I also will include which level they project, their best trait, a summary, and how they can rank up. Enjoy!
40). Georges Archer 6’4 2022 SF
Possible Projection: D2/D3 Fit
Best Quality- Vertical
Summary: Georges Archer is a good athlete that is putting in work every day to take that next step. At 6’4, Archer has great size to play on the wing. It will be great to follow the growth of Archer over the next two seasons as he continues to round out his game.
How to rank up: Show more comfort on the wing.
39). Travis Whitfield 6’6 2023 C
Possible Projection: D3/D2 Fit
Best Quality: Strength
Summary: Travis Whitfield got called up last year as a freshman to deliver minutes as a post presence. The tournament I saw Whitfield in, he looked great. Whitfield is already 6’6 and plays strong, using his size to remain a powerhouse down low. Whitfield needs to continue polishing his game as he has a real chance at becoming one of the better bigs in the 757.
How to rank up: Develop his skillset.
38). Jayden Eason 6’5 2021 PF
Possible Projection: D2/D1 Fit
Best Quality: Work Ethic
Summary: This is where we get to at least the D2 cut off as far as projection given that Eason already has offers. Eason is a long, strong forward who runs the court extremely well. Eason bulked up this summer and will look to be a menace in the paint. Given he already has offers, Eason can add on to these as he attempts to finish strong in his final season.
How to rank up: Extend his jumper.
37). Adrian Shaw 6’6 2021 PF
Possible Projection: D2/D1Fit
Best Quality: Post Game
Summary: Adrian Shaw has one of the most polished post games in the 757. Shaw stands at 6’6 and boasts a strong frame. Shaw loves to carve out space and put in work in the paint, utilizing hook shots with either hand. Shaw will look to dominate in his senior year as he continues to be one of the better post players in the area.
How to rank up: Improve athleticism.
36). George Pettaway 6’1 2022 PG
Possible Projection: D2/D1 Fit
Best Quality: Speed
Summary: Honestly, the only thing holding back Pettaway is he is an amazing football player. Still, Pettaway is a fantastic lead guard. You can make a case for Pettaway being the fastest guard in the 757 with a ball in his hands. Pettaway is a blur, getting to his spots and setting his teammates up for easy buckets. Pettaway will continue to be one of the hardest covers in the area given his athletic dominance.
How to rank up: Consistent shooting.
