<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri introduces you to some New Names of forwards who caught our eye at this weekend's Hoops and Beyond Summer Showcase at Webster Groves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2453770,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/IMG_3178.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/IMG_3178.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2453770" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2528006' first='Beau' last='Blanton'] (Helias): A 6'3 2027 small forward who is equally effective on the perimeter as he is inside. He takes advantage of mismatches as he can post up guards inside and take bigger players off the dribble. He plays well off two feet in the lane and he makes good use of shot fakes inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2454034,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/IMG_3430.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/IMG_3430.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2454034" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jeremy Borum (University City): A 6'6 2025 forward who has good length and athleticism.

What stands out is his activity. He screens well and he rebounds and aggressively goes for blocked shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2453771,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/IMG_3360.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/IMG_3360.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2453771" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2536467' first='Christian' last='Potts'] (CBC): A 6'8 2026 forward who is a young developing big. He's long and lanky and he plays with a high motor. He's a good shot blocker who runs the court very well. With a little more physical strength and experience, he has a chance to be a factor in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2454035,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/IMG_3420.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/IMG_3420.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2454035" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brady Tharpe (Francis Howell): A 6'5 2025 power forward who was really rock solid in the post.
