Don’t believe me, well I have some day one standouts to prove it! Here are the post players.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1336442" first="Zane" last="Gaul"] (In Set) D1 New Mexico 2025</p> <p>Gaul is rim running big that moves well for his size. Plays strong on the interior especially while playing through relentless contact. Lacks an extensive post game at this point in his playing career but with work and time I believe that will come. Zane has a good upside and if he continues to improve he has a great chance to be one of the better post in the class of 2025.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Elijah Eschmeyer Colorado Titans 2025</p> <p>If the name sounds familiar that’s because it. Elijah’s dad is former Northwestern and NBA baller Evan Eschmeyer. Elijah is a very raw prospect but the potential to get better is evident when you watch him play. He’s a high motor guy who never takes a play off. A solid rebounder and defender with a high basketball IQ. Plays hard and plays within himself and has the potential to be a really solid prospect.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Ray Wiggins No Fear Elite 2024</p> <p>Wiggins game is modeled after todays stretch fours. Not much of a post game but has a decent handle to get where he needs to on the floor and has a good jump shot. Played decently on day 1but there is still work to be done against better competition on day two. He’s a solid contributor  on a good No Fear Elite squad.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>VJ Hodges Prominent Elite (LV) 2025</p> <p>A long wiry post who at this point in his development he is most certainly a better defender, rebounder and shot blocker than he is an offensive threat. But Hodges doesn’t really need to do that much offensively for Prominent Elite team that he hoops for. The talent is there to be great and he’s with a strong program and solid coaching staff that will help bring that talent to the forefront. The big fella runs the floor well and can finish in transition rather easily. Never looks overwhelmed during the action he just needs more time to develop. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1123041" first="Bradey" last="Henige"] D1 Nation Arizona 2024</p> <p>The best post that I got to check out on day one of Bash In The Desert. He’s big and he can move, he has a nice jump shot and good low post moves. Henige plays with good leverage and is able to use his wide frame to power through would be defenders. He plays hard and with a lot of emotion. A very skilled post with who we’re gonna need to keep and eye on. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
