Ward was a player that I was not too familiar with going into The Expo but he almost immediately caught my eye. Again, that is why events like this are so important for exposure. When you are a true 6’8″, it is hard for people not to take notice of you. The Tri-West power forward showed really solid mobility in the paint and was one of the better big man rim runners on Sunday. Ward was active around glass and would even try to play some wing at times. He is still pretty raw heading into his senior season, but has a lot of tools you can work with at the next level.

When looking for under-the-radar, high-upside prospects in the Class of 2025, Wes Ward Wes Ward 6'8" | PF Tri-West | 2025 State IN is one that all small college coaches should get eyes on. The 6’8″ forward has an intriguing mixture of offensive skill which includes the ability to stretch the floor a bit out beyond the arc. Ward is a long lefty that should catch the attention of any coaches in attendance at The Expo on September 22nd.
