<li>[player_tooltip player_id='2434245' first='Kaleil' last='Lewis'] is our number one player in the current 2027 class. Lewis is a solid, broad shouldered 15 year old machine. Our first peek at Lewis at the Big Shots WV Tip Off saw him put in put back dunks from rebounds and dominate the boards. A true inside force and post player who plays with energy and muscle on both ends. </li>

<li>[player_tooltip player_id='2337710' first='Max' last='Frey'] was the lone freshman on the Morgantown squad last season who cut down the nets in Charleston. Frey is a skilled and athletic guard who flies around the floor, disrupting on defense, dunking breakaways and facilitating in the halfcourt. Look for Frey to play a huge role this coming year if not start. He has the ability to score in bunches but won't be relied upon. Frey will be yet another great Morgantown guard. </li>

<li>[player_tooltip player_id='2413869' first='Ethan' last='Cummings'] is a pure hooper and in one of the best basketball programs in WV. Cummings who will likely replace a graduating senior at Tucker County has had a great start to the AAU season and will help his transition to being a heavy contributor to the Tucker program as well as help compliment an all-stater teammate and balance the floor in the process. </li>

<li>[player_tooltip player_id='2337749' first='Seth' last='Cronin'] came off the bench last season for the Rebels despite being one of Ritchie's best players. Cronin is a sharp shooting lefty two-guard and will be the missing piece for the Rebels and could see him as tops in points several nights. Cronin is a smooth ballhandler as well and handles in transition like a boss. </li>

<li>[player_tooltip player_id='2395970' first='Eli' last='Patton'] will team up with his brother and make a potent tandem at guards for the Mercer Christian squad. Patton who already played in varsity action will be sure to carry the load more this season. Patton is a skilled and athletic guard who will get scoring opportunities as defenses will be geared towards slowing down big brother. Looking forward to tracking his AAU performances. </li>

<li>[player_tooltip player_id='2434801' first='Marshall' last='Summers'] is just another great scorer and shooter in the Cabell Midland basketball program. Another shooting guard/wing with great talent and length. Summers saw limited varsity time last year but in important minutes of games. Marshall will definitely have opportunities scoring as the Knights bring back a talented squad who will be poised for a run. </li>
