He possesses excellent speed, impressive length, a solid frame, and remarkable agility. Fodor can track offensive players on the perimeter or play a physical style of defense in close. He is a menacing on-ball defender with a knack for throwing heavy stick checks and crafty lifts. Fodor's timely slides and double teams produced frequent turnovers too. Fodor also excelled at swooping in from the face off wing, picking up a ground ball and then leading the charge into the offensive end. His ability to distribute the rock at full speed was impressive. Fodor was a plus player in the clearing game too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":142377,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tyler Keating ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"170","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"147","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Erie ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"91 Colorado ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c134525d2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keating is an explosive face off specialist who tilted the field in his team's favor all summer. With his quick hands and anticipation skills, Keating cleanly won face offs and then streaked down field for a goal or to drop a dime on a teammate. When he was looking to score, Keating uncorked shots from multiple angles. Keating effectively used defensive exits too. He then pounced on the resulting ground ball and secured possession for his squad. Keating also demonstrated that he could win a clamp and then snap a pass to one of his wings. When action at the face off dot got chaotic, Keating's tenacity and physicality enabled him to muck it up and eventually emerge from the pack with possession. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["121320"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c134525db0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCracken possesses blazing speed, a quick first step, and filthy stick skills. From NAL to Naptown to New Balance All-America, McCracken tortured opposing defenses with his elite shooting and passing skills. On settled possessions, McCracken's ability to get his hands free and then swiftly fire the ball into the back of the net was extraordinary. He also thrived at coming out of the box, getting downhill in a flash, and then scoring or distributing at full speed. McCracken's ability to finish with both hands made him especially lethal while on the run. On settled possessions, McCracken showed that he is an accurate step-down shooter and a timely passer. Lastly, McCracken's high IQ frequently produced crafty off-ball cuts that led to door-step goals. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":142381,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Michael Polgar ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"160","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"144","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. John Paul Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Florida Crabs ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c134525eb5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After a breakout freshman high school season in which he earned a starting spot for SJPA, Polgar continued to be a standout between the pipes this summer. Polgar played with a poise well beyond his years. That composure enabled Polgar to snuff out scoring opportunities on the crease as well as on odd man fast break scenarios. Polgar's impressive agility enabled him to cover every inch of the cage. Additionally, Polgar excelled at making clean saves and then quickly triggering a fast break with a precise outlet pass. This net-minder also owns surprising foot speed, and he will not hesitate to use that asset to push the ball up the field himself. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["129878"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c134525f33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This long, athletic, and fast lefty turned heads all summer. Spahr was a standout performer at NHSLS as well as the A.L.L. Summer Championships and played a significant role in Next Level's unexpected run to 2027 division title game at Naptown. Thanks to his speed, elusive change direction moves and high IQ, Spahr is an open field phenom. Once he has crossed into the offensive zone, Spahr is a threat to unleash missiles from deep, draw a slide and then move the ball to an open teammate or run through stick checks and then score in close. In 6on6 action Spahr displayed serious shake as he frequently left defenders in the dust. Plus, Spahr proved he owns a deep bag of finishing moves he can execute for goals. This summer, Spahr also flashed the ability to play at attack.     </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
