A prospect who will be moving up in our rankings update later this month, Vollrath opened his season with a strong 21 point performance for Gainesville on Saturday. A skilled frontcourt prospect with an effective inside and outside offensive game, Vollrath is comfortable playing with his back to the basket and has the footwork and touch to score around the rim. He can also step away from the paint and knock down open perimeter shots with range beyond the arc. Vollrath shows a willingness to establish position and compete on the block, rebounds well in his area and provides a shot blocking presence on the defensive end.

A commanding interior presence who thrives around the basket and makes his impact felt through physicality, touch, and relentless work on the glass. He finishes possessions with soft hands and efficient touch while using his strength to carve out positioning and establish himself in the paint. His agility allows him to maneuver through traffic, while his rebounding instincts create second-chance opportunities and extend possessions for his team. He demands attention inside, forcing opposing defenses to account for his presence every time he touches the floor.

The big man for the Red Elephants had 11 points in a win for the Red Elephants. Vollrath has good touch in the paint and can finish with either hand. He has good strength, rebounds his area and plays with a high motor. Post players are always tough for college coaches to find, so expect his recruitment to rise this summer.

ELCA pushed Gainesville to the brink, falling short 48-41. Who made the biggest shots late? It was Ash Vollrath. After a scoreless first half, the big man stepped up late in the game with a drive, a three-pointer and a slam dunk to ice it. Vollrath has interesting offensive skills. He didn’t play much last year but is in line for key minutes if the Red Elephants don’t add anymore transfers. Ash is a sneaky skilled late bloomer who could be appealing for NAIA and D-III programs if not higher. He had 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in the win.
