2027 Post Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Much discussion of post players and bigs being a position of the past and a lost art as a player. But we're here to tell you differently with this class as they have some great post playing bigs that set the tone game in and game out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2623927' first='Koang' last='Bol Kuany'] has came to WV in the form of a transfer to Huntington Prep and has made the most of his time here. Bol Kuany has quickly built his reputation as a fleet footed 7 footer who cleans the glass and is a fierce rim protector. Very recently there's been much talk about him working his way into being recruited by high level SEC teams who have already put eyes on him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2690991' first='Konnor' last='Fox'] made the Charleston Civic Center the site of his coming out party where everyone got to see first hand his size and impressive mobility. Fox showed many glimpses of greatness but also the flecks of youth scattered in his game, but nobody doubted the incredible potential that awaits. Fox has already impressed on the AAU spring circuits playing as a monster in the paint and elevating his assertiveness with the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2434245' first='Kaleil' last='Lewis'] is the best two-way athlete on this list we believe as he's being looked at a prospect in football as a wide receiver/tight end hybrid with his large but athletic frame. Lewis is a basketball player that understands his role and uses his muscle, bulk and athleticism to overcome bigger players on both ends. A board crasher and inside bucket getter is what you'll see if you watch Lewis. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2345856' first='Nymir' last='Bryant'] is a much improved basketball player throughout the last twelve months. His feet and ability to get to the ball rebounding is excellent but maybe partially untapped. Bryant has an incredibly high ceiling that could be found 3-4 years down the road, which is a good thing. Bryant is possibly the best rebounder in WV and if he finds consistency in his offensive game in the paint he'll be in incredible force. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2496407' first='Collin' last='Crouch'] is one of the most dynamic players on the list. Crouch is a tough player to guard because he scores at so many different angles, depths and levels. What we love is his mid-post and mid-range work with the ball. He's very comfortable anywhere on the floor with the ball from 15 feet and in. Its definitely not typical to see a sophomore with that kind of approach to the game with the ability to score so many places on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2470012' first='Gideon' last='Good'] is a rising pure center who showed remarkable improvement since we saw him last June in Morgantown. The first thing we noticed was his work on his body adding some much needed muscle and bulk. Secondly, Good showed some real toughness and assertiveness in the paint rebounding and blocking shots, as a matter of fact, blocking eleven shots in the state tournament quarterfinal in March which tied the event record. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2840106' first='Charlie' last='Long'] is likely the least known on this list as he doesn't play for what anyone would consider a basketball juggernaut, however that could change soon. Long showed a ton of upside when we saw him in person this past February. Great paint presence along with excellent instincts with the ball. Long, like most other sophomores has some work to be done, but is trending the right direction. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
