<p class="text-gray-700">The lone out-of-state prospect to come to “The Expo” in Indiana, Amous is ranked in the Top 100 by Prep Hoops Illinois. The 6'4″-6'5″ senior forward was a load around the basket as others had a hard time matching his strength and physicality. Amous, who attends Lincoln Park High School in Chicago, was excellent on the boards and finished several offensive rebound putbacks. He displayed soft hands and smooth footwork. in the post. Small college coaches should take a look at Amous heading into his senior season.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">The highest ranked prospect in attendance, Bolden certainly proved himself as a future college player at “The Expo.” Bolden is a 6'7″ forward that rebounds the ball as well as anyone in the class. He also has noticeably gotten more athletic as he appeared bouncier around the basket throughout the summer and at Saturday's event. The Cardinal Ritter junior appears to have improved his outside shooting stroke as well. If he can add some range to an already advanced interior game he will become even harder to stop.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Kesler used a breakout junior season and strong summer to play his way onto the radar for many in-state small college programs. The 6'3″ guard averaged 12.8 points per game and made 56 three-point shots for the Royals as a junior. His athleticism in the open floor really shined on Saturday at “The Expo.” He was explosive in transition, finished well at the end of his drives, and still flashed his shooting ability as well. Look for his stock to continue to rise.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Kobe's athleticism and ability to create his own shot really stood out to us at “The Expo” on Saturday. The 6'1″ guard looks poised to take over a larger role this season in the Portage High School backcourt that graduated a lot of production. His ability to consistently get to the basket and finish with either hand at the end of his drives was very impressive. It will be interesting to follow his development moving forward. High-upside Class of 2027 guard.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Yet another very impressive big man in attendance at “The Expo,” this Bishop Chatard forward/center dominated the glass and flashed some intriguing face-up ability. Lake is a good right hand drive from the elbows, short corner, or when facing up off of the block. He also can make mid-range, face-up jumpers in that range as well. Look for him to have a big senior season for the Trojans and continue to attract a good deal of small college attention.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Over the course of the last few months there haven't been many Class of 2027 prospects impress us as much as this 6'9″ forward/center from Bishop Chatard. McCormack is a long, lean lefty that can stretch the floor out beyond the three-point arc. He is effective inside too and can protect the rim, but that part of his game will improve even more as he gets stronger. His three-point shooting and size though make him a very intriguing prospect to follow.</p>
