Uncommitted 2025 Bigs To Keep An Eye On

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the 2024-25 season starts to take shape, let's take a look at some uncommitted seniors in the class of 2025, at the big position, that could boost their stock over the next few months with some good regular season play, before their senior seasons come to close.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421326"],"_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":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6762e37da578e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A super athletic big that plays with a relentless motor, [player_tooltip player_id='2421326' first='Khalid' last='Ousmane'] is a raw but improving two way big that's expected to be a big time contributor for the The Patrick School this year. On the defensive end, Ousmane uses his athleticism to excel as a rim protector, help side defender, and a tenacious rebounder. Offensively, Ousmane excels in pick and roll situations as a play finisher, not only as a vertical lob threat but also a finisher around the rim. Ousmane's offensive skillset can also expand to the perimeter as he's shown an improving ability to knock down the open three, whether that be in pick and pop situations or catching the ball off ball reversals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a strong senior season that will showcase his elite athleticism in combination with his improving skillset, Ousmane could see his stock continue to rise throughout the course of his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1810844"],"_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":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6762e37da57ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A steadily improving with great positional size and athleticism, [player_tooltip player_id='1810844' first='Ramon' last='Soyoye'] is a two way big man that impacts the game on both ends of the floor. Soyoye makes his presence known on the interior as a guy that can finish around the rim as well as protect the paint on the defensive end. Combine those abilities with a high motor, it's not hard to see Soyoye's impact felt on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a strong post grad year at Blair that shows a mix of his two way ability at 6'10', look for some more schools to get involved in his recruitment throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1547474"],"_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":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6765d87fc17f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With a good motor and good positional size, [player_tooltip player_id='1547474' first='Yaw' last='Ansong'] hangs his hat on being an interior presence on the defensive end. Standing at 7'0' tall, Ansong is often seen blocking shots at the rim and being active on the glass and securing rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Still improving on the offensive end and refining his game to consistently impact the game on offense, look for Ansong to put together a strong senior season that showcases not only his defensive skillset but things he's working on the offensive end.

Munro has a solid back to the basket game that showcases his good footwork and his ability to finish around the basket. Munro has also showcased an ability to not only stretch the floor and knock down the open three but also put the ball on the floor and attack slower footed bigs. Defensively, Munro makes his interior presence known as solid rim protector and a solid rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a senior season that'll showcase a diverse offensive skillset along side and his ability to protect the paint on the defensive end, we could see more schools get involved in his recruitment before his senior season comes to a close.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1889492"],"_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":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6765e3ef9899e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Possessing a unique combination of size, strength, and a very high motor, [player_tooltip player_id='1889492' first='Najai' last='Hines'] is a physically imposing interior paint presence.
