<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This season, the junior's class has a plethora of rising stars who are making their mark on a national level. Despite not being household names on the national circuit yet, these players that will be in the next two reports have demonstrated significant potential to become impactful Division 1 prospects. They possess the skill and determination that can elevate their status with a strong spring and summer circuit performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782586"],"_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-680c6889afbc0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's strong, tough, and overwhelming physically but also offers IQ and a useful all-around skillset; excellent at getting downhill, attacking the basket, and finishing through contact. A smooth, fluid stroke and three-point range, quick release. Plays with a skill set, comfort and a feel well beyond his years. You can just tell. He has got a chance to have a productive spring and summer and gather his share of division 1 looks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1956028"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2848358,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-680c6889afc48"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An intriguing prospect and worthy of attention from college coaches. He leads by example for his high school and travel club team while making his presence felt as a defender, rebounder, and offensive catalyst scoring with finesse or physicality. &nbsp;Norcombe brings a toughness and aggressiveness that warrants attention every time he steps between the black lines.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2547300"],"_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-680c6889afca7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Love Andrew's sheer presence in the paint makes it so difficult for opposing teams to finish at the rim. More importantly, just love his approach to the game on the offensive end. Comfortable putting it on the floor or stretching the floor. Just an effortless scorer. Picks his spots and rarely forces or tries to manufacture points. Scores so well within the offense. Never gets rattled or upset. Always has a calm approach to the game. Andrew games translate well to the college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2848362,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Donovan Marshburn","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Glenelg Country Day","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680c6889afd49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Impress with his size and overall ability. Donovan is crafty off the bounce. Keeps his head up &amp; utilizes his body to create space to knock down the perimeter jumper out to 20 feet. Quick 1st step. Made plays for other in drive &amp; kick situations. Love his size and upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1963388"],"_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-680c6889afd96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryson Barrett is a diamond in the rough prospect. Possesses legit 3-man wing size and skillset. Bryton ability to score the ball off the dribble, get downhill and finish at the rim was encouraging throughout the year. Confident shooter, range comfortably out to 15 feet. Look for more schools to come his way down the road. Especially if he plays well in the June high school live period. Love his upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

This season, the junior's class has a plethora of rising stars who are making their mark on a national level. Despite not being household names on the national circuit yet, these players that will be in the next two reports have demonstrated significant potential to become impactful Division 1 prospects.
