[no. 68] Isaiah Ingle | 6-8 C | Northland / Hidden Gems Orange
Ingle is a raw prospect who has the tools to eventually pop. Long legs and arms. Thin. Explosive off two-feet. Natural growth to his frame and body will afford him more body control, therefore boosting his abilities to finish and rebound in traffic. Clear upside as a shot-blocker given his athleticism.
[no. 69] Davion Mace | 6-7 C | Cincinnati Woodward
A remarkably strong and athletic post player who provides vertical spacing. Runs the floor exceptionally well. Athletic mismatch. Doesn’t put it on the floor or anything like that, simply finishes and exposes lesser athletes. Should be a nightly benefactor of several Paul McMillan IV drop-downs at Woodward.
[no. 88] Chris Ringfield | 6-7 C | St. Edward / Murphy AC
Ringfield averaged less than one point last season and didn’t appear in several games. As a senior, however, we expect Ringfield to be a valuable role player for arguably the best team in Northeast Ohio.
Athletic, high motor player who actively rebounds, shows touch on put-backs, and runs the floor. Impresses in defending ball screens. Good tools. Well coached.
[no. 98] Savion Marshall-Hamilton | 6-6 C | Pickerington North / Nova (Alleyne)
Savion Marshall-Hamilton appeared in just two blow-out wins last season. With Pickerington North as possible preseason Division I regional favorites in Central Ohio, we’re not sure his role will go from deep sub to starter.
But that doesn’t mean SMH doesn’t have tools, Pick North’s personnel is just loaded. He defends in space, rebounds with effort and power, and can hit a baby hook inside. Nimble feet. Solid length. Strong, thick body.
[no. 110] Anthony Maxie | 6-4 C | Richmond Heights / All Ohio Cleveland
Prolific leaper who finishes over the top of taller shot-blockers. Highlight reel finisher from the dunker spot who cleverly operates that area of the floor. Dives to the rim without fear and draws fouls. Provides versatility by defending wings and forwards — terrific lateral quickness.
[no. 111] Hunter Drenth | 6-6 C | Revere / SMAC Primetime
Good size. Reliable team defender who switches and can cover wings on a possession. Runs the floor. Solid touch inside.
[no. 114] Nic Smith | 6-6 C | Walnut Hills / EG10 Gold
Effective over-the-shoulder scoring option in the post. Provides rebounding. Good lift and a strong body. Good lefty touch.
[no. 131] Marcus Peaks | 6-4 C | Watkins Memorial / Mid Ohio Pumas (Justice)
Effort post player with a strong, lean frame and a knack for rebounding. Effective scorer in the deep post. Runs the floor. Defends the basket very well for his size. Sets good screens. Continually bulking up.
[no. 139] Jaden Arledge | 6-6 C | Whetstone
Mobile post with some athleticism and size. He flashes the ability to shoot it and score inside. Runs the floor well. Possesses tools.
[no. 140] Tyshune Bender | 6-6 C | Bedford / Ginn Elite
Strong, athletic build. Effective finisher of drop-downs and put-backs. Scores in the paint. Rebounds with power. More than anything, Bender’s physique is promising.
