<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The summer is rapidly coming to a close, and the club circuit will be winding down over the next few weeks. Here are several prospects to watch out for as we approach the upcoming weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2889455' first='Gus' last='Stewart']-Small Forward-Clinton-6'5” 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the next few years, Stewart is going to be a player to watch out for on the floor. He shoots the ball well from all three levels on the floor. Meanwhile, Stewart will battle for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Stewart plays with a high motor on both ends of the floor. He is a player to watch out for in the future. Look out for him during the high school basketball season as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2021880' first='JJ' last='Andrews']-Small Forward-Little Rock Christian-6'7” 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The versatility that Andrews possesses has been on display all summer on the club circuit. Throughout the course of the summer, he has continued to raise the intensity on the defensive end of the floor. Andrews gets into the paint with ease and can finish above the rim. He will fill up the stat sheet in the blink of an eye. The Little Rock Christian forward is a prospect to watch out for as the club circuit winds down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2441317' first='Ethan' last='Polite']-Point Guard-North Little Rock-6'4” 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2441317' first='Ethan' last='Polite'] has exploded onto the scene over the past few months for the Charging Wildcats. He has not slowed down one bit this summer. Polite has controlled the tempo and knows when to attack the opposing defense. Polite is another prospect who can fill up the stat sheet in the blink of an eye. He handles the ball well and seems to always know where the open shooter is on the floor. Polite is a prospect to watch out for over the next couple of seasons for North Little Rock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2021901' first='Derrick' last='Hudson']-Power Forward-Fayetteville-6'7” 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2021901' first='Derrick' last='Hudson'] is a prospect who can completely take over the paint on both ends of the floor. He has a knack of finishing above the rim on a consistent basis. Hudson will battle in the paint on both ends of the floor. He shoots the ball well and does a great job of moving without the basketball. Hudson is a player to watch out for over the weekend in Texas. He has the potential to open plenty of eyes during the upcoming high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
