Harken is averaging 22 ppg. and has ascended to the No. 1 option for the Friars. That increased usage rate combined with the offensive skill developments Harken has displayed over the last two months have pushed his recruiting stock inside our Top 10 for the Class of 2027. His jump shot is automatic on face ups, in the mid-range and from behind the arc. Harken can also attack the rim off the bounce for points. His size and physicality enable Harken to score via post ups as well as the offensive glass. He also owns the speed, athleticism, and instincts to score in the open court. Harken's high IQ and court vision make him a creative passer.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421234"],"_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-677f073633b80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>27 to 17…</em></strong>Earlier this week, Starling's incredible sophomore campaign rolled on with a 17-point (1 three) effort during CD's win over Altoona. This athletic and multi-skilled guard is a starter for CD who averages 13 points and 5 rebounds per game. Starling can fill any role a coach needs him to play. He can serve as a primary ball handler who can direct sets, pushes the rock in transition and handles full court pressure. Or he can operate off the ball and produce points at every level. His highly accurate three-point shooting nicely compliments his attack the paint off the dribble. Plus, Starling excels at filling a lane on the fast break and then finishing at the rim. At the other end of the court, Starling is a plus defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2427312"],"_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-677f073633bc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>71 to 59…</em></strong>Over the first two months of the 2024-25 season, Udo has carved out a role for himself as an offensive sparkplug off the Westtown bench. For example, in December this quick guard and high IQ guard posted 16 points against Mercersburg Academy as well as 11 points against Compass Prep (AZ). Udo's lethal 3-point stroke is his primary weapon. He has recorded 3 or more made threes in several games over the last two months. In addition to sniping triples, Udo can use his quick first step and tight handles to get into the paint for lay-ins, floaters and kick out passes. His ability to push the rock on the fast break for scores and assists is impressive too.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2400185"],"_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-677f073633c08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>93 to 62…</em></strong>This fast and agile prospect with serious lift could always score in transition. So, it is the development in Brown's half-court skills that produced his noteworthy rise in our 2027 rankings. Specifically, it is Brown's 3-point shooting that has improved drastically. Brown has already recorded multiple games of 3 or more made threes this winter. Recently Brown knocked home 3 treys on his way to 12 points in a win over Simon Gratz. His perimeter shooting has provided needed floor spacing for the EA lineup. Brown can produce points on straight line dribble drives too. As a nice bonus, Brown is a tenacious rebounder who will capitalize on second chance opportunities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
