You want a 7' center? <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2449556' first='Hunter' last='Noel'] </strong>is your guy. Need a tall shooter? <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2684683' first='Samuel' last='Plourde'] </strong>and<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2634791' first='Joel' last='Coverston']</strong> have you covered. Desperate to get a rebound? <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2350372' first='Brady' last='Harris']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1860350' first='Jaxson' last='Alcorn']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3544662' first='Kamyrn' last='Green']</strong>,<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2283269' first='Fred' last='Martin']</strong>, and<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='3570615' first='Ian' last='Allen']</strong> will clatter into bodies to pull one down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Together with<strong> Greg Spight</strong>, <strong>Fred Martin </strong>attended Lipscomb's Team Camp this past summer. They both played wonderfully, but neither earned a Lipscomb offer just yet. Fred is a power guard that projects as a D2 guy. Such a quick first step. He can shoot a little, handle well, and defend better than average. Look for Fred to sign in the spring though his recruiting options must expand in the coming months. Well-rounded worker bee.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>John Nwoye is a fringy college prospect. Great wing body and agility. Unfortunately, John plays too many high school games without dominating. A college bound hooper generally thoroughly outplays high school opponents. John is not that guy. Raw. Needs to develop his skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As mentioned, <strong>Samuel Plourde</strong> can really shoot it. His slashing keeps getting better and an NAIA program feels like the right level. Beech and Plourde will find life much harder without Mr. Basketball Finalist Cutter Sisk though his absence does leave a scoring vacuum that Samuel can fill somewhat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ayden Glenn</strong> does not get a lot of "ink" from us, but he is a steady lead guard similar to E.J. Jordan or Eric Bryson Jr. Coaches and teammates know they are getting a full effort every night. C.P.A. Head Coach Tyler Holloway played 122 games of college basketball and seems to be the perfect mentor for Glenn. Holloway started 68 games for a very strong Murray State Racer team late last decade. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
