<p>This squad definitely has the highest ceiling. It starts with [player_tooltip player_id='2404186' first='Matt' last='Welch'] who is going to be their senior leader. Plus shooter from the perimeter that has improved his handle and brings toughness. [player_tooltip player_id='2454188' first='Maharri' last='Thatch'] is a solid senior guard. [player_tooltip player_id='2125660' first='Lamari' last='Carpenter'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2455373' first='Oturo' last='Redento'] are a pair of top 20 2027 wings that are primed to break out this season. They have the physical tools and skill sets as potential D1 prospects.</p>

<p>This team is built on defense and winning low scoring games. They have been successful with this for a while now and we expect that to continue this season. [player_tooltip player_id='2255121' first='David' last='Showman'] is their go to player on the wing.</p>

<p>Really liked the senior wing duo of Lucca Stella and [player_tooltip player_id='2962284' first='Freddy' last='Battaglia'] for this squad over the summer when we saw them.</p>

<p>Perfect record in conference last year, but they lost a ton! [player_tooltip player_id='2409258' first='Gabe' last='Jensen'], [player_tooltip player_id='2125574' first='Aaron' last='Masoncup'], and freshman point guard [player_tooltip player_id='2369872' first='Cody' last='Rader'] should be prospects that make noise for them this year.</p>
