Combine that list of assets with Bradburn's sharp offensive instincts and it is easy to see how he recorded 44 goals and 47 dimes during his sophomore season. In 2026, Bradburn proved to be a shifty ball carrier who could initiate from anywhere in the offensive end. Bradburn's ability to dodge going to his left or his right as well as the fact that he can shoot / pass with both hands made him extremely difficult to defend 1v1. Once Bradburn had blown past his defender, he was a threat to shoot or pass while on the move. Bradburn's swift release and precise aim enabled him to rip sidearms and overhands into the net from GLE as well as the wing. His field vision, unselfish nature and passing skills allowed Bradburn to deliver creative assists. Bradburn was especially effective at feeding cutters from X. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["177927"],"_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":177960,"_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-6a1b4d0b3a4a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">How this athletic and versatile lefty with filthy stick skills remains available is a mystery. During his junior campaign, Combs poured in 98 goals and dished out 49 dimes. 2026 marked the second straight season that Combs has scored 88 or more goals. Combs is a two-way midfielder who can also run at attack. On offense, Combs can initiate from numerous spots on the field. He excels at using a stutter step or split dodge to cook the initial defender and then charge to the net for a close-in scoring chance. Or Combs can cook his defender, dash to open space, slam on the breaks and rip from distance. Combs has shown repeatedly that he can absorb significant contact on his dodges. College coaches will love Combs timely off-ball movements that produce clean catch and fire opportunities. Combs is the frequent recipient of double teams as well as early sides. His high IQ enables Combs to recognize those schemes early and swiftly move the ball to an open teammate. On defense Combs is a menacing on-ball presence who can cause a turnover and then use his speed to operate as a one man clear. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["174698"],"_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-6a1b4d0b3a4dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I know that NCAA compliance regulations do not allow college coaches to offer a 2029 prospect right now, but I am going to suspend that rule for this article and buy early on Strohl. In 2026, this long and athletic ball hawk was a freshman starter for PW who snared 138 ground balls and caused 51 turnovers. Strohl has a unique ability press out on a ball carrier, cause a turnover, then scoop and go. He did a tremendous job of getting into offensive players early in their dodge. Strohl's solid frame, long wingspan and physicality then allowed him to dictate the ball carrier's path. For freshman, Strohl demonstrated extremely polished footwork and a deep bag of stick checks. That combination made Strohl a tremendous 1v1 defender behind the net. Additionally, Strohl was an excellent team defender who flashed a solid understanding of slide packages as well as when to execute double teams. Lastly, Strohl displayed a knack for intercepting or knocking down passes. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["142298"],"_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-6a1b4d0b3a502"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In his first season playing for Henderson, Stukis provided an extraordinary scoring punch. This spring Stukis pumped home 77 goals and delivered 23 assists. Back in early May, Stukis posted an incredible ten goal performance against Coatesville. Stukis is a highly skilled attack who pairs speed with refined footwork and elite stick skills. That trifecta enabled Stukis to create scoring opportunities in numerous ways this season. His feel for the game combined with timely off-ball movements allowed him to capitalize on catch-and-crank chances. Stukis was also a master a sweeping from X, receiving a pass around the crease and then dunking it home. This 2028 prospect also showcased the ability to get downhill form the wing or X, beat multiple defenders and then finish around the cage. Stukis' non-stop motor and aggressive approach on the ride were on display all season. He frequently pressured opposing defenseman or even goalies into turnovers. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["171993"],"_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-6a1b4d0b3a522"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During his fantastic sophomore campaign at Shady Side, the versatile Tierney dominated games from LSM as well as close defense. The first item that popped about Tierney's skill set was his ability to stay in front of ball carriers. His smooth lateral movements, defensive instincts and agility enabled Tierney to repeatedly beat ball carriers to spots and then turn them. As an on-ball defender, Tierney also displayed extreme patience. He tracked opponents until they made a mistake and then unleashed a powerful stick check or crafty poke that caused a turnover. Tierney's ability to navigate over or around screens is an underrated skill that helped him to stay glued to ball carriers for long stretches. This 2028 prospect also demonstrated that he owns the speed, cut back moves and stick skills to push the rock in transition. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
