<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2459359' first='Jisaiah' last='Bryant'] is the definition of a “do-it-all” wing and one of the more versatile pieces in the state. At 6'5, he impacts the game in several ways. He scores at all three levels. He crashes the glass. He defends multiple positions with toughness and consistency.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bryant plays with a high motor and a physical edge that translates well to the next level. He consistently finds ways to produce. He knocks down perimeter shots. He attacks downhill. He cleans up possessions on the boards. His ability to contribute across the board makes him a true Swiss Army knife type of player.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Bryant was a 1,000-point scorer and a 1st Team All-Region selection. He built a strong résumé at Liberty Christian. He earned multiple college offers before ultimately committing to Randolph-Macon. He should be a seamless fit in their system. He has the tools to make an early impact with his versatility. His toughness and winning approach will also contribute.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Connor Lavin stands at an impressive 6'10. He brings a valuable combination of size, strength, and skill. This translates well to the college level. He's a true interior presence who plays with great feel, understands positioning, and consistently impacts both ends of the floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Offensively, Lavin has soft touch around the rim, strong hands, and the ability to finish through contact. He does a great job sealing, carving out space, and making the right reads out of the post. What stands out just as much is his unselfishness. He's a willing passer. He keeps the ball moving and plays within the flow of the offense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Defensively, he anchors the paint as a reliable rim protector and rebounder. His size alone alters shots, but his timing and discipline make him even more effective. Lavin was a key contributor at Woodberry Forest. He should be a foundational piece for Randolph College. They continue to build within the ODAC.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">What also stands out is his defensive intensity—he plays aggressively, gets into passing lanes, and competes on that end. Heading to Virginia Wesleyan, Cropper brings a blend of scoring, athleticism, and competitiveness. This should allow him to make an immediate impact. He will continue to develop into a high-level contributor.</p>
