 U level, Wingard did some silly things on the court. Whether it was alley-oop slams, putback dunks, putting his head at the rim for layups, Wingard was flying across the court. Running a bit of an undersized power forward role offensively, Wingard was a match-up problem due to his ability to attack off the bounce and his long strides allowed him to get out in transition and run. Recently offered by local program Ut-Chattanooga, they won’t be the last to offer this athletic wing who plays for Boo Williams.
