Prep Hoops The Stage – Six 17u Stock-Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What a weekend it was on the Prep Hoops Circuit. The Stage turned out to be one of our best events yet. Not only was the talent level excellent featuring several shoe-circuit teams, but there were multiple college coaches in the gym every day, Top 150 national prospects to watch, an elite crew of Prep Hoops scouts in attendance, and the event was just ran very well overall. Content and exposure are at the forefront of everything we do at Prep Hoops and we hit a home run with The Stage. Throughout the coming week we will have a ton of content recapping the weekend. Top performers, stock-risers, All-Tournament teams, notebooks, and much more. Here are some of the top stock-risers from the 17u level at the Pacers Athletic Center.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3597302"],"_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-69e8e261bbafc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I tweeted about Curtis' upside over the course of the weekend and he continued to impress throughout The Stage. The bouncy, 6'8"-6'9" center for [program_tooltip program_id='2076924' first='EG10' last=''] 17u is a highly intriguing above-the-rim threat. He can finish lobs, has some explosiveness out of the dunker's spot, and can elevate to offensive rebound. College programs in search of a big man should absolutely be tracking Curtis' development this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2129321"],"_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-69e8e261bbb7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dixon displayed his dynamic playmaking ability for Team Soil 17u this weekend at The Stage and quickly played his way into an offer from Saint Francis. The 6'1" point guard had an excellent season at South Bend Adams and is set to transfer to South Bend St. Joseph for his senior season. He will be a playmaker that college coaches will be watching closely this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140379"],"_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-69e8e261bbbc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big guys are always going to attract a good deal of attention. Size is at a premium in college basketball, across all levels, so guys like Gordon will at least get a look. This weekend at The Stage he displayed his continued improvement. He stepped out and made a three-point shot, scored with a soft touch over his left shoulder, and rebounded his area well. The 6'10" center from Brownsburg High School and [program_tooltip program_id='2400093' first='Indiana' last='Elite Team Tradition'] 17u is one to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2872834"],"_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-69e8e261bbc0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sticking with the big man theme, Hunter was one of the top out-of-state names that I had the chance to see at The Stage. Playing with Inspire U 17u, the 6'6" center out of Michigan finished on the roll, cleaned up on pubacks, and was very comfortable with his back to the basket throughout the weekend. Another excellent small college prospect for coaches to take a look at. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140441"],"_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-69e8e261bbc52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fresh off of winning a Class 3A State Championship with Cathedral High School, Rodgers came to the stage and played well for [program_tooltip program_id='2076451' first='D1' last='Indiana'] P32 17u. The athletic, left-handed guard made several catch-and-shoot three-point shots over the course of the weekend, finished consistently in transition, and caused some havoc on the defensive end of the floor. He will be one for small college programs to follow this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2622053"],"_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-69e8e261bbc97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It is always impressive how productive Winslow II is on the defensive end of the floor. In one of the games we watched this weekend of [program_tooltip program_id='3559625' first='Indiana' last='Elite Team Crossroads']. 17u, the versatile 6'3"-6'4" wing had two steals and two blocks in the first half alone. He is always creating havoc on that end of the floor. Small college programs will absolutely want to be watching this New Albany High School product this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
