--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This was probably the best we have seen Redento play since the season ended.  At 6'5” the 2027 wing brings a lot of length, athleticism, and projectability.  He is a defender that can check multiple positions.  Like what he showed as a secondary connector.  Displayed some pop off the bounce including a strong baseline spin move and did nail a three although the jumper was a little up and down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boyd is ready for a big season at Metro East Lutheran.  The 6'5” shooting guard brings plus positional size to the table.  He has a slick euro step and when he is in attack mode can be dangerous.  Really good glue guy that on a good team can do a little bit of everything.</p>

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Porter is a 6'3” 2027 wing that has good length.  The mobility and athleticism on the perimeter caught our attention along with his ability to get on the glass on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">George is a big and physical 6'7” mauler on the interior.  Absolutely owns the glass as he is an intimidating force inside with his size, strength, and tenacity that he plays with.  His strength is rebounding, being a big body in the paint defensively, and converting inside.  Old school post.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collins is a massive body from Evanston in the 2027 class that might project best as a football player.  He told us he was coming off a scrimmage the night before.  Below the rim big man that is great at boxing out and getting put backs on the offensive glass.  Solid footwork from the big man.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gorges goes 6'5” as a big man that seems to have slimmed down since we last saw him in the summer.  Skilled game from 15 feet and in.  Reverse layup showing nice footwork and touch.  Sweet looking hook shot as well.  He is a 2027 post to track!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hadley is a 5'11” 2027 long and rangy guard that can play on and off the ball.  When off the ball like how he cuts for scores off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
