I saw Roszkowski play for the first time about two years ago at the IMLCA Players Summit in Florida. He’s got a great motor, but that’s almost a prerequisite to be considered for high-level looks. What I like about him most is his ability to space the field and make timely cuts and serve as reactive support to ball carriers. For Pingree, he picked his spots and regularly committed to the up-down-off shift that defines two-way midfield play. I think he’s going to see a lot more of the ball this season as he heads to Episcopal (Va.), and he’s already served in that role for his club team. Versatility can sometimes be a curse when it comes to this early part of the recruiting season. However, the more spots on the field that you can fit into, the more valuable you become to teams that value that adaptability.

When I sat down to watch the Blazers, Roszkowski rang two almost back-to-back shots off the pipe that immediately got my attention. He has a big windup and puts real velocity on the ball, both on the run and with his feet set, which lets him stretch a defense. He made things happen right-handed, whether he was sweeping across the middle or getting down the alley, and he drew a lot of defensive attention because of it. I love how willing he was to get to the middle and move it under pressure, kicking the ball out to open teammates instead of forcing shots. On the defensive end, he held his own and has some good potential there as well.
