The Last Dance: Teddy’s 2028 Evaluations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last weekend, I got to watch numerous 2028 prospects play for the first time on the PrepHoops circuit. Mostly from an exciting Friday night matchup between M14 Goals and [program_tooltip program_id='2075314' first='Big' last='3 Basketball']. Here's a look at some evaluations I wrote for incoming freshman in the class of 2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125627"],"_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-66968e2bbb5fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vahl played up on the 15u [program_tooltip program_id='2078448' first='Illinois' last='Wolves'] team. Opened the weekend with a huge scoring performance before I watched him against [program_tooltip program_id='2078408' first='Team' last='Rose']. From what I've seen, he's got smooth game that will translate really well at the college level. Lengthy, mobile 2028 prospect made plays as a scorer from all three levels. And-one floater in the second half was one of his best plays from that matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2404455"],"_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-66968e2bbb660"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Outstanding build for an incoming freshman and I could totally see him grow a few more inches. Bouncy product gets up and down the floor at a high rate. Finds himself open in  lots of ways offensively for easy scores. Should hopefully grow into a high-caliber SF in the class of 2028. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2405233"],"_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-66968e2bbb6c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 2028 guard exploded in the 2nd half when I watched him against M14. Very strong for someone his age and used that physicality to make strong finishes attacking the rim. Drew several fouls in the process. 20+ point showing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2465620"],"_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-66968e2bbb70d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><p style="margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-left: 0px;font-style: normal;font-size: 13px;line-height: normal">The lengthy SG was very productive Friday night for M14 Gold. Forced numerous turnovers defensively vs Big3. Also displayed a nice shooting stroke for someone his age as he buried numerous outside shots. Really got hot at the end of the opening half with three 3-pointers in a row. Outscored Big3 by himself in that frame. Showed he can also score inside wi to a put-back unity in transition as well as a turnaround floater. Will attend Benet Academy next fall. Love the potential in this kid.</p></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":"Kellen Collins","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2075622' first='M14' last='Hoops'] 2028 Gold","_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-66968e2bbb79d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An elite floor general who makes him team so much better. His footwork and ball-handling abilities are superb for someone his age. Dropping dimes all over the floor and breaking past opponents with ease. He also showed some range later on with a corner 3-pointer in the corner against Big3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2393606"],"_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-66968e2bbb7e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jansons already has incredible size at 6'7. When I watched him Friday, I saw him take advantage of that in a big way on the boards. Always doing his best to keep opponents off the glass. Offensively, he has good footwork with several strong finishes on the inside. Good strides in transition. Oswego product will be a name to monitor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
