At 6'7 Young has legit shot-making skills that really intrigue me. His hand-eye coordination seems very advanced for a prospect his height and he has good arc on his 3-point shot. Continuing to bulk up and improve explosiveness should be a main priority for Young as he's very skinny currently. I think Young is a prospect that you could look back in a couple years and be really amazed by his development if he puts in the work. A high upside swing for small colleges, JUCO or prep programs.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1462470"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"McHugh is an under the radar prospect who I stumbled across while watching [program_tooltip program_id='2078657' first='Shining' last='Star'] Price this spring. McHugh jumped off the page with his body, standing at 6'7 with long arms. McHugh is a project right now, as he hasn't been super productive at the varsity level just yet. I still think he's worth a look as small colleges are always looking for size to try and develop within their program.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1494503"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Kirkby is the most skilled prospect featured in this article as the late blooming power forward is rapidly improving. Despite not getting much action as a Junior, Kirkby was starting for the Shamrocks in the summer and took advantage of the opportunity at Midwest Live with some standout games. Kirkby can put the ball on the floor, was crafty around the basket and showed some shooting potential. I'm hoping to see Kirkby again in the winter to see how far he's come in another six months.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1494502"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"A two sport stud, Pestello stands out on both the hardwood and the diamond. At 6'7, the lefty has good footwork in the post and was productive as a Junior, winning first team all conference mention. Stow has a couple small college prospects for college coaches to check out, coming at both the guard and forward position so small colleges will want to watch the Bulldogs this winter.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1512598"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"The final prospect featured in this article, Cheery showed some promise for [program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last='']' last=''] Select this summer when I watched them play. At 6'6, Cheery has good enough size to play the power forward or slide down to the center in smaller line-ups. Cheery had good feet and was smart with the ball in his hands. I'd like to see Cherry in a more featured role with his high school team to see how he does as a focal point of the offense. Regardless, Cherry is a prospect to monitor with his size, athleticism and feel for the game.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-64be068ac9807"} /-->
