New Year, New Freshman Names

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are welcoming in the new year by adding some names to the list of players that I've written about. It's a new year, so we're looking at new names. It's time for some freshman to hit my pages for the first time!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out "New Year, New Senior Names", "New Year, New Junior Names", and "New Year, New Sophomore Names" below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prephoops.com/2025/01/new-year-new-senior-names/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prephoops.com/2025/01/new-year-new-senior-names/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prephoops.com/2025/01/new-year-new-junior-names/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prephoops.com/2025/01/new-year-new-junior-names/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prephoops.com/2025/01/new-year-new-sophomore-names/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prephoops.com/2025/01/new-year-new-sophomore-names/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2442240"],"_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-6776c5ead3a09"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have a feeling that this will be the first of many mentions in my articles over the next few years. This young man has a lot going for him as a player and prospect. Ayers has excellent positional height and ball skills. He's a true 3 level scorer already in his freshman season. Ayers can handle and attack both ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2539719"],"_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-6776c5ead3a75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Estelle will be making a lot of noise throughout his high school basketball career. As of right now, it's almost impossible to slot him in a position. He's a strong 6-4 and rebounds like a post, but he can also step outside on the perimeter. Estelle is actually a very willing and able passer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2384818"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6776c5ead3b12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gill is an exciting young player. He's an explosive player that really utilizes his speed and quick feet. Gill has shown the ability to play at a fast pace and beat the defense back for high percentage buckets. Gill has also shown that he can pull up and shoot off the bounce, even from beyond the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2517162"],"_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-6776c5ead3b5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm no expert on Lamerson's game. For that I defer to my star cohort Nick Huyck (https://prephoops.com/author/nick-huyck-author/). But what I do know is that Glen Lake seems to have a river run through it with talented athletes. If Mr. Huyck thinks he could be next man up, I'd highly advise getting up to Glen Lake and watching Lamerson play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
