He has caught the attention of numerous Division I programs. Strobl's features an excellent shot and he can hit from almost anywhere on the court. Defenses can't leave him open anywhere. His court vision, particularly in transition, allows him to create opportunities for teammates. Strobl's performances in high-profile events have been particularly noteworthy, including Philly Live against top competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2335973"],"_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-667b1ee0dfd93"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2335973' first='Nick' last='Dressick']'s game has shown significant progress, and it's anchored by his exceptional shooting. And this shooting is evident during the Live Period where he is averaging 14 points per game. Dressick has a well-rounded game. His excellent court vision and unselfish play make him a great passer. Dressick's toughness and commitment to his team are remarkable. Nick is a gritty player and tough. He is willing to dive for loose balls and always plays at 100%.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398507"],"_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-667b1ee0dfdd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nobody finishes better at the rim than [player_tooltip player_id='2398507' first='Josh' last='Pratt']. His ambidextrous touch and creative finishes, allows him to score even in heavy traffic. Pratt is demonstrating the ability to score from all three levels, with a quick first step that allows him to blow by defenders and a developing outside shot. His craftiness with the ball makes him unpredictable and hard to defend. This offensive toolkit has translated into impressive scoring outputs, with Pratt already notching multiple 30+ point performances in the CJ2K League. Pratt's performances haven't gone unnoticed, with Division I offers already coming in from programs like Pepperdine, Hofstra, and Northeastern.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2478651' first='Trevor' last='Rehm']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bishop Guilfoyle","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"PK Flash","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667b1ee0dfe4f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2478651' first='Trevor' last='Rehm'] is attracting plenty of interest from Division II schools. His ability to combine this athleticism with a solid skill set makes him a versatile threat. Offensively, Rehm showcases a well-rounded game. His nice pull-up jumper adds a mid-range element while his spot-up shooting extends his range and keeps defenses honest. In the post, Rehm displays a nice array of moves. Defensively, Rehm is a force as a shot blocker. His performance during the Live Period has been excellent, leading to the beginning of Division II offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Trey Schachter","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Allderdice","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"All Ohio Red","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667b1ee0dfee6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trey Schachter has shown breakout performances this summer, and it's starting to put him on some DI radars. His recent offer from Green Bay shows this growing recognition. Schachter's offensive game is anchored by his three-point shooting. His shooting prowess was on full display during the Philly Live AAU sessions, where he exploded for 30 points against West Philadelphia. Schachter demonstrates a well-rounded skill set. He's a solid rebounder for his position. His good open floor speed and ability to run the floor well make him an asset in transition. Defensively, Schachter stands out as a tough, hard-nosed player, willing to take on challenging assignments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
