Open gyms: Oswego Community!!!!!

Big Tim's express made it out to Oswego Community High School. Open gym was in the main gym and a couple of college coaches were in the gym as well. Thanks to coaching staff for having me out. Yes it was a long drive. Here we go:

• 

TRAY ALFORD, 5'10" Class of 2027 point guard was attacking the rim off the dribble and scoring. Lefty was hitting mid range jumpers and hit a couple of threes off the dribble. Defended multiple positions. Set up teammates off dribble penetration for passes to open three point shooters, and cutters to the rim.

• 

ETHAN VAHL, 6'3" Class of 2028 point guard was dishing the ball all over the court for baskets. No look passes, passes through traffic right on the money for layups. Scored on all three levels, threes from allover the court, off the dribble, step backs, off the catch. Attacked the rim off the dribble in transition and halfcourt to score baskets. Best player in the gym.

• 

COLE JANSONS, 6'11" Class of 2028 forward was changing ends getting three point shots off trailing the play. Secured defensive rebounds and outlet the ball in transition. Scored on touches in the paint and around the rim. Still a work in progress but is getting better each day on the court. Looks better than he did even from travel basketball played a couple of months ago.

• 

MJ JOHNSON, 5'11" Class of 2028 combo guard was hitting threes in transition, running to his spots and hitting them mostly off the catch. Attacked the rim off the dribble in halfcourt sets and scoring, or setting up teammates at the rim and open threes. Defended multiple perimeter positions picking up dribblers in half court.

• 

JAYDEN ALFORD, 6'2" Class of 2029 combo guard was on fire from three in the open gym. Hit them from just behind the line and from as much as 25 feet out. Attacked the rim off the dribble in transition, and getting to mid range jumpers in halfcourt. Lefty sniper's stroke was on point most of the practice. Second best player in the gym.

CONCLUSION:

Oswego will likely start in the Top 10 in the Chicago Area, amongst strong teams in the Western Suburbs this year. All conference player Graham Schwab was not in the gym, he's playing football. He's a do it all player who helps at multiple positions on the court. Strong guad line of Vahl, Alford brothers, and Johnson (Vahl's cousin). Jansons will have to rim protect, defensive rebound and provide inside scoring, also is a weapon on step out threes. Defensive rebounding and defense will be key. Scoring should not be a problem, will play fast and have Vahl, and the Alford's can get shots at end of shot clock. Should compete in Southwest Prairie West Conference with Bolingbrook, and Yorkville.
