In this article we'll take a look at five small forwards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617820"],"_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-66f4a065aeb20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The GCL-South player of the year as a Junior is a great piece for a Moeller program that has been as successful as any in Ohio this century. A high IQ wing who can shoot, move without the ball and play with strength. Kazanecki initially got on our radar playing on the prep hoops circuit with Team Greatness and we've followed him closely for well over a year. Kazanecki's recruitment seems fairly open at this stage with offers from Dartmouth, Miami (Oh) and Akron plus visits to Furman and Eastern Kentucky, Kazanecki has plenty of options at this stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2419933"],"_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-66f4a065aeb80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holley just came to the Prep Hoops Expo where he put on a show with his athleticism and powerful dunks. One of the youngest players in the 2025 class, Holley screams upside. A sleeper compared to a lot of other prospects in his range of the rankings, Holley should be a known product in northeast Ohio and beyond. Hoping Holly can get the deserved buzz we think he's capable of producing, lots of talent on this wing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2054732"],"_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-66f4a065aebc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another former prep hoops circuit star, Riep made a ton of noise with Elite Mentality these past few years. A big time athlete, Riep had his breakout performance at our Ohio State Tournament in May. I liked seeing Riep in an open setting like Elite Mentality and a half-court setting at Oak Hills. Being able to play both styles will be crucial as he prepares for the college level. With offers from Kentucky Wesleyan and Fairmont State, Riep has gained interest from some of the top Division II programs in the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2476476"],"_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-66f4a065aebff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the best overall athletes in Ohio, Coleman is a two sport stud on the hardwood and gridiron. While he holds an Ashland offer for his basketball talent, Coleman has blown up on the gridiron this fall and earned a national ranking on ON3 after being offered by numerous power conference programs. Seems unlikely Coleman will play college basketball which means fans need to tune in to him this winter with Warren G Harding one last time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1718518"],"_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-66f4a065aec3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The partnership of Waleskowski and [player_tooltip player_id='1462534' first='Jacob' last='Wassler'] seem inseparable as the duo have played together for St Xavier and on the grassroots level for as long as I've known about them. While Wassler just committed to Bellarmine, Waleskowski remains unsigned as he is one of the elite shooters in the region. We'll see if they can lead the Bombers past Kazanecki and GCL South rivals Moeller this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
