Saturday Under Armour Wing / Forward Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I spent the second July Live period at the UAA finals and on Saturday I caught some intense action! In this article I'll break down my wing / forward standouts from the games I caught.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2843000"],"_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-687e8d98043aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was intrigued by the future potential of Stromer due to his size, ability to move his feet and activity in the paint. Stromer scored as a roll man, had multiple putback layups and blocked a couple shots in the game I saw. Still developing some other aspects of his offensive game, Stromer seems like a player we'll be monitoring over the next few years to track his improvement.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1978099"],"_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-687e8d9804455"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The top prospect in Iowa, Colin Rice had a standout performance that brought some high major coaches to the aux site to watch him play. A wing with strong two-way impact, Rice is a defensive player who the offense must be aware of where he is at all times on the court. Rice's ability to rotate, switch onto guards and block out actions as a help-side defender make a big impact for his team. Offensively, Rice had a couple 3-pointers and had a sweet coast to coast layup that ended in a sweet spin finish at the rim. With offers from four Big 10 programs including the home state Hawkeyes, it'll be interesting to see if Rice starts to narrow down his list and make a decision</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2571757"],"_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-687e8d98044d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A wing forward who shot the ball efficiently from 3-point range all weekend, Stark has a unique offensive game due to his frame and perimeter skill. To open the second half on Saturday afternoon, Stark knocked down back-to-back triples and hit a tough fallaway jumper. Using his weight to bump into defenders to create contact and space, Stark was taking shots like the one in his profile picture and making them. Name to know in Tennessee's 2026 class, Stark is a basketball and baseball standout.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2561222"],"_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-687e8d9804550"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing up two grades, Willis stood out as one of the more natural athletes I saw all weekend. With a strong frame and explosiveness, Willis threw down an and-1 dunk and blocked a handful of shots as a help-side rim protector. Schools like Missouri, USC and Cal have already offered Willis and it was easy to see why due to his two-way impact. Name to watch in the 2028 class from southern California.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2803653"],"_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-687e8d98045d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing with Nova Village 16 U this weekend, it was nice to see how Myers fared against some top competition. Knocking down a couple 3-point shots and playing strong as a rebounder and finisher, Myers had some nice flashes in a new setting this month. Expect Myers to be dominant for River Valley next season as his sophomore year featured some impressive performances and he keeps improving. Small town prospect who could become a household name across Ohio sooner rather than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
