A physically imposing forward in the paint, Danforth has expanded his game over the last few months and appears to have realistic inside/out potential. He has great hands, can finish over either shoulder, and has a nose for the basketball on the offensive glass. Defensively, he does a good job of defending in the post without fouling and is already a quality defender in ball screen actions. With great positional size, a high motor, and a good feel for the game, he's the type of prospect that should have a nice career in the NEWMAC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Devon Reid","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. Mark's","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667e1dac0efe2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reid made his college plans official when he announced that he will be attending <strong><em>Regis University</em></strong>. A big guard with some serious off the bounce game, Reid has the potential to be a big time scorer at the next level. He has great positional size and does a terrific job of utilizing his length to finish at the rim. He's a high IQ cutter, can consistently make shots from behind the arc, and can really create space off the bounce. Defensively, he has wing stopper potential as he already does a great job of utilizing his length to make opponents finish over him. He could make an immediate impact next year and should have a solid four year career in the GNAC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2312415"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667e1dac0f050"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yapo will continue his basketball career in New England when he attends <strong><em>Post University</em></strong>. A native of England, Yapo took full advantage of his post-graduate season at <em>Bridgton Academy</em> and subsequently, will continue his basketball career at the Division II level. One of New England's most impressive athletes, he's an above the rim finisher and glass cleaner. His high motor and physicality are two of his most impressive traits, but it was his rapid skill development that really moved the needle this winter. Defensively, he has the potential to guard all five positions at the next level with his combination of athleticism, lateral movility, and strength. He's a prospect that clearly still has his best basketball ahead of him and one that we anticipate could have an immediate impact in the CACC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2312408"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667e1dac0f092"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Munkadi ended his recruitment with a commitment to <strong><em>Fairfield University</em></strong>. A big time athlete, Munkadi appears to just be scratching the surface of his potential as a basketball player. He's athletic, long, and incredibly mobile for his size. He does a great job of running the floor in transition, plays as hard as any big many in New England, and is a serious lob threat in the half court. Defensively, he's uses his length to be disruptive around the rim and is relentless in his pursuit of the basketball. His mobility comes in handy on that end as he's capable of guarding one or two dribbles on the perimeter in isolations. His commitment is a big one, literally and figuratively, for <em>Fairfield</em> and he's the type of prospect that has all league potential in the MAAC down the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
