Expert Analysis
Daniel Siehndel | Prep Hoops Scout
It should be a huge weekend for Struckman at the Pro16 and NXTPro Live Period in Tulsa, where he’ll have plenty of opportunities to compete against strong talent from across the country. Nolan’s size and skill set should continue to stand out as he finds his rhythm this spring alongside a talented group of perimeter players. Another big who is capable of stretching the floor, Struckman has impressed with his mid-range shooting this spring. Defensively, his length has also flashed, particularly as a rim protector around the basket, altering and blocking shots at a high rate. He looks comfortable operating in ball-screen actions, whether short rolling or slipping screens, where he’s shown the ability to make quick decisions as both a passer and scorer. If he can put together a strong weekend in Tulsa, there’s little doubt it could push him onto more next-level radars as he continues to build momentum heading into the rest of the summer, with still plenty left to prove.

Struckmann’s name has become one of the hottest in the state after leading St. Dominic to an impressive turnaround season, finishing 24–5 overall. Nolan’s production also took a significant jump, as he averaged over 15 points per game and 10 rebounds while shooting 52% from the field.
His perimeter game has taken a major step forward this year, as he’s shown the ability to attack off the bounce and operate effectively in pick-and-pop situations where he can stretch the floor as a capable shooter. His finishing at the rim has also become more explosive and powerful, and he continues to stand out as a longer, versatile body who can handle the basketball in space.
Given his development and production, his recruitment is expected to heat up this summer, with multiple Division II and low-major Division I programs likely to show interest in waves.

Read EvaluationEarl Austin | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6’6 2027 forward displayed his versatility and playmaking skills throughout the game I watched him play. He was facilitating halfcourt offense and dropping some impressive dimes in the transition game. He’s very comfortable on the perimeter but he can also operate inside, which makes him a matchup problem.
