Recruiting Report: Lucas Lehrman (2018)
Lucas Lehrman – 6’10” | PF | Indy Heat 2018 Red | Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger
Lucas Lehrman has really exploded onto the recruiting scene in the past few months due to his quick progression in his skills. Lucas has been improving at a rapid rate throughout the spring and summer. His recruiting has taken off from the early spring after the Senior Showcase when coaches started contacting him regularly.
Lehrman played for Indy Heat 2018 Red for the AAU season and plays with the Saints of Bishop Dwenger High School during the school year.
He will be stepping into a big role this upcoming season for Dwenger. With his dynamic skill set at the power forward position, he will be a tough player to match up with in the Fort Wayne area.
Lucas has been impressive stepping away from the basket and stretching the floor with his jumper. He is more confident in the pick-and-pop game than he has ever been. He shot the ball consistently from deep while also showing off his strength and agility inside.
His length and timing are bothersome on the defensive end. He’s becoming better and better at blocking shots but keeping the ball in play. Great quick leaping abilities. He can get off the floor in a hurry to secure rebounds and get put back baskets on offense. Lehrman has the ability to finish over contact above the rim and is great with put-back-dunks.
“I’m currently trying to get stronger for this upcoming season. I’ve worked on some post moves and ball handling away from the basket.” As he becomes more comfortable with the ball in his hands away from the basket, it will make him all the more effective scoring inside as well. Lucas is a well-balanced forward in every aspect of the game.
“My most recent off has been from Goshen. I also have offers from Indiana Tech and Lourdes.” Along with those three scholarships, Lucas has been contacted by a strong list of schools at the NAIA, DIII, and DII levels.
These next few months will be a big stretch for Lehrman. He hopes to continue drawing interest with the high school season looming.
