<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>During the Thanksgiving holiday I was able to scout high school players that played at a high level with their high school teams.

Defensively he showed flashes of good defense in the post and perimeter being able to guard multiple positions. Offensively he stretches the floor with his ability to shoot from the perimeter. Along with his ability to stretch the floor he got opportunities at the rim converting layups in half court sets and in transition situations. Legborsi currently holds an offer from Dean College (D3) but I can see him getting more before he makes his college commitment. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2251912"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2695261,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675f67713a268"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> [player_tooltip player_id='2251912' first='Evan' last='Bhatia'] is a 2027 guard that has a quick handle with the ball in his hands and can switch his pace in different situations offensively. He is a good facilitator making the right reads especially in the half court. With his facilitating he didn't make too many mistakes against Cypress Ranch. Offensively he shot the ball well from the perimeter hitting multiple of those opportunities for Bush High School. Evan is a part of a talented pool of guards in the class of 2027 and should have a bright future ahead. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1514253"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675f67713a2e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1514253' first='Samuel' last='Johnson'] positions himself well to get rebounds on both ends of the floor. Offensively he had plenty of good finishes in the paint against the Dallas Skyline Raiders. In the post he does a good job of getting open shielding off defenders before his teammates feed him in that area making it easier to convert plays for himself. Samuel will continue to get looks from college coaches as he holds an offer from Centenary College (D3). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2554933"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2695262,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675f67713a33f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2554933' first='Tiki' last='Cowans'] is an athletic big standing at 6'8 that impacted the game with his offensive rebounding. With his offensive rebounding he created a lot of second chance opportunities for himself and his team. At times you would see Tiki soar above opposing players for offense rebounds which changed the momentum of the game against the Washington War Eagles. During the game he had a huge put-back dunk that got the crowd even more involved. Tiki can definitely help a program with his hustle and high motor as a rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
