GBCA Live: 2028 Notable Forwards

Tenaje is very effective. He doesn't get an overwhelming amount of paint touches, but when he does, he is usually productive. Even if the offense isn't running through him, Freeman makes a splash with his interior presence. The rim protector eliminates easy looks inside and can vacuum up rebounds. Against Woodstock, Tenaje scored on a pair of putbacks and had a pretty baby hook through contact. Freeman posted 6 points, 7 rebounds 2 assists and 4 blocks. College programs should start gravitating around the big man.     Frank does not look like a high schooler, let alone a rising junior. Jamieson is a mountain of a man with true grown man strength. He's built like a collegiate big man with a strong upper body equipped with big shoulders and physicality. He's slightly raw offensively, but when Frank sticks his body on you, he can seal deep for post feeds. His offensive arsenal is still developing, but right now he can score on dump-offs and is effective scoring over his left shoulder. Jamieson totaled 4 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block in a win over Morgan County.     The lefty caught my eye with his shooting touch against South Paulding. Perry sank a high post jumper followed by a three-pointer as he finished with 7 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assist and 1 steal in a win. Nathaniel was active on the glass against South Paulding's bigger front court. Perry's stretch ability could end up being utilized well in high ball screens.     Tyler brought a hard hat and lunch pail mentality to Model against Kennesaw Mountain. The serviceable big man used his strength and effort to hunt down offensive rebounds. He scored on three And-1s, finishing with 11 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. The banger will play a big role inside for the Blue Devils in their zone defense. Offensively, he'll be effective catching and scoring from the dunker spot.     Nate is a grinder. The undersized post presence is a workhorse inside. He battles for rebounds against taller players, tenaciously grabbing caroms thanks to his springy vertical. His toughness and physicality wear down the opposition. Elliot is a true garbage guy, the type of player who doesn't need plays called for him in order to make a major contribution. In a win against Mays, Nate chipped in 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal.     The Westover frontcourt was a positive in a loss to Hart County. Dontral finished around the rim and got on the glass for putbacks. The long, lean forward also stepped outside to hit a three, finishing with 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. Only a junior, Walton is a sneaky prospect that has some tools to work with.
