Stromer really impressed me for the Ohio Buckets 16 U group this spring as his fluidity for his size is rare to find at his age. Typically bigs take longer to develop and Stromer seems set to hit his stride this winter and become one of the most dominant small school players in central Ohio and could help The Wellington School to a deep playoff run. Stromer looks like a prospect who will simply keep getting better and should see his recruitment spike soon.

It’s always refreshing to see a young big make huge strides in their game after not watching them for a while. I hadn’t seen Stromer in person in about a calendar year and his development is night and day from where he was 12 months ago. Stromer had a steal that led to a Breakaway dunk and had another dunk on a pick and roll play that was exactly what I’ve wanted to see him do. Stromer still needs a lot of work defensively but that should come in due time and his offensive skill improvement has him on track for a nice rankings boost come the next update.

After playing his freshman season at Olentangy Liberty, Stromer made the transfer to Columbus Wellington where he will immediately be a featured player on that team. Stromer showed flashes for Nova Village on the UAA circuit at the 15 U level. Stromer can play above the rim and work with his back to the basket. Excited to see Stromer continue to grow and he should put up impressive numbers on a small school schedule this winter.

Aaden Stromer Aaden Stromer 6'8" | C/PF The Wellington School | 2028 State OH showed his high upside with his ability to run the floor like a deer and play above the rim. His length and activity on defense made him a factor on both ends, giving him one of the higher ceilings in attendance.

I was intrigued by the future potential of Stromer due to his size, ability to move his feet and activity in the paint. Stromer scored as a roll man, had multiple putback layups and blocked a couple shots in the game I saw. Still developing some other aspects of his offensive game, Stromer seems like a player we’ll be monitoring over the next few years to track his improvement.
