<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of extraordinarily talented and available 2027 prospects who we would send a college offer to right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["173060"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":173089,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69682255784c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cerdan is an agile, fleet footed and solidly built prospect who is a disruptive force in the defensive end. That trifecta of assets enables Cerdan to play a finesse or bully ball style of defense. When he is in finesse mode, Cerdan relentlessly pursues ball carriers all over the field and then causes turnovers via crafty pokes, lifts and can openers. He also has a knack for jamming ups passing lanes with his stick. Cerdan has an extremely physical edge to his game too. He does a fantastic job of getting into offensive players early in the dodge and then moving that ball carrier of his intended path. Additionally, Cerdan will not hesitate to take the body on his slides and double teams. Cerdan is a plus player in the clearing game who can run past, around, or over opposing players. As a bonus to being an extremely talented prospect, Cerdan has considerable experience playing in high profile events. Cerdan was a member of the Blue Ridge team that won the 2024 Virginia state championship, and he has played internationally for Germany's U20 field as well as box national teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["173062"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":173091,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6968225578544"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This multi-skilled offensive prospect first caught our attention last summer at the Team 91 Invitational in New Jersey. Frisicaro is an athletic two-way midfielder with a high IQ. On offense Frisicaro's quick burst and shifty moves enable him to get downhill in a hurry and elude sliding defender. Then Frisicaro will use his filthy stick skills to fire a shot into the net while on the run. Frisicaro has repeatedly demonstrated that he can initiate from the wing and slip underneath his defender for a charge to the net. College coaches will love that Frisicaro can shoot from distance or finish in close with either hand. The combination of Frisicaro's field vision and precise passing makes him a fantastic distributor too. Defensively, Frisicaro's smooth lateral movements keep him glued to ball carriers until he can cause a turnover with a heavy stick or crowbar. This tenacious midfielder will pounce on the resulting ground ball and then use his speed to push the rock in transition.     </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["173063"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":173093,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69682255785a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hammond is an elite FOGO with polished technique, fast hands, and impeccable footwork. Those assets make it possible for Hammond to win the clamp cleanly on a high percentage of face offs and then sprint into the offensive end to create a scoring opportunity. Hammond has also shown that he can execute a clean clamp and then swiftly snap the ball to one of his wings. Still, the most impressive elements of Hammond's game could be his ability to play a physical brand of FOGO and simply overpower his opponent. Hammond excels at rotating and then boxing out his opponent or knocking his foe off balance by taking the body. Once Hammond has established his positioning advantage, he will then pounce on the GB and secure possession. That same physicality allows Hammond to drop to ground and grind out a win too. Another intriguing element to Hammond's skill set is his ability to operate as SSDM at a high level. In summer 2025 Hammond was a member of Team New Jersey at the New Balance All-America event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["173064"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":173095,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69682255785f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Owens is a multi-sport athlete (also plays football) with imposing size, excellent speed, and smooth stick skills. That list of assets enables Owens to effectively work as a two-way midfielder. On defense, Owens' football background leads to a physical brand of SSDM in which Owens causes turnovers by taking the body and via devastating crow bars. This agile and athletic midfielder can harass ball carrier in the open field too. Owens is also capable of locking off an opponent's No. 1 option for long stretches. At the offensive end, Owens excels in transition as a goal scorer and distributor. In settled action, Owens can initiate from the wing, sweep across the opposing defense, and then crank a shot on the run. Additionally, Owens has flashed the ability to carry the ball behind the net and initiate from X. Because of the power he generates and his quick release, Owens is a legitimate step-down shooting threat. Last spring Owens recorded 18 goals which is an impressive total for a prospect who spends a great deal of his minutes playing SSDM.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["173065"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":173097,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-696822557864f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During the 2025 high school season, Whitfield was a major contributor for a Gibbons squad that captured the North Carolina 4A state championship. Then this past fall Whitfield was an all-star selection at both the APEX Fall Championships and the One Percent Fall Uncommitted Showcase. So how this athletic, skilled, and high IQ pole remains available is a mystery. Whitfield's refined footwork and extremely active stick enable him to hound ball carriers all over the field. His ability to stay in front of a ball carrier is extremely impressive. When an opening presents itself, Whitfield will deliver a crafty poke, timely lift or a heavy stick check that puts the ball on the turf. Whitefield is a ground ball hawk who can secure that GB and then race into the offensive end. His ability to execute elusive stick maneuvers while in transition will catch opponents by surprise. Once he gets below the restraining line, Whitefield is a legitimate scoring threat.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
