(Pictured) Very athletic quick slasher type player. Can play on the perimeter and shoot the perimeter jumper but at his best getting to the rim. Long quick and agile. Showed a nice pull up push shot off the drive. TCU, Texas A&M, St Bonnaventure, Robert Morris.

Small remains one of the better uncommitted seniors in the CHSAA this season. The 6-foot-7 forward was effective from the mid-range and in again on Monday night, being responsible for most of Molloy’s offense before St. Francis pulled away for good. He is quick enough that he can get past his man when slashing to the rim and has good touch as a shooter. Schools looking for a a stretch f0ur man would be wise to get eyes on Small

Elijah games has evolved in all aspects. Has always been a really good shooter from the perimeter. The lefty big man now combines that skill with sheer strength and athleticism to get to the rim and finish. A physically imposing looking player. A defensive force either on the ball or at the rim. Elijah has now gained the confidence to put the ball on the floor and finish above the rim. One of the most improved players in the CHSAA. But everyone knew it was just a matter of time.

Small is a player that impacts the game on both ends of the floor. On defense, his high motor results in him staying active and getting steals and deflections that create extra possessions for both him and his team. He also has a knack for getting timely buckets on offense, and crashes the boys effectively. He also moves well without the ball, creating easy opportunities for him to finish around the rim.

14. Elijah had a huge jump from #50 -#14 mostly because he is now healthy. Coming off of a summer where he was able to show off his whole skillset. Outstanding rebounder. A strong presence blocking shots. Has a good handle getting to the rim. But is mid range combines a strong handle, able to get up and use of his body to create separation is potent.

11. Missed significant time last year, but he looks like he’s ready to roll this coming season. A player with great size but also is a very versatile player because of his skill set. Has a good stroke from the perimeter. Terrific at getting to the rim and finishing.
