GVSU Prospect Camp #1 Impressions (1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A few hours ago, I had the pleasure of attending Grand Valley State's first prospect camp of the summer. This was the largest GLIAC camp I've ever attended, with well over 200 prospects in attendance. Here are my impressions of the guys I was able to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size"><br>Note- This was a massive camp. At camps like these, I tend to focus on one position group. It's impossible for me to get a good look at everybody. This time, I focused my attention on OL/DL. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Impressions</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>G/C | [player_tooltip player_id='1301053' first='Zachary' last='Kitchen'] | Harper Creek | <a href="https://x.com/ZacharyKitchen2">@ZacharyKitchen2</a> </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size">(94Black)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Another great camp</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Moves well for size</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A number of great 1on1 wins</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Consistent fundamentals all-around</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Confident evaluation of low-tier D2 prospect;
