Jean is always giving directions on offense, even from the bench. But when on the floor, Jean is as dynamic as a point guard as they come. At Made Hoops NYC Clash, Jean continued to show there is not many defenders who can keep up with his handle and quickness. Jean was able to keep defenders off balance on several occasions, resulting in tough finishes that also drew fouls. And Jean is never looking for just his shot. When there was a mismatch or blown coverage, Jean was quick to take advantage of it. NYC point guard play is always exciting to watch, and Flavio Jean is must-see this Spring and Summer.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663d91b39399f"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/InsideTheSoleNY/status/1788756536346472617","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/InsideTheSoleNY/status/1788756536346472617 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2436375,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Raymond Kinnard","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Earl Monroe High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"CM3","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eRaymond Kinnard is a special talent with the basketball in his hands. For starters, Kinnard is quick and shifty with the basketball. Equipped with a quick release, defenders are never at ease when Kinnard operates. During the Made Hoops NYC Clash, Kinnard was quick to the rim a few times. Choosing not to dance on the perimeter too much, Kinnard was efficient using quick moves and getting into his shot. This Spring, Kinnard will have a plethora of chances to showcase his playmaking ability. And continue to build after a stellar junior season at Earl Monroe High School.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663d91b393a47"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/InsideTheSoleNY/status/1788757897834369472","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/InsideTheSoleNY/status/1788757897834369472 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2436381,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tobi Babs-Ogundeji","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Brooklyn Collegiate High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"CM3","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eTori Babs-Ogundeji is constantly getting better and this Spring is no different. At Made Hoops NYC Clash, Ogundeji showed his versatility by guarding the 4 and 5 man on the opposing teams. In addition, to limiting their opportunities at the rim, Ogundeji did an excellent job keeping bigs away from the boards. On offense, Ogundeji is always too much for bigger defenders because of his own strength and quickness. Ogundeji welcomes contact when driving or posting on the block. And because of this he was a frequent visitor to the line during the weekend. Ogundeji is a player to keep an eye on because of his steady improvement and physical tools.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663d91b393ad6"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":2436383,"width":"788px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/P1769443-crop-1538x1010-1715308480.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/P1769443-crop-1538x1010-1715308480.jpg?w=800" alt="One of our 2025 game changers, Tori Babs-Ogundeji at Queens College " class="wp-image-2436383" style="width:788px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Connor Igoe","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Poly Prep","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2078609' first='New' last='Heights']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eConnor Igoe is a big body that knows how to throw his weight around.

Arthur is strong quick and aggressive with the basketball. Always with his head on a swivel, Arthur is looking to create a play the moment the ball is inbounded. Plus, Arthur is a consistent shooter from outside and cannot be left alone. At Made Hoops NYC Clash, Arthur was relentless on the defensive end as well. Whether that meant picking up the opposing guard full court, or sprinting from one trap to another. Arthur really looks focused on showcasing how his strength quickness and aggression also translate on defense this spring.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663d91b393be2"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1403217"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2436388,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1403217' first='Jayden' last='Ramirez'] is a fiery guard, who can put the ball on the floor and finish over anybody. Ramirez is strong and athletic for his size, but his desire to compete makes him a giant. For the Jayhawks, Ramirez is being called upon to knock down shots and be a leader on the Made Hoops circuit. Ramirez, with his time at Christ the King, looks ready to assume the role. At the NYC Clash, Ramirez was aggressive getting to the rim looking to draw contact. And continued to be a threat from long range. With offers from teams in the MEAC and MAAC conferences, Ramirez is an impact player to watch this Spring.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663d91b393c44"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":2436392,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/P1768902-crop-1538x1010-1715309252.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/P1768902-crop-1538x1010-1715309252.jpg?w=800" alt="2025 game changer [player_tooltip player_id='1403217' first='Jayden' last='Ramirez'] playing with New York Jayhawks" class="wp-image-2436392" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
