MVP: Christian Harvey
This was a much tougher decision than the morning session. Really, we like Middlesworth, Manges, and Harvey as our top three and really you could make an argument for any of them. The reason Harvey was the choice was what the upside looks like. He’s a name not many knew and not many watched but he proved this weekend that he’s going to be a high-end player in this 2018 class. He was so, so aggressive and the fact that he purposely tried to get people to foul him, almost so he could finish the play, was what really stood out. The kid has some skill and that, along with the aggressive mindset, is why he was the best player we saw on Saturday. Still, give props to Middlesworth and Manges because they were also excellent on the day.
