He is a versatile scorer and 3-level threat. Coaches are impressed by his natural scoring instinct and his ability to create his own shot, especially in clutch situations. Tisinger's stock has risen significantly over the past year, with his performances at HoopGroup events and his work with Caveman AAU drawing increased attention. His smooth style of play adds to his appeal. He has received offers from Cornell, Loyola Maryland, North Carolina A&amp;T, Lehigh, St. Francis, Boston U, and Robert Morris. Off the court, Tisinger's 3.7 GPA demonstrates that he's a well-rounded student-athlete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1188639"],"_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-66bf89fed13bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1188639' first='Rowan' last='Carmichael'] is beginning to attract some mid-major level Division I attention, particularly from Navy. With Carmichael, it is all about his basketball instincts and IQ. He's also a big-time scorer and shoots it very well from beyond the arc. That said, he isn't afraid to attack the rim and can finish with both hands. However, what catches the eye of college coaches the most is his way of distributing the ball to his teammates in position to score. Carmichael truly is an exceptional passer, especially in fast break situations. Along with some early DI interest, he is receiving plenty of DII interest from the likes of Nova SE, Gannon, and Edinboro.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398507"],"_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-66bf89fed1410"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2398507' first='Josh' last='Pratt'], a 6'2" combo guard from the class of 2026, is gaining significant Division I attention, including recent offers from Pepperdine, Hofstra, Robert Morris, and Northeastern. He is an excellent finisher at the rim, even when in heavy traffic. With Pratt, it is all about his explosive first step — at times, he really seems impossible to guard. It's this sort of athleticism that leads me to believe he will soon be getting some attention from some top-end DI programs. Pratt can score on all three levels and is a true athlete. He is one of the best Pennsylvania has to offer in the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471627"],"_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-66bf89fed1451"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2471627' first='Danny' last='Haigh'] has offers from St. Francis, Le Moyne, and Maine. Why? First, he's one of the best shooters in Western Pennsylvania with range out past the NBA line. That said, when defenders try to take away his shot, he just beats them off the bounce. Haigh is a complete scoring threat. He has the size and athleticism to compete at the DI level and is an excellent rebounder. A team player through and through, he is always willing to dive after loose balls and take charges.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1189638"],"_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-66bf89fed148d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mikey Santicola is beginning to gain some DI attention from Army, Mercyhurst, and more. He has had a huge summer and his stock is definitely rising. Santicola just has a way of getting to the rim and finishing. That said, he just as easily steps out and knocks down shots from the perimeter. Santicola is quite versatile on defense and can guard both guards and bigs. He is super tough and doesn't back down from anyone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
