Linsly School: Player Previews

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Linsly School is a private institution located in Wheeling WV. Linsly athletics have a tradition of high level performance and standards and basketball is no exception. With a mix of local Ohio Valley kids, Pittsburgh metro area kids and international kids typically donning the basketball roster for several years and now with a legendary coach at the helm, you can certainly expect a high quality product on the floor. Listed are player profiles for what Linsly expects will be their key players starting the year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2114397' first='D'arrae' last='Goodwin'] as we all know by now has signed and sealed his future at University of San Diego with his basketball future. Goodwin who's had a more than notable rise from "player with potential" to mid major Division I signee. Enough probably can't be said for his progress year to year to get to this point. Goodwin has every skill and tool available and knows how to use them. D'arrae started his career at Linsly learning how to beat and bang on the boards with putbacks and zipping outlet passes. Two years later as a senior he can play any position on the floor offensively as well as guard 1-5 defensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2319940' first='Ruben' last='Salazar'] is one of the best players in WV you don't know about. Salazar is getting Ivy League type attention and for good reason. He is 6'6" and handles the ball through traffic and under ball pressure like someone 6'0". He's a great playmaker as well as explosive off the dribble himself with regularly dunking in traffic driving the lane. Look for him to have a likely handful of lower level DI offers by season's end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2319942' first='Uros' last='Petrusic'] is likely a "project" of sorts at this stage, but he couldn't be in a better position to develop than at Linsly with coach Wojcik, as coach has shown he understands the development of bigs and Uros will be no different. At 6'9" Petrusic still could grow into a 6'10" or bigger body, has some muscle tone to add and will have to continue to work on his feet and agility. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2691244' first='Taj' last='Rea'] is regarded as a knockdown shooter and looking to gain some experience at Linsly's varsity level. Taj is a skilled guard who has a legit chance to start immediately for the Cadets according to coach Wojcik.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2691173' first='Adam' last='Gill'] is yet another guard who will add needed depth for the Cadets. Gill an accomplished golfer for the Cadets, will bring his hoops skill and experience to the hardwood and give the Cadets a needed boost. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2691253' first='Jaxon' last='Murray'] is a four year player for the Cadets and will compete for one of the five starting spots. Murray has a ton of experience in the program as well as played alot of Linsly basketball under coach Wojcik.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2691230' first='Biram' last='Ndiaye'] is a newcomer to the program and is classified as an incredible scorer and knock down shooter. Coach Wojcik has big expectations for the 6'0" guard and expects him to be a starter coming in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
