(#39) Bash Wieland, 6’4” G/W, Lakota East
Yesterday’s Bellarmine commit, Wieland is a perfect fit for a disciplined halfcourt team. Wieland may not ever lead them in scoring at the next level, but he can play immediately because of his size, IQ on both sides, and shooting ability. Very principled player who reflects Lakota East’s regimented program.
(#66) CJ Napier, 6’4” W, Bishop Fenwick
Napier is perfectly suited for one of those tough D-II programs who works for quality shots in the halfcourt offense. His developing frame is ready to defend multiple positions and help out on the glass. Meanwhile, he’s an excellent distributor on the other end who does a good job of surveying the floor on his drives. Capable left-handed outside shooter.
(#70) Brice Hill, 6’5” G/W, Seven Hills
Hill is one of the best high-academic prospects available. Expect him to land at a D-II or NAIA program because of his shooting ability and finesse scoring package. His frame is suited to defend the two-guard at the next level, where he should have enough of a height advantage (on certain nights) to shoot over the defense. Creative scoring arsenal in the mid-range.
(#98) Mike Hill, 6’4” W, Withrow
Hill’s fluidity, athleticism, and rebounding ability are scholarship level. He may need a redshirt season to become more assertive/confident and add more skill to his game. However, he’s a promising athlete who we just might be too low on. The mid-range jumper looks pretty but he shot just 33 percent from deep last season. Above average defensive instincts and he might be able to guard three to four positions, depending on the system.
