<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Pumas Fall League continued at the Bill McDonald Sports Complex in Columbus, Ohio where action heated up in the fall league. Prep Hoops Ohio will be providing weekly coverage of the fall league and in this article we'll break down the 2029 and 2030 prospects who stood out this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2906352"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaf0aa71c0b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hanna was arguably the top performer I saw on Saturday morning and gets the featured image to headline this article because of his play. A skilled guard, Hanna got to his spots off the dribble and confidently rose up to score. Able to change pace and direction with ease, Hanna got where he wanted to off the dribble and rose up for easy buckets. Hanna also displayed his advanced ability to finish with his left hand at the rim. One of the top guards in central Ohio's 2029 class, Hanna has the opportunity to burst onto the scene in the OCC as Olentangy Orange's primary ball handler and decision maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3732163"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaf0aa71c135"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leist has grown a couple inches and put on some good weight since I last saw him at the Pumas fall league a year ago. Leist had a strong second half performance in his teams early morning victory and used his frame to shield away from the defense on drives. Leist looks like an impact player for New Hope Christian to build with over the next three seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3588075"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaf0aa71c19f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The younger Cochran brother stood out in the game I saw of his as his ability to knock down shots at his size and age is quite intriguing. While his older brother Andrew just committed to Marshall, Andrew's recruitment will wait a little while as a 2029 who has plenty of time to develop physically. Cochran not only made shots on the perimeter but also had a nice reverse layup off a backdoor cut on the baseline. I expect Cochran to become a household name in central Ohio this winter with the exciting opportunity to play alongside his older brother at the varsity level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3773228"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaf0aa71c207"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best shooters I saw all day, Monroe was lighting it up from long distance for his team. It didn't matter if Monroe was on the wing, in the corner, off the catch, DHO or dribble, he was knocking down 3-point shots. I'll be looking for Monroe to impact the game in other ways throughout the rest of the fall league, as his perimeter shooting ability is a great way to get on my and college coaches radars, becoming a well-rounded player will take his game to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3773229"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaf0aa71c268"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There aren't many 2030 prospects playing in the top division of the Pumas fall league and Lancaster is one of the few playing up and contributing. Lancaster was confident with the ball in his hands as the small town prospect wasn't afraid of traps and made the right play with the ball. Lancaster also finished drives and had a nice breakaway layup off a steal. A name to know in the 2030 class in Ohio, Lancaster looks like an immediate impact piece at the varsity level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
