An athletic wing, George utilizes his physical gifts to make an impact on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he's strong enough to guard in the paint and can protect the rim as a help defender. He's a strong rebounder and can really guard any position on the floor with his combination of lateral mobility, athleticism, and strength. Offensively, he's a dynamic slasher that can finish through contact at the rim with either hand. He's tough when he gets downhill off the bounce and has showed signs of potential as a perimeter shooter. His best basketball is clearly still ahead of him and he's the type of wing prospect that should develop into a nice player in the Northeast-10.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Ryan Hammarlund","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Southington","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Hammarlund, a big time scorer at Southington, will join the reigning CCC champions when he attends u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eRoger Williams Universityu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e this fall. An impressive scorer on the wing, Hammarlund fits the mold of a multi-postional perimeter prospect. He has good positional size, is strong physically, and has a well-rounded skillset. He's a three level scorer that can really get it done from behind the arc, showing the abililty to consistenly make threes off the catch. His combination of IQ and feel for the game allows him to make solid decisions with the ball in his hands. Defensively, he should be able to defender up and down a position and is a capable rebounder in traffic. Long term, he has the ability to be an all-league type of performer in the CCC and should have a very nice four-year career at RWU.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Jason Sepe","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Ponaganset","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Sepe, a big guard that did plenty of scoring at Ponaganset this winter, has accepted a preferred walk-on opportunity at u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eBryant Universityu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e. A long combo guard, Sepe is the type of prospect that fills up the box score. While he's comfortable playing with the ball in his hands; he might be at his best off the ball where he can be a primary scorer. He's a capable perimeter shooter and has a nice pull-up game in the mid-range. Defensively, his length allows him to guard both spots in the back-court and he does a nice job of moving his feet to keep the ball in front of him. He'll join one of the top programs in the America East and gets to do so while staying close to home.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2312334"],"_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":"Johnson, the highest ranked 2024 uncommited prospect in our latest rankings updated, made his college decision official when he announced that he'll be attending u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eHampton Universityu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e. One of the top athletes in New England, Johnson is a big wing that has an impressive physical profile and a high motor to match. On the offensive end of the floor, he's at his best when he's attacking the rim; both off the bounce and off the ball as a cutter. He has next level athleticism, which pops when he's in transition, and can finish with authority at the rim. Defensively, he's incredibly versatile and impresses with his ability to cover ground quickly. He can guard on the perimeter, protect the rim as a shot blocker, and rebound in and out of his area. At this point in the cycle, he's a terrific pick-up for Hampton and long term, has all-CAA potential on the wing.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6615d6d5587a5"} /-->
