<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ahead of the upcoming high school basketball season we wanted to dive into a group of ranked prospects that might not be talked about enough and are under the radar heading

can play on and off the ball.  Plus shooter from beyond the three point line that can also get in the lane for soft touch finishes and acrobatic layups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daughtery has been an excellent scorer every time we have seen him play during the high school season.  He is an electric three level scorer that is one of the biggest sleepers out of the Rockford area in the 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grieves is a lead guard that showed glimpses of what he could do last season on a stacked Metamora squad.  He was asked to run the show and get his plethora of weapons involved which he did very well.  We expect to see more of a complete game out of him this season.</p> <!--

knock down shots from beyond the arc with consistency off the bounce and from beyond the arc.  Has a nose for the basketball and making plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gryzmala took a step forward in his game as the summer went along with Illinois Orange.  The Althoff lead guard plays the game with a lot of flair with his passing getting others involved.  Also is a creative scorer with the rock in his hands knocking in pull up jumpers and soft touch finishes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

with the ability to get in the lane and to the charity stripe.  Could be in for a big year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
