<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Ohio Sophomore showcase brought out over 80 prospects to Columbus from the class of 2027.

One of the most skilled forwards in Ohio, Keyes can do a lot with the ball in his hands at his size. Despite being a bigger bodied kid, Keyes has nimble feet and used the euro step to score around his defender multiple times in transition. Also a good shooter from the outside, Keyes knocked down a handful of 3-pointers off the dribble as well. One of the top players in Ohio's 2027 class, Keyes will make a big impact at St Thomas Aquinas in Louisville this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2453406"],"_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-66c5ed5f90e5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gill was another one of the higher ranked kids in attendance on Sunday and made his impact on both ends of the court. One of the better wing athletes in the 2027 class in Ohio, Gill has elite open court speed and explosiveness. I thought Gill finished with his left hand at a high level at the rim. Defenders also found it difficult to keep Gill out of the lane with the dribble drive game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2370700"],"_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-66c5ed5f90ea1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James flat out played harder than a lot of the other guards in attendance on Sunday. A kid who just flat out competes every time I watch him, James has become one of my favorite players to watch in the 2027 class. Showing some explosiveness as a driver, James had a big dunk and was living in the paint as a driver. A name to know from Toledo's 2027 class, James will be a key piece for Toledo St John's if they want to compete in the loaded Toledo/Detroit Catholic league.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532422"],"_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-66c5ed5f90edd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A new name, Olson immediately stood out as a perimeter scorer. Few players shot as efficiently from 3-point range as Olson did on Sunday. With a quick release and the confidence to shoot off the catch or dribble, Olson was scorching the nets on Sunday. I also thought Olson played with a sense of urgency off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2525594"],"_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-66c5ed5f90f17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Balcomb played with nice explosiveness with a strong body for a wing forward. Also knocking down a handful of perimeter shots off the catch, there's multiple areas of the game where I'm intrigued with Balcomb. With this being my first time watching him, I'll be curious to see how he looks either in a high school or grassroots game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
