Oladotun also decided to class up and will finish out his HS career in Montgomery County at Blake. The explosive scorer can fill it up from all three levels but has made improvements to his handle that allow him to see the floor better as a wing that can be a secondary creator at the next level. With his blend of scoring, secondary play-making, and defense-- Blake will have their eyes focused on a Montgomery County Championship and a deep playoff run with a veteran group around the consensus top-10 player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782660"],"_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-68f005b92cc4c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Samuels steps into his senior season ready to prove that he can lead the Mustangs to a WCAC championship with arguably the most talented roster that we've seen in Forrestville. A prolific scorer whose finalists include the likes of Alabama and Georgetown, Samuels has proven that he produces on a nightly basis against the best of the best. This year he will need to lead the charge for his group from a vocal leadership standpoint at the defensive end of the floor, as they will likely have the offensive firepower to compete with anyone in the country this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782683"],"_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-68f005b92cd11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Don't know that anyone in the area had a better summer than the explosive Carroll PG on the EYBL circuit with Durant. I thought that the Vanderbilt commit deserved to be 1st Team WCAC last season and expect that slight to stoke a fire that has been burning bright for the past year. But Brown should be on the short list for league POY if he leads the Lions to a top-5 finish, and I think that is fully within reach as they added a ton of depth to their frontcourt and have improved defensively as a unit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782657"],"_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-68f005b92cdbb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-The electric scoring PG enjoyed a productive and efficient summer on the circuit with NW. The A&amp;M commit can really fill it up from all 3 levels and is starting to understand how he can utilize his scoring gravity to create for others off the bounce. Mundey has long been the most consistent source of 20 point scoring in the area by how frequently he earns trips to the line but also mixes that in with high-level iso scoring. I expect that momentum to push him towards an All-Met slot if things go to plan this season as Mundey heads into his senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782594"],"_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-68f005b92ce7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Collingwood absolutely blew up during the last two AAU live periods and saw his recruitment soar to include offers from several HM conference schools. That decision will be announced this Thursday between Mississippi State, Michigan State, and Ohio State. Expect the senior to be the leading scorer and vocal leader for a Sidwell group that has infused young talent into a group that will be seeking another MAC championship and deep DCSAA run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782655"],"_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-68f005b92cf26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-The Indiana commit has started to refine some of the point guard skills that he will need to take with him to the next level to succeed in the Big 10. Moody has the ball on a string, can create for himself without a ball screen in the halfcourt, and is a dynamic downhill driver in the halfcourt. His ability to knock down threes and facilitate the ball skipping to opposite sides consistently will be pivotal to the Mustangs' success. Think he is being overlooked as a WCAC POY candidate right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1891144"],"_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-68f005b92cfdb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Huan has the greatest chance to leapfrog his peers this season with more consistent play as he is now the undisputed focal point of things for Georgetown Prep. He re-aggravated a knee injury that sidelined him after several high-level national team performances and had to sit out the rest of the summer but is now ready to go in a pretty wide open year for the IAC. A dynamic shot-blocker that can also finish at a high level around the basket while running the floor-- I expect Huan to have a big year for Coach Blue and Co this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2453740"],"_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-68f005b92d08f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-We haven't been able to see a ton of Ibe this summer as he dealt with a few lower body injuries but still remain high on his long term outcomes as a prospect. A sturdy shot-blocker that can finish plays around the basket, rebound, and pass out of the low post-- he will step into a much bigger role this season with the graduation of several key pieces around him. Mt. Zion will go as he goes this season with a national schedule that will have him facing off against semipros, prep schools, and top high school teams from across the country. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782591"],"_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-68f005b92d137"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Cannady has shown the ability to be a pretty electric point guard with the ball in his hands more often in new threads at Mt. Zion. He had a huge shooting performance in Philly this weekend (34p 10/18 FG 8/12 3P) that seems like a harbinger of things to come as the Warriors took care of one of Philly's best private school teams. If he can prove that he can use that scoring gravity to create for others at a high level off the bounce-- I expect his recruitment to pick up in the following months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782654"],"_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-68f005b92d1c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">-Meeks steps into a huge role for DeMatha this season with the departure of several key pieces to graduation and transfer. He will have all the opportunity in the world to prove that he can lead a team and defend at a high level while scoring consistently to give DM the best chance to win. With his ability to score in bunches and DeMatha's penchant for guarding the basketball, you won't be able to count the Stags out this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
