Intro: Ben Schwieger (2021)

<p>Waubonsie Valley 2021 shooting guard <strong>Ben Schwieger</strong> was absolutely the biggest stock riser of the day on Sunday at the UIC Elite Camp.  The Waubonsie Valley wing is a player we heard some buzz about, but this was our first evaluation.  He doesn’t play AAU because he is a big time volleyball player as well.  Schwieger also looked the part of a D1 hoops recruit at 6’5” with a long and wiry frame.  Plus shooter that drilled shots in both in the drills and games.  Clean looking shot.  More than just a shooter he has athleticism with a quick first step and acrobatic finishes at the rim.  Look for him to make a big debut in the next 2021 rankings.</p> <p>The rising junior broke down the strengths of his game as a player.</p> <p>“I think ever since I was little I was very versatile.  I can do a little of everything.  I can shoot it.  The past few years I have been growing a lot so I have been able to get to the rim and dunk a lot.”</p> <p>How did it go with his high school team in June?</p> <p>“We did really well.  We are going to be a young team with primarily juniors.  We only have four or five seniors on the team.  We are going to be young, but it should be fun.  A lot of them play AAU with Paradise Basketball. They like to run and gun so I like that style.”</p> <p>Several D1 schools have already jumped in the mix for his services.</p> <p>“I have offers from IUPUI and Robert Morris.  IUPUI is awesome.  Robert Morris has an awesome gym.”</p> <p>Expect UIC to be involved after his performance at their camp!</p>
