Blyden would be a great next Jesuit star at the event. He's a bona fide D1 prospect that coaches would hit the livestream for. He's a slippery guard that has continued to see his stock rise ever since he hit a high school floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1266476"],"_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-66a396dae6399"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In my humble opinion, Westerdale is a player that should have a laundry list of next level offers. His a modern day lead guard to the definition. He can pass on the move, control pace and make plays for teammates. But he's also an elite shooter and scorer. Coaches would drool at the opportunity to watch this young man go to work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1438258"],"_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-66a396dae63dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There have been a couple Belleville kids come to The Expo and blow up. Remember Braylon Dickerson? I LOVED what he did at this event and his name was hot on our pages afterwards. Look up his college stats. Pretty nice freshman season. Mannon could be next man up. He has so much upside with his height, length and freedom of movement. Mannon could end up as an elite post player in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1372969"],"_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-66a396dae641d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lockhart is a guard that a ton of coaches would be sure to watch in Grand Rapids. He's at the heart of a really good couple years of hoops prospects in the Traverse City area. Lockhart works really well from left to right and can use a couple concise dribble moves to create space for a shot or to get his feet on the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2262438"],"_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-66a396dae645c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hogan had himself a bit of a breakout season over the course of grassroots play. The Expo would be a great chance for him to continue that run and keep his name hot. Let's start with his jumper. He turned a lot of heads with his catch and shoot 3 ball this summer. Hogan proved to be a tremendous kick out option. He's an underrated overall athlete and perimeter defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
