He holds multiple offers in football and his basketball recruiting is starting to pick up. He is easily the biggest and strongest player in the state and as a Sophomore it is an easy bet that he will get bigger and stronger. His skill set is growing every time he plays which makes him more dangerous as he continues to develop. Lets just call him the most dominant big in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2758658"],"_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-67c27cac412fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carrico scored 28 (6 threes) in a big win and showed that he is a player that needs to be in the stock riser conversation. His resume consists of a 10 three-point game this season, an 8 three point game this season and seveal 6 three point games. In addition being a shooter, he is a slasher as well. He can get to the rim and finishes at the goal with style. Carrico has to be in the conversation with the best shooters in the state. Numbers are speaking loud for this hooper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132840"],"_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-67c27cac41341"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2132840' first='Parker' last='Robinson'] put on a 31 point performance tonight in a big playoff win. Robinson is sniper that trolls the perimeter and knocks down shots with precision. If he can see the rim, he can make the shot. He does not need a lot of time to get his shot off and tonight was proof. He is a dual sport athlete and equally gifted in both. QB1 can throw as well as he shoots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1679403"],"_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-67c27cac413a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After being back in the lineup for just a few weeks, [player_tooltip player_id='1679403' first='Kevin' last='White'] made an immediate impact, leading his team to one of the biggest upsets of the playoffs.
