He's shown off his growth on the hardwood as more than a scorer and shown he can defend with quite the presence, forcing turnovers with his ability to take charges on defense. He's a lights out shooter from deep as well. He's a prospect for DII programs to track over the next few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/EthanMorgan25/status/1813598802437390798","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EthanMorgan25/status/1813598802437390798 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2130040"],"_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-669ff520c2908"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Surmons has shown his consistency scoring the ball on all levels with NLPB on the grassroots scene. Whether off the bounce or off the catch, he keeps defenders guessing with his ability to score the ball from all areas. He's a confident scoring guard who can get going in a hurry with his ability to shoot at volume. As he puts on strength to his frame, look for his recruitment to grow over in the next few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/sesurmons/status/1813687344576573934?s=46u0026amp;t=qEXdE3QMoZ3BIGZhga0-ng","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/sesurmons/status/1813687344576573934?s=46u0026amp;t=qEXdE3QMoZ3BIGZhga0-ng </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1382732"],"_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-669ff520c2987"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Frey has shown he's back to his old self in his latest outing with [program_tooltip program_id='2234929' first='1' last='of 1 Elite'] on the Pro16 stage this grassroots cycle. He's shown he's a big guard at 6-foot-6 who can get others involved in the offense just as well as he can with his ability to handle ball pressure and make plays with paint touches. His underrated athleticism and strong frame shoild carry him over the next few months as a high level DII recruit.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2043560"],"_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-669ff520c29f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">vanBeurden is yet another name out of St. Stephen's High to track given his activity on the hardwood. He's been on a tear with [program_tooltip program_id='2078471' first='Carolina' last='Riptide'] on the grassroots stage. He's capable of operating at either guard role given his ability to handle ball pressure and make things happen off the bounce. He's quite the attacking presence with his consistency and efficency shooting the basketball and emerging as a name to know in North Carolina's 2026 class. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/noah_vanbeurden/status/1815474692095984000?s=46u0026amp;t=qEXdE3QMoZ3BIGZhga0-ng","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/noah_vanbeurden/status/1815474692095984000?s=46&amp;t=qEXdE3QMoZ3BIGZhga0-ng </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220109"],"_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-669ff520c2a44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown has come a long way on the PH radar as he closes out his grassroots season with [program_tooltip program_id='2225832' first='Team' last='Curry'] East. He's a shifty floor general who knows how to get others involved while maintaining his own scoring consistency on the hardwood. He's an active presence on both ends of the floor who's capable of making his presence felt in the backcourt. His ability to defend with pressure and apply pressure with his paint touches are a hard combination to beat. He'll be one to watch this season on the prep scene with Massanutten Military Academy. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ddb2025/status/1814652221327299027?s=46u0026amp;t=qEXdE3QMoZ3BIGZhga0-ng","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ddb2025/status/1814652221327299027?s=46&amp;t=qEXdE3QMoZ3BIGZhga0-ng </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
