A rugged and powerful post presence, Porter took full advantage of his post-grad year at <em>St. Thomas More</em>, developing as much as any prospect in the region. He's a skilled low post scorer, showing the ability to finish over either shoulder and has proven to be a gifted passer from the elbows and high post. He's a physical defender that does a good job at the point of attack in ball screens. He has the positional size and feel for the game to develop into a nice piece at <strong><em>Franklin Pierce</em></strong>, where he should have a solid career in the <em>Northeast-10</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["709258"],"_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-668ebc2f7fe2c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner announced that he'll head closer to his home in Florida when he attends the <strong><em>University of Central Arkansas</em></strong>. A traditional post prospect, Turner is a load in the post and does his best to finish everything around the rim with authority. He uses his frame and lower-body strength to carve out space in the paint, does a good job of doing his work early to establish position, and has excellent hands. He's got an array of post moves, soft touch over either shoulder, and does an impressive job running the floor. Defensively, he's a big presence in the paint and has proven to be a high level rebounder. He moves his feet well, does a good job of walling up, and doesn't take himself off the floor with foul trouble. He's a nice pick up for <strong><em>Central Arkansas</em></strong> and has the chance to develop into a quality big in the <em>ASUN</em>.</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":"Tavon Rhodes","_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":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Neighborhood Charter","_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-668ebc2f7fea8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rhodes came off the board when he announced his commitment to <strong><em>Lesley University</em></strong>. A big time scorer at <em>Neighborhood Charter</em>, Rhodes profiles as an instant impact recruit at this level. He's a versatile guard that can play on or off the ball, is an aggressive downhill scorer, and is a plus athlete. He has good positional size, long arms, and a quick first step that allows him to get by the initial defender. He can score at all three levels and should only continue to improve as he plays against higher level competition. Defensively, he can guard all three perimeter spots and is adept at causing turnovers with deflections or steals. A great get for <em><strong>Lesley</strong></em>, he could quickly develop into one of the better perimeter scorers in the <em>NAC</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1721224"],"_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-668ebc2f7feea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rubin wrapped up his recruitment with a commitment to <strong><em>Sarah Lawrence College</em></strong>. A high IQ, perimeter scorer, Rubin showcases a well-rounded game on the offensive end of the floor. He's a true scoring guard, but is capable of operating with the ball in his hands in ball screens. He's a quality decision maker and quick ball mover that does a great job of cutting and spacing the floor. A high level shooter on the perimeter, he's able to get his feet set quickly and has a nice release. Defensively, he has the ability to guard both backcourt spots and does a nice job of keeping the ball out of the paint. He'll head to the <em>Skyline Conference</em> where he should be able to have a quick presence on the offensive end of the floor for <em><strong>Sarah Lawrence</strong></em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
