<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Midwest fall league returned to Columbus on Saturday for the first weekend of action. In this article we'll break down four standout 2027 / 2028 prospects from Saturday morning's action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2462577"],"_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-66e06ba5c65b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There's only a couple of 2027 and 2028 prospects playing up in the 11th/12th grade division and Cochran might be the highest upside prospect of these players. A forward who can stretch the floor, Cochran hit some tough shots off the catch and bounce. A left-handed dominant player, Cochran had some strong takes going left with a tough scoop layup in traffic. Hoping to see Cochran develop his off hand to give himself the ability to handle the ball easier in traffic and finish with both hands at the rim. There's a lot of upside with Cochran and he's one of the most talented players in central Ohio's 2027 class, we're hoping he reaches his ceiling with continued work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2560298"],"_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-66e06ba5c6667"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Krumpak was one of the top shooters on Saturday morning with a quick release and confidence to stretch the floor. Playing well off his talented teammates, Krumpak had a simple role and executed it well. Dublin Coffman always has elite shooters in their program and Krumpak could be the next one central Ohio fans find out about over the next three years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2387365"],"_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-66e0749047220"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith played with a lot of confidence for a prospect playing up age groups on Saturday morning. Already used to playing against older players, Smith is projected to be a key player for Leesburg Fairfield this winter. Able to knock down shots, swing the ball and not turn it over is a good combo to have for a guard in this fall league. With continued development, Smith could be one of the top scorers in southeast Ohio as an upperclassman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532136"],"_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-66e0749047271"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saxton came to our freshman showcase and stood out as a passer. In the Midwest fall league, I was even more impressed to see how he impacted the game against older and bigger competition. Saxton has an advanced IQ for his age and did a nice job of fitting in next to older pieces. Playing hard and forcing turnovers with his defense, Saxton turned those steals into layups for himself or his teammates. Based on what I've seen from him recently, Saxton looks like a player who should make an immediate impact for Grove City this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
