<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These were a few of the prospect's who really caught my attention over the weekend at Babson College at the NEPSAC Showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341371"],"_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-685c170e8a0b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Geremia's two way game jumped off the page. He is a physical guard who does a nice job using his brute strength to bully defenders downhill. He is a threat to know down shots from behind the arc. He found others for scoring chances off their own and has no problem making others better. He has a great understanding of the game and makes winning plays that will translate to the next level. He should be a priority recruit for low major and low major plus programs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2470964"],"_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-685c170e8a11c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pemberton's electricity at the guard spot was shown often with his play. He thrives using his angles on the attacking and alluding defenders to get to different spots on the floor. He has no qualms about making a loud play. He is pesky on the defensive end which leads to steals. Pemberton was also a threat to score from deep. His ability to constantly get in the paint is one of his best traits as a prospect. Pemberton has a nice burst of athleticism for a lead guard. He should see a ton of high majors on his coattails for the year and a half. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341299"],"_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":2888783,"_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-685c170e8a1af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chess is a work-horse who is just a flat out basketball player who does whatever is needed for the good of the team. He made a living on the interior on offensive scoring grunge buckets. He never shy's away from contact and embraces it when going up for easy scoring chances. He showed that he has taken a jump from behind the arc,a place where he tended to struggle in the early stretches of his career from at times. Chess does a nice job on the defensive end and can cover multiple positions. He is a prospect who should be a priority at the MM-/LM+ level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2452977"],"_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-685c170e8a209"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arnold is a strong experienced guard who is an elder statesmen in the NEPSAC. He is a bit of a river rat on the attack and muscles defenders to different spots on the floor where he knows he can convert from. Arnold showed he can score the ball from deep. He has a good pulse of the game and can set others up for success. I like how he never gets sped up and has control of the game when the ball is in his hands. Arnold picked up two division one offers with his play and should see several other low major programs tracking him this weekend and into July. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341363"],"_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-685c170e8a24c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Egbuonu strung together another productive display. The old school forward impacts the game in all facets. He does a nice job filling the lane in transition. Egbuonu is a threat to play above the rim. He can knock down shots from behind the arc. He is a mismatch nightmare do to his versatility. Egbuonu should be a priority for high major programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341338"],"_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-685c170e8a28d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tabales lit up the gym with his perimeter display cashing in frequently from behind the arc. The shots he made from deep were very loud and had everyone's eyes in the gym focused on him. He was also able to get paint touches on the attack and showed some flashes as a scorer on the interior. He has the ability to get a bucket in the blink of an eye. Tabales picked up a few offers with his play past weekend and should be a priority for LM+/MM- schools. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2207287"],"_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-685c170e8a2cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Archbold's New England debut did not disappoint. He made plays that caught the eye frequently throughout the game I evaluated of his. He has nice positional size at the forward spot. He can take advantage of small forwards by bullying them, and if a slower forward is guarding him he can stretch them out with his shooting ability. Archbold has an active motor and is a threat to play above the rim. His best basketball is ahead of him and should see the results of moving back a year pay dividends to his development. He is a prospect who should see a bunch of new colleges get involved in his recruitment with the move into 2027. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
