Ohio State Team Camp: Friday 2027 Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The second day of Ohio State team camp once again brought intense action to Columbus and in this article I'll break down the 2027 standouts from the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125750"],"_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-6a2323b83df15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most productive players in the Toledo area, Stokes was getting busy this afternoon for the Hawks. Stokes did a great job finishing defensive stops with rebounds and then quickly pushed the ball up the court as a one man fast break at times. Also finding the range from the mid-range zone along the baseline, Stokes can fill it up in a hurry. With a bunch of senior talent set to return, Maumee Valley Country Day finally has experience on their side.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2415729"],"_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-6a2323b83df77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A player who has continued to improve, Wilson had a strong showing in a win over Dublin Jerome. The wing has put on quality muscle over the past year and is playing stronger in the paint as a roll man and interior finisher. Knocking down a 3-pointer off a pindown and a pull-up mid-range jumper, Wilson flashed some perimeter scoring as well. Look for Wilson to put up strong scoring, rebounding and steals numbers this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2395673"],"_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-6a2323b83dfc0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An old school player who fits in perfectly in the Columbus Catholic League, Weakley was handing out buckets in the paint on Friday. With impressive footwork, Weakley does a nice job getting the defense off balance before finding an angle to score in the paint. Weakley has a motor that doesn't stop and DeSales pushed the ball in transition more than usual. I'm always impressed with how prepared the Stallions are in June and they ran some teams out the gym today.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2462577"],"_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-6a2323b83e003"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Looking like one of the bigger stock risers in Ohio's 2027 class, Cochran has taken his game to new heights and is peaking at the moment. The stretch forward caught fire on Friday and looked the part of a surefire Division I target. I'm surprised how quiet the recruitment has been for Cochran thus far but he seems like the perfect candidate to blow up at Midwest live if he plays how he did today.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2796628"],"_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-6a2323b83e044"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Northland is always going to have talented athletes with size and Mburugu is one of the top players in the Columbus City League. When you combine Mburugu's frame, height and athleticism, you get a player who really looks the part. Finding some success in transition and on baseline cuts, Mburugu is at his best when he's attacking towards the rim. A prospect who would be a solid target for a JUCO program, if Mburugu can start to consistently knock down shots he has the tools to be an impact college player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3661720"],"_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-6a2323b83e083"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">North Canton Hoover is rolling past opponents in June and once again looked like they were in midseason form in a blowout win over Pickerington North. Newell is one of the elite shooters in northeast Ohio and got going off spot-up looks and DHO actions. I also appreciated that Newell wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty and crash the offensive glass and try to protect the rim. I'd expect the Vikings to again compete for conference and regional titles in 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
