Five 2025 Bigs Who Should Generate More Interest: Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The summer of AAU is winding down as we head towards the end of July and man, what a summer it was for our in-state prospects. We had a host of players in every age group breakout and put their names on a bunch of college coach's radars at nearly all levels. With the summer coming towards an end, I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to take a look a 15 players from the guard, wing, and big spots that I feel should generate more interest when it comes to their recruitment. For this one, we take a look at out first five bigs whose recruitment should boost up a little bit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1539483"],"_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-669d281e3d0aa"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Offers: None listed</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Player Traits: great passer, point-forward, strong, versatile, offensive guard mentality, very good ball handles, tough in fast break</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>My Quick Thoughts: Slagely's recruitment is a little head scratching as it is a little surprising that more small schools have not offered him yet.

While being one of the more mobile bigs, he is extremely consistent at the rim on both ends of the floor while also being a strong rebounder as well. Schools at all levels should be looking into Milan. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2056300"],"_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-669d1b64e794e"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Offers: St. Francis, Indiana Tech</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Player Traits: lefty, versatile, improving as a ball-handler, high volume scorer, has a pick-and-pop game, great rebounder, do-it-all type of prospect</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>My Quick Thoughts: Yoder has been one of our stock-risers in the state over the past year.

Small schools need to extend offers ASAP. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1539556"],"_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-669d1b64e79c1"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Offers: None listed</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Player Traits: hybrid forward/center, extremely long, strong, rebounds at a high level, high motor, bouncy, solid hands as a big, protects rim</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>My Quick Thoughts: Davis is one of the best "under-the-radar" bigs we have in the in-state class of 2025.

Lot of potential to be a standout at a small school somewhere. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
