Humphrey-Rembert is a talented player that brings a lot to the table. He’s bouncy under the rim and can rebound like a high level 4. Humphrey-Rembert also has nice length which helps him protect the rim and defend multiple positions. He also has a nice mid range game and some transferrable ball skills.
Highlights
Hardy has the size and strength to compete down low. His gritty style and demeanor aid in that area as well. But Hardy can step out, face the rim, and make plays from there. He has a tough 2 dribble drive and is a solid passer from the perimeter as well as the high post.
Dunn most certainly is not just your average everyday power forward. Yeah, he’s an excellent shot blocker, post defender, and rebounder. But there’s much more to his game. Dunn step out and face the rim and be a danger with his mid range jumper. He hasthe ability to play the matchup and come out on top.
Struck has to be in the discussion with some of the best players as well as upside in the state. He’s a terrific all around athlete that’s highly ranked in both basketball and football. Struck is a matchup nightmare. He’s at least pushing 6’8″ and it hasn’t even been a year since I saw him at a showcase playing as a primary ball handler. Put a big on him, he steps out. Put a wing or guard on him, he goes to work down low. Good luck either way.
Highlights
Habhab remibds me a lot of 2023 grad Hutch “The Hutch Ward Explosion” Ward. He’s a versatile forward in his options and abilities when it comes to getting buckets. Step out on him and he’ll take you to the bucket and finish above the rim. Sit back on Habhab and he’ll get hot from behind the arc.
Cooper plays bigger than his height. He’s a tough player that can play off contact. Cooper can play outstanding vertical defense and protect his position under the rim and challenge and block shots. He can score with power under the rim but is way more versatile than just that. Cooper can go to work off the bounce on opposing bigs.
