Iron Hawks 18U 7v7 Notes III

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 7v7 Season is upon us, and this season I have worked closely with members of the Iron Hawks 7v7 team. In this article, we break down their roster, and how Coaches from Iona Prep, St. Anthony's and other top programs in New York, have come together to create an elite 18u squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While NY has had their Stock Up Showcase, many other states still have showcases.

Solomon is a new name to me, and stands at 5'9" 155-Pounds, displaying a solid build for an Athlete. To help fill out his frame, he should look to add 10-15-Pounds of good weight. Solomon will suit up for MacArthur this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Solomon is another two-way athlete who can play as a WR or a CB. Solomon has the power to take any catch for a long touchdown. The Senior, has a good release off the line, and quick footwork, that allows him to jump out of breaks at the top of his routes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I like his abilities after the catch, as he can break tackles, and reach his top speed with ease, making him a deadly threat in a 7v7 atmosphere, and a massive pickup for Iron Hawks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1649125"],"_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-697eb26e1d9f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCabe is a prospect I like a lot. His ability to play on both sides of the ball, along with his versatility as a WR/TE, make him a deadly weapon on any football field. He will suit up for Kellenberg this season, and standing at 6'4" 215-Pounds, displays an outstanding frame for a WR/TE. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On tape, his ability to line up on the line, or out wide makes him a major threat in any offense. He has outstanding hands, and his height allows him to make contested catches look easy. I like his body control, and he displays fluid hips that allow him to change his frame, and make highlight reel catches look easy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His frame is easily the most impressive. His catches on deep balls, and ability to make 50/50 catches seem easy, make him perfect for 7v7, and an easy addition for Iron Hawks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jahsiere Bell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"183","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bay Shore","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697eb26e1daa5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is Jahsiere Bell. Bell attends Bay Shore, and is an unknown prospect to Prep Redzone. He mainly plays on the defensive side of the ball, and I like him as a LB/DB in the 7v7 Circuit. Standing at 5'8" 183-Pounds, he displays a solid build for both positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bell has an outstanding IQ, and is a playmaker that can drop into coverage as a Safety, or be used as an extra Blitz man when needed. He has good physicality, and can shed blocks and make big hits and good tackles in the run game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I like his type of DB/LB a lot, and in a 7v7 circuit, he can be a valuable bruiser in the middle of the field, and shut down crossing passing lanes for Iron Hawks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Joe Smith","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"155","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Calhoun","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697eb26e1db3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joe Smith is another new name for the Prep Redzone Community. The 2027 Athlete, attends Calhoun High School, and stands at 5'9" 155-Pounds, displaying a solid build for an Athlete. I want to see him reach the 170-Pound mark to help fill out his build. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith played mainly as a DB, and this is the position I feel fits him the best. I like his footwork, as a DB, and he has a good break off the line. Smith is a true ball hawk, who has the ability to disrupt any play with his hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is a young intriguing athlete, who has some impressive film, and can be a valuable defensive piece for the Iron Hawks chess board. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kevin Hope","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"150","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Newfield ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697eb26e1dbce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last is Kevin Hope. Hope is another two-way playmaker joining the 18u squad this season, and attends Newfield High School. Standing at 5'8" 150-Pounds, he displays an undersized build. To help fill out his frame, he should look to add 10-15-Pounds of good weight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hope has limited film, and I have yet to see him suit up for Iron Hawks yet, but from what I have seen, he displays a good IQ, along with solid footwork which is vital in a 7v7 setting, making him a valuable playmaker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
