<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania (and beyond) who impressed this weekend at the Black Cager Classic. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1550115"],"_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-6703326531818"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bobb's physical assets -- speed, length, and athleticism -- jump out right away. But it is the continued growth in his offensive skills that impressed on Sunday. Each time Bobb takes the floor it appears he has added a new wrinkle to his game. This weekend it was his low post scoring that surprised opponents and fans. Bobb executed several nice spin moves as well as up-n-unders on the low blocks for buckets. Bobb also scored in close via quick flip shots and the offensive glass. When he was outside the paint, Bobb splashed mid-range jumpers as well as threes. &nbsp;On defense, Bobb was a plus rebounder and blocked shots from the weak side.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1230538"],"_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-670332653188d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conlon's versatile offensive skill set as well as his high IQ were on display at the Black Cager event. He scored at every level but was especially effective with his jump shot. Conlon found success operating from the perimeter, the elbows, and the blocks.  He flashed the ability to score in transition too. Conlon's creative passing and work on the glass turned heads as well. At the other end of the floor, Conlon was an excellent team defender who was continuously connected with his DP teammates. It is easy to see why D3 powerhouses like Swarthmore have expressed interest in this stretch-4 prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2514001"],"_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-67033265318dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In 2023-24 Jones was a reserve for a deep ACC squad that won 21 games and captured the District 11-4A title. This fall has marked the beginning of his breakout stretch of play. At the Black Cager event he displayed a versatile skill set and extraordinary athleticism. Jones worked as a point guard, shooting guard and small forward. When he was the primary ball handler, Jones pushed the rock in transition for scores and assists. In the half-court he navigated his way past defenders off the dribble for lay-ins. At the two-guard spot he drained threes and slashed to the cup from the wing. Jones even flashed small forward skills as he scored off drop steps and worked the offensive glass for put backs through contact. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1888864"],"_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-670332653191e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelly is a smooth lefty who did it all for SCH. He popped threes, scored off the bounce, distributed and crashed the boards. At times he initiated SCH's offense as a point-forward style prospect. On other possessions he played off the ball as a shooting guard or hybrid-forward. In all those scenarios the combination of his size and skills presented serious match-up issues for opponents. Kelly's ability to find creases in the defense for open looks was impressive. He got out on the fast break and then finished through contact too. His high IQ and unselfish mindset were evident as well. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
