This speedy guard with elusive handles has always been a walking bucket. Then during the fall and early portion of the 2024-25 season, Newson has proven that he can direct half-court sets and is willing to make the extra pass. Plus, he has taken his efforts at the defensive end to another level. He has improved as a rebounder too. Newson recently drilled 3 triples on his way to 19 points in a win over Glenelg Country School (MD).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398422"],"_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-678472b6d0a44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>No. 7...</em></strong>Last week during Bonner's win over Archbishop Wood, Francis poured in 35 points, 19 of which came in the 4^th quarter. But even before that ridiculous scoring outburst, Francis (16.5 PPG.) was one of the biggest stock risers in the latest edition of our 2027 rankings. Over the last three months has knocked down jumpers from all over the court, including logo distance threes. His ability to finish at the rim in transition as well as the half-court has improved significantly. This season Francis has also proved he can direct half-court sets and control the tempo of a game for Bonner. For an undersized guard, Francis has become a plus rebounder and is averaging 6 rpg this season. Penn State is among the schools who have recently expressed interest in Francis.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2206834"],"_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-678472b6d0a89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>No. 21...</em></strong>Lundy is posting a breakout sophomore season and college coaches have taken notice. He has earned a starting spot at Wood and is averaging 11 points, 5.4 assists and 4 rebounds per contest. Lundy recently posted 18 points (2 3PM) in a win over Wasatch (UT). Lundy is a superb transition scorer who can finish through contact or above the rim. In the half-court, his ability to get into the paint off the dribble is his primary weapon. However, over the last three months, his 3-point shooting has shown significant improvement. His court awareness and slick live dribble passing skills have made Lundy a dime dropping machine this year. Lundy recently received an offer from Radford. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2633131"],"_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-6784753ee5dd6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>No. 69..</em></strong>.Dolimpio is a speedy and athletic prospect with tremendous open court scoring skills. This season Dolimpio has displayed a more well-rounded half court skill which sent his recruiting stock upward. For example, over his last three games Dolimpio is averaging 17.6 points per game. Included in this impressive stretch was a 19-point effort against Altoona in which Dolimpio popped 3 treys. Back in December he also dropped 21 points (2 threes) on Downingtown West. Dolimpio's half-court games features a more accurate three-point stroke as well as a more fluid dribble drive moves. His basketball instincts and well-timed off ball movements are two other assets college coaches will love about Dolimpio. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
