The Ohio Buckets have been dominant this weekend in the PIT with every player contributing in a major way for their team. Scholl had a big game with a handful of Division I programs on hand to watch him as the stretch forward made some deep 3-pointers that caught the defense off guard. I’m surprised more schools haven’t gotten involved with Scholl already as he has an elite skill with height from the power forward position. With so many programs looking for immediate contributors, the developmental players can potentially slip through the cracks and become impact players for a program that believes and develops them.

One of the elite floor spacers in Ohio, Scholl is automatic from downtown when given the space to fire away from long distance. Against Garfield Heights, Scholl caught the defense by surprise with how quickly he fired away from downtown even when he was a few feet behind the line. The biggest area for Scholl to improve at is in the weight room and he had some nice finishes at the rim but also faded away from contact a couple times against smaller defenders. Scholl has a pair of Division I offers and I’d expect that list to grow by the time July ends.

The Ohio Buckets 2027 group has dominated the EYCL circuit and that’s allowed a few of their prospects to catch the eyes of Division I programs. Scholl might be the highest upside prospect on the team as the stretch forward is an ELITE shooter. Colleges are always looking for floor spacers and Scholl does that at his size better than basically everybody in Ohio. While he still needs some time to add strength in the weight room, Scholl has the potential to be an impact starter at the Division I level if he can fill out his frame. Scholl picked up an offer from Miami (OH) back in February and should add to that list in June with Big Walnut.

The list of shooters in Ohio as good or better than this 6’8″ forward from Big Walnut High School cannot be long at all. He was absolutely excellent all weekend long for Ohio Buckets EYCL 17u and culminated the weekend by scoring 24 points in a title game loss to UNRNKD EYCL 17u. Scholl’s combination of height and pure shooting ability should make him a hot commodity throughout the rest of the summer.

In a game that was incredibly ugly in the first half, Scholl came out firing in the second half with multiple key 3-pointers in their comeback effort. Late in the game Scholl had a key lefty late to help extend Big Walnut’s lead. Gritty effort by Big Walnut to respond from a sluggish first half to leave with a win.

One of the breakout performers from the Midwest fall league in Columbus, Scholl is taking that next step that I’ve been waiting for him to make. One of the elite shooters in Ohio, Scholl is making an impact outside of just making shots on the perimeter more consistently. Gifted with length, Scholl could become a nice secondary rim protector when he adds more weight and strength to push back in the paint against more physical forwards. Things are starting to click for him, and I expect a monster junior season for Scholl.

When you see prospects during their freshman or 15 U AAU season you typically see some flashes and hope to project development down the road for them. Scholl was one of those prospects who flashed at an extremely high level at a young age and has taken that next step to dominating local competition almost every time he steps on the court. The growing confidence in his all around game has made him more than just a floor spacer from the power forward position and should have college programs intrigued when they see him either this winter for Big Walnut or in the grassroots season for the Ohio Buckets .

Scholl has taken his game to the next level this fall, consistently dominating the competition and looking like a Division I target ready to earn his first offer either this winter or spring. Scholl hit a couple mid-range shots where he simply shot over smaller defenders, showing his face-up ability. Maybe his best move of the day was a euro step that ended with a lefty finish at the rim. Arguably the best floor spacing forward in the state, Scholl hit a few deep 3-pointers off the catch and DHO actions.

One of the elite stretch forwards in Ohio, Scholl is going to make shots on the perimeter basically every game he plays in. With a couple of college line 3-pointers, defenses have to respect Scholl well beyond the high school line. A couple turnaround jumpers also showcase his tough shot-making ability. What’s most important for Scholl however is continuing to add strength, weight and play through contact. If Scholl can consistently get to the foul line this winter I’d expect his PPG numbers to spike for Big Walnut.

Filling in this weekend on the 17 U level, Scholl has been productive scoring on the interior against older competition. Strength is the biggest part of Scholl’s game that needs to improve and he used his size and length to finish efficiently at the rim. If you’ve ever seen Scholl play you know how elite of a shooter he is and of course he was making it rain from long distance on Saturday as well.
