Queen City Clash: Saturday 15 U Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Circuit made a stop in Cincinnati, Ohio for a two day event that allowed players to be off for Easter Sunday. In this article I'll break down the 15 U standouts from Saturday at the Queen City Sportsplex.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194985"],"_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-680529face501"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">DiSanto is one of the elite shooters in Ohio and lit up the scoreboard from downtown playing in his hometown this weekend. While his prolific shooting ability grabs the headlines and is his most impressive skill, DiSanto has shown improvement handling the ball with his left hand and using that off hand to finish at the rim. Wildcat Select 15 U has a lot of talented slashers that help generate easy shots for DiSanto and he shot an extremely high percentage this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2843713"],"_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-680529face559"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the quickest guards I saw all weekend, Ansberry was aggressive as a slasher and could take it coast to coast off defensive rebounds and steals. Also a capable shot-maker from 3-point range, Ansberry made the defense pay when they collapsed on his teammates and left him open from downtown. Ansberry was one of the most consistent players all weekend and is set for a breakout sophomore campaign after making a splash on varsity as a freshman on a senior laden group.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2831682"],"_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-680529face5a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While I caught Midwest Flyers Levett in a loss, I was really impressed with the brand of basketball they played. Lots of unselfish players who worked to get good shots and moved the basketball, the effort levels were there and Houston was their most impressive player in the game I caught. Able to finish acrobatic layups at the rim, Houston used spin to finish from tough angles at the rim. His slashing ability also opened up passing lanes for him to find his teammates and Houston used the jump pass on a few occasions to keep the defense guessing. If this team continues to grow together, I expect them to start racking up the wins in future events.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2792674"],"_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-680529face5ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">My last game of the weekend was a tight contest between [program_tooltip program_id='2796904' first='Shelby' last='Stars'] 15 U and Midwest Flyers Hall. Eubanks impressed as the biggest player on the floor with strong hands to swallow up rebounds on both ends of the court. I also was impressed by the soft touch Eubanks showed on the block, making multiple shots that bounced around the rim before falling in. A massive presence in the paint, Eubanks is a mismatch at the 15 U level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2821483"],"_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-680529face62e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A guard with a lot of on ball juice offensively, Hall was one of the more creative 15 U players I saw all weekend. Able to attack off the dribble and create for himself, Hall knocked down a handful of jumpers off the dribble where he created the offense for himself. I'll be curious to see Hall play against older competition at the varsity level next season as he did appear in three late season contests for Troy as a freshman. Hall is a name to watch in Dayton's 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
