Five East Tennessee Forwards with College Potential
In this article:
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>East Tennessee is deeper with frontcourt talent than in year's past. This quintet is full of upside. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1959160' first='Trey' last='Thompson']</strong> (Greeneville) earned an offer from Appalachian State within the first hours D1 programs could directly contact him. Measuring 6-foot-8, 225 pounds.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1787950' first='Luke' last='Sigmund']</strong> (Maryville) will start for the Rebels this winter. He gives a different team look than the graduated Alex Akard. More nimble, less strength. Sigmund will not be asked to adore</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1683257' first='Chandler' last='Gamble']</strong> (South Greene) can score inside and out. The nimble combo forward is light on his feet. Impressive shooting touch and handle considering his height.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2327064' first='Kevin' last='Sacas']</strong> (Baylor School) moved to the United States about a year ago and immediately dominated the Red Raider weight room. Tge Lithuanian Bear, Sacas projects as a D2/D2+ power forward. When he gets his paws on a rebound, leave it alone. An area for improvement is incorporating more elaborate low post moves. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2352726' first='Juwaan' last='Troutman']</strong> (Austin-East) defends the rim for Austin-East, a team that won 23 games last year, and 9 of their last 12. The Roadrunners could win state now that Jahvin Carter (Penn State) is out of the way. Troutman is quick off of his feet though lacks shooting range. His future will likely be JuCo, as a four. </p>
