<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>HIAWATHA - </strong>Five of the top players from the Kennedy Shootout on Sunday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2906399"],"_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-6a4283f07d912"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A small forward that moved to the frontcourt for Waverl-Shell Rock this weekend, [player_tooltip player_id='2906399' first='Henry' last='Ruzicka'] showed off a mixture of physical post play and finesse around the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Able to get out and run in transition, fight for a rebound, use footwork and soft touch around the rim, plus more, Ruzicka is a versatile asset to what WSR wants to do on the court. For a wing moved into the paint, Ruzicka held his own on the interior and as a screener. Perhaps the most impressive play from the senior-to-be came when he faked a DHO and took the ball to the cup for a layup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2754686"],"_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-6a4283f07d9a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An imposing presence that has had an excellent summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2246861' first='Murray' last='Elite'], [player_tooltip player_id='2754686' first='Cayson' last='Neely'] is primed for a standout senior season after transferring to Davenport North. A smooth, but also physical athlete, Neely threw down some impressive dunks in warmups -- including a reverse that he put down with ease -- and he matched up in the paint with other bigger, aggressive bigs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Also able to step out and shoot it as a three-level scorer, Neely has multiple facets to his game that could make him a Division I prospect with a big senior campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2595605"],"_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-6a4283f07da31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The top-ranked player in Iowa's class of 2028, it's easy to quickly see the high-end potential with [player_tooltip player_id='2595605' first='MarQwan' last='Morgan']. A twitchy athlete that can score, score and then score some more, Morgan's ability to create with the ball in his hands should have programs salivating at the opportunity to have him as their lead guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One to gets shots off the dribble, including a nasty step back that creates a ton of space for him to work with, Morgan is a tough guard from tip to final whistle, forcing opponents to pressure him all game long. Morgan is at his best when he's getting down hill and finishing through contact, as he wants the most efficient shots in the game -- three pointers, layups and free throws. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3682067,"_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-6a4283f07dab8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making varsity <em>and </em>getting occasional minutes for Cedar Falls last year as a freshman, Lincoln Walworth looks primed for a big sophomore jump this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Getting the starting minutes for the Tigers on Saturday, Walsworth is a large presence in the paint for the reigning state champions. A Power 4 prospect of an offensive lineman, Walslworth is fleet of foot and skilled with soft touch around the rim, able to easily backdown other smaller forwards and centers. The best part of his game, though, may be his vision and ability to pass after getting a paint touch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2419830"],"_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-6a4283f07d839"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A key part of Cedar Falls' run to the state title last year, [player_tooltip player_id='2419830' first='Mason' last='Woltz'] wasn't a leading scorer or a stat-sheet stuff for the Tigers, but his strengths as a junior should translate big time to his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A three-and-D wing that can knockdown open jumpers from the outside with ease, plus tasked with guarding Morgan, Woltz does two of the most important things on the basketball court for any team -- makes triples and defends the opposing team's best player. Though Morgan got his, Woltz made everything difficult for the star guard on Sunday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
