NEPSAC Profiles: Avon Old Farms School

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we continue our <em>NEPSAC Profiles</em> with a look at the Avon Old Farms School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Located in Avon, Connecticut, AOF is a boarding school for boys that competes in the <em>NEPSAC A</em> division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>AOF will be led this winter by <strong><em>Rider</em></strong> commit, [player_tooltip player_id='1850270' first='Abdrahaman' last='Coulibaly'], as well as [player_tooltip player_id='2341337' first='Joel' last='Nash'], a lead guard from the class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coulibaly is a big time athlete on the wing that can guard multiple positions and put pressure on the rim off the bounce. Nash is a dynamic playmaker that can create for others, but also knows how to get his own buckets too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are six more prospects that should have a major impact for Winged Beavers:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2878917' first='Tyler' last='Bergquist']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'3" wing is a knockdown shooter from the perimeter. He's athletic, quick in the open floor, and can hold his own physically in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2569697' first='Luke' last='Everett']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long, lefty forward, Everitt has the ability to stretch the floor with his shot and continues to grow his game inside the arc. As he adds strength, he should develop as an interior scorer and defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2470892' first='Michael' last='Hoffman']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo forward in the class of 2027, Hoffman is a physically imposing underclassman. He's a quality rebounder that does a good job of scoring in the paint with a solid set of hands and impressive footwork.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2407057' first='Declan' last='Griffiths']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An impressive, three level scorer on the wing, Griffiths is one of the top underclassmen in the region. He can get it done off the bounce, plays above the rim in transition, and has the size and length to be a lockdown defender on the wing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sam Reznik</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another 6'3" wing, Reznik's calling card is his versatility. He's a good athlete, can finish through contact at the rim, and does a great job of knocking down shots as a spot up shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Christopher Skenderi</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'7", Skenderi has good size for a forward that posesses the ability to stretch the floor. He has great touch around the rim, does a good job of rim running in transition, and can play as a screen-and-roll or screen-and-pop big.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
