Strong frame and broad shoulders&nbsp; He was dominant on the offensive glass in their game against Fenwick.&nbsp; The senior post grabbed 9 of his incredible 16 rebounds on the offensive end.&nbsp; Many of those came of the put back variety where he high pointed the board and put it right back in.&nbsp; Passes well out of double teams and has touch around the hoop.&nbsp; Solid rim protector that swatted shots.&nbsp; Stock definitely went up after this performance as he had 13 points, 16 rebounds, and 3 blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2724288' first='Nathaniel' last='Marshall'] (Fenwick)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marshall will be playing football in college at Michigan being one of the premier football prospects in the state.&nbsp;

Very productive player that is positionless.&nbsp; Not really a wing not really a big.&nbsp; He is just a basketball player that gets stuff done.&nbsp; Dominant showing on the glass especially on the defensive end clearing the boards in bunches.&nbsp; Also had a couple put backs on the offensive side.&nbsp; Acrobatic layups, euro steps, scoring on post ups, and can play above the rim.&nbsp; Good defender that plays with a high activity level.&nbsp; He had 15 points (7-11 FG), 16 rebounds, and 2 steals.&nbsp; Will be a good glue guy at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1385284' first='Keyshawn' last='Barfield'] (Lincoln Park)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Big bodied five man that has a nice right handed hook shot.&nbsp;

He struggled finishing which is rare for him, but he did a nice job of getting his own misses with a nice second jump.&nbsp; Really liked what he brought as a passer finding cutters and shooters.&nbsp; Also blocked shots at a high level showing more athletic pop than I previously remembered.&nbsp; He had 9 points (3-10 FG), 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2300370' first='Zach' last='Mazanowski'] (Lane Tech)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mazanowski is a long and rangy four man that has good athleticism.&nbsp;

Legit size and length.&nbsp; He is an excellent rebounder high pointing them in traffic particularly on the offensive end where he was great at keeping plays alive for second chance points grabbing seven of them.&nbsp; Like what he brings a lot as a mobile defender and rim protector swatting shots on the defensive end.&nbsp; He had 2 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2375627' first='Marquis' last='Vance'] (Marist)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vance is a small ball four that was a monster on the offensive glass recording four of them in their win.&nbsp;

He is an undersized four that was an absolute monster on the glass.&nbsp; He has a strong frame, long arms, and relentless motor.&nbsp; A lot of his points come off his energy on the glass.&nbsp; Connective passer.&nbsp; Struggled shooting it as he didn't make any of his five attempts from beyond the arc.&nbsp; Went for 8 points (4-13 FG), 15 rebounds, and 3 assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2688322' first='Zach' last='Ausburn'] (Warren)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ausburn put his name on our radar with a nice performance.&nbsp; Broad shouldered four man that brings physicality on the glass.&nbsp; Snatches rebounds in traffic on both ends.&nbsp; Got put backs and finished well out of the dunker spot.&nbsp; He had 13 points (5-9 FG) and 10 rebounds.&nbsp; Good small college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1385297' first='Jonas' last='Johnson'] (DePaul Prep)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson had a strong showing in DePaul Prep's win against Mater Dei.&nbsp;

He is a freak athlete forward that can play above the rim as he threw down multiple nasty alley-oop jams.&nbsp; Also decked it well from the high post winning on drives on spin moves and euro steps.&nbsp; Knocked in a pick/pop three late.&nbsp; Did struggle turning it over 6 times in the game and left some points at the line, but overall we thought it was an excellent effort for Munoz showcasing his skills going for 22 points (8-12 FG) and 11 rebounds.&nbsp; The more we hear from college coaches and after this performance he is looked at as a high energy and athletic four man.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1439013' first='Julien' last='Doyle'] (Simeon)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Doyle earned the game MVP award for their win over Chaminade.&nbsp;

Finished with 14 points (6-8 FG), 5 rebounds, and 4 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
