Baylor showcases a nice mid-range game when he pulls it out of his arsenal at times. Jaden will get the ball to the rack quite easily at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Baylor is back to lead a talented Panthers squad in the Upstate this season. Jaden averaged 12.3 ppg and 6.4 rebounds last season. Abbeville HS made the drop down in classification this season to Class 1A. The Panthers generally get a late start on the hoops season with football always looking to make a deep run into the playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1498248"],"_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-66bcc1829fb43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caden is getting plenty of looks on the gridiron for the Bulldogs in the fall. Ramsey brings a good set of footwork and hands to the table with his play down low. Caden runs the floor very well and fills the lanes in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caden does a nice job of keeping the ball up after claiming it off the glass. He has no problems playing through contact down in the paint and posting up with his back to the basket. Caden averaged 17.7 ppg and 10.9 rebounds a season ago for the Bulldogs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1892777"],"_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-66bcc1829fb87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rollinson plays the game going to the basket. The very bouncy and athletic Rollinson excels in the transition game. Justin plays the game at times like a pogo stick. He shows to have a nice mid-range game when he starts to use it for the Bulldogs. Rollinson is just another piece to a talented Panthers team on the hardwood this season after football ends. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1848632"],"_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-66bcc1829fbdc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Odom made the move to the Hornets this season after attending Keenan HS. Tony really looks to work on the defensive end of the floor with his constant ball pressure. He does a nice job of creating space for his shot while on the floor. He connects on open looks. Odom should really make a name for himself this season playing at the Class 1A level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314263"],"_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-66bcc1829fc31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams has been the leader of the Tigers programs the past few years already it seems. The slender-sleek guard from the Lower State must get stronger with the ball in his hands at times. He has the green light to let go when he is on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2211021' first='Terrance' last='McFadden']</strong> - Bethune-Bowman HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McFadden is an undersized post who shows to have good hands down on the block. Terrance could be used as a mover-screener at times for the Mohawks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2260431' first='Gavin' last='Hood']</strong> - Great Falls HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hood and the Red Devils took the month of June off it seems this summer. Gavin will be a player to keep an eye on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Don't forget about the Carolina Showcase Expo on SUNDAY September 8, 2024, in Rock Hill, SC.
