He's strong and physical and will be an impact on both ends of the court. Pope is a big-time rebounder and cleans up around the rim for second chance opportunities. While he was a role player for the Bulldogs last season, he will need to take on a more impactful role this season if Meadville is to be successful. Look for him to be more of a scorer.</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":"Max Wallace","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Cathedral Prep","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"SPS","_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-66aa4ebf46591"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Max Wallace is a versatile player with an excellent jump shot.

He shows great touch around the rim and can effectively use a floater from the low post. Wallace's strength and physicality make him an excellent rebounder. He has been putting in significant work this summer to enhance his game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1204070"],"_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-66aa7b3745944"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1204070' first='Mickey' last='Vaccarello'] is a versatile and physical player. His ability to finish at the rim with both hands demonstrates excellent coordination and touch. He's intelligent and knows how to play off the ball. Vaccarello's screens knock defenders off their feet, and he shows a good sense of spacing when he rolls to the rim. Vaccarello has great hands and makes tough catches in traffic. Defensively, Vaccarello is a force and he is an excellent shot blocker. While he has committed to playing football at Stanford after this season, don't let that stop you from thinking he is an equally skilled basketball player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2478651"],"_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-66aa7b37459c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2478651' first='Trevor' last='Rehm'] is one of the top prospects in Western PA.

He's also had an impressive summer on the AAU circuit. At 6'7", he possesses the size and length coaches want to see in a DI forward. His ability to defend multiple positions, from guards to centers, showcases his exceptional athleticism and basketball IQ. Offensively, Okolie is equally versatile. He attacks the rim with explosive drives and can also stretch the floor with his outside shooting. His athleticism is truly exceptional.
