In a win over the [program_tooltip program_id='2075761' first='Ohio' last='Buckets'], Calo was getting busy offensively. Getting to his spots in the mid-range, Calo was hitting defenders with jab steps and crossovers to find space to pull-up. In the half-court, Calo finished with his left hand off two feet, staying on balance off drives to the cup. Calo will be one of the top new names in our updated 2025 rankings coming next week.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1285256"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"I got a game and a half of [program_tooltip program_id='2289357' first='Team' last='Wildcat HGSL'] this weekend and Webb impressed me with his ability to knock down shots off the catch. Keeping the game simple is usually the best option for players, especially with so many college coaches trying to see how you would fit with their roster. For Webb, making shots, competing on defense and being efficient will be the key for him to stand out to small college coaches. As a Junior, Webb averaged 14.3 PPG and made 53 3-pointers for Bellbrook.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2434202"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Marshall Warriors were playing down a couple pieces due to injuries, but this allowed the healthy players to get plenty of minutes to shine this weekend. I was impressed with Sullivan's athleticism on both ends of the court. A quick athlete who scored transition buckets, Sullivan consistently was beating the opposition down the court. Defensively, Sullivan forced turnovers and talked on defense when he was in help-side. I also thought Sullivan did a nice job not forcing the issue offensively, could be a new name to know in northeast Ohio this winter.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2434200"],"_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":"Saint Ignatius is coming off a state championship and they lose a handful of players to graduation that will need their minutes replaced next season. Thomas was a guy who I thought might be able to potentially play a role next season for the Wildcats. Playing for [program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last=''] Premier, Thomas knocked down multiple shots off the bounce in the game I caught. A solid open court athlete, Thomas beat defenders down the court. Also jumping passing lanes defensively, Thomas showed off good instincts on that end of the court. When the driving lanes were shut off, Thomas kicked it out to open shooters.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1837239"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"I caught NW Ohio's last pool play game and after a strong start, they couldn't finish off an unbeaten pool play record. Sheets was getting things going early with his physicality and rebounding. Sheets has grown an inch since the last time I saw him play and was punishing guards in the paint off switches from his screens. One of the more productive bigs from NW Ohio, Sheets should have plenty of small college interest due to his size and scoring ability in the paint.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663a5ab8c36f7"} /-->
