<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of the prospects who are the front runners to win the POY award in southeastern Pennsylvania's Inter-Ac League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2235863"],"_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-6735f97852b7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This LSU commit is the No. 1 rated prospect in our Class of 2025 rankings as well as the reigning Inter-Ac Player of the Year and a Top 75 prospect nationally. Gilhool is a stretch-4 style prospect who averaged 14.8 points to go along with 10 rebounds per night during his junior campaign. He owns an accurate jump shot with 3-point range, is a tremendous pick-n-roll player and can score on the low blocks. Gilhool runs the floor well, so he is a transition threat too. Gilhool can also operate out of the high post as scoring threat or distributor. His size, positioning skills and non-stop motor enable Gilhool to dominate the boards at both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1454260"],"_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-6735f97852bd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In 2023-24 Graham posted an epic freshman season. He was a starter for the Fords who averaged 15.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5 assists per game. That stat line earned Graham 1st Team All-Inter-AC as well as 2nd Team All State selections. But Graham was just getting started. He went on to dominate the spring / summer grassroots circuits as well as the June live period. This fall he was a standout performer at marquee showcases such as the Never Forget Classic as well as the CoBL Interstate Shootout. Graham is a two-way playmaker who can score at all three levels, facilitate for teammates, and rebound. He owns a high IQ, tight handles, fantastic court vision and is sneaky explosive. That list of assets allows Graham to thrive on the fast break.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2028258"],"_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-6735f97852c22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As a junior McCarthy averaged 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. That stat line earned him a 2^nd Team All-Inter-Ac nod after last season. For 2024-25 McCarthy has ascended to the No.1 option at EA, so we are expecting an even bigger senior campaign from this FGCU commit. McCarthy is a two-way floor general who can handle the rock, score, distribute, and play tenacious defense. The development in McCarthy' scoring skills over the last six months has been remarkable. McCarthy is now a legitimate three level scorer who can produce points in bunches. He will definitely be a stock riser in our next Class of 2025 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1136565"],"_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-6735f97852c68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">West is the No. 6 ranked prospect in our 2025 rankings as well as a Northwestern commit. During his stellar junior year West averaged 14.3 points to go along with 5 assists per game and was a 1^st Team All-Inter-Ac selection. West is a versatile point guard who does an incredible job of balancing his own scoring with getting teammates involved. On half-court possessions West can direct designed sets, operate in pick-n-roll action, score off dribble drives and pop threes. He is also fast, owns nifty handles and can explode to the basket. That trifecta makes West a transition phenom. West values the basketball and possesses a high basketball IQ, so Coach Collins at Northwestern is going to love this kid.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
