There are many more colleges showing interest and that should only increase as time goes on. Evanson has grown, added muscle, and improved his athleticism in the offseason. He has turned himself into a bouncy above-the-rim finisher. Carter had some eye-popping dunks this summer. Easy$ is an unconscious shooter, an improved slasher, and an all-around playmaker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1422857"],"_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-66d9d6bd9c895"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>WHY?</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>BIG Jon had a quality offseason and performed well when playing up in the 17U division. Roubideaux is tall, large, and strong. Jon's skills are beyond impressive for his size. He is a lefty who strokes the triple, hits middys consistently, can slash &amp; finish with fancy feet, and score around the basket with a variety of moves. Roubideaux is high-yielding on the glass and he blocked a ton of shots this summer in club ball. Jonathan is a headache of a matchup because he can shoot from deep, slash for points, and post for buckets. He also shares the ball and sets up others for good looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1559968"],"_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-66d9d6bd9c90f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>WHY?</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He was All-State in Class B last season and will certainly be one of the elite players once again this year. Earl The Pearl had an outstanding club season with [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] and he helped the squad win many games. He seemed much more confident in year 2 of grassroots basketball. He is a marvelous athlete and a 3-level scorer. Earl is a dawg on defense who frustrates the opposition and forces many turnovers. I like his pull-up game and elusiveness off the bounce. This Pirate is a star in the making. Look for Earl and Hankinson to be one of the best in B this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1332144"],"_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-66d9d6bd9c987"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>WHY?</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He has all the tools to be great. Nissley is advanced athletically, has all the skills/tools, and he is a big guard. Garrett is a tough shot-maker who can pull-up almost anywhere on the floor to get points. He is a capable shooter from three-point, talented from mid-range, and a creative/athletic finisher. Nissley can make all the moves and passes, he is definitely a dynamic player. I think he has a ton of potential on the defensive side as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[2856939],"_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-66d9d6bd9c9fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>WHY?</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Spoiler is growing like a bad weed! Brody has length like a center but he hits triples like a shooting guard. He is a coaches kid who knows the game well, Lillemoen moves well with out the ball, and knows how to get loose for shots. Obviously, he is a mismatch problem with his size and shooting. Brody can also cause problems on defense because of his long arms. At 6'7" with a quality skill set, he has the potential to be the next Dalton Albrecht!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1332142"],"_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-66d9d6bd9ca6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>WHY?</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He finished his first full season of club basketball on a high note. Colton improved throughout the summer, gained confidence, and the game seemed to slow down for him. Colton is a well-rounded player with a balanced game. At 6'5", athletic, and a good head on his shoulders, Colton is a tough matchup. Reinke has positioned himself to be a breakout baller in the EDC. I know the Eagles coaching staff is excited about his potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1327795"],"_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-66d9d6bd9cae3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>WHY?</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He got his feet wet on varsity this past season, I think Pfau could have a breakout year for the Packers in 2024-25. I am intrigued by him as a defender and he is a formidable shooter from beyond the 3-point arc. Beckett is a smooth athlete with a good feel for the game. Pfau added size and muscle this offseason. This will allow the junior to build off a successful sophomore campaign. Pfau and the Packers should be scary this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1418037"],"_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-66d9d6bd9cb57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>WHY?</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every time I watch him live, I am impressed. Harildstad passes the eye test with his build, muscle, length, athleticism, and versatility. Zavion is a two-way player and a true difference-maker on both sides of the ball. It will be hard for Coach Mattern to take this kid off the floor. Z will guard anyone, produce points as an opportunistic player, and his effort/NRG will never be questioned. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1418038"],"_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-66d9d6bd9cbca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>WHY?</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He has blossomed into a reliable scorer who takes good shots and values the rock. Weigel is skilled with the ball and makes smart choices on the hardwood. Brody was impressive at the Who's Next Combine in June. He looks to be a talented shooter and I know he is tough on the defensive end of the floor. The expectations are high for this young Sabre. PHD is excited to see him hoop in the coming months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1541562"],"_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-66d9d6bd9cc3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>WHY?</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He put in the time to improve his game and Corbyn had an excellent offseason. Follingstad's talent level continues to improve. As the summer progressed, his perimeter shooting got hot and we expect him to be a serious threat this winter. Corbyn is a quality athlete, runs the floor well, and I love his left-handed finishes around the hoop. This Bruin is aggressive on the boards and he is a quick jumper. South is expecting a huge season from Corbyn. If the Bruins make a run to State, Follingstad will be a major reason for that success. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2413916,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/StockRisers-crop-658x432-1713235665.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/StockRisers-crop-658x432-1713235665.jpg?w=657" alt="" class="wp-image-2413916" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
