We've seen a lot of players come through our doors over the years, varying in appearance, skill level, and everything in between. We decided to put forth a 'Getting to Know' series on some players who have attended events but still remain on the lesser-known side of things. Each of these prospects embody being a student-athlete and getting it done in the classroom as well as on the basketball court, and today's edition will take a closer look at'Jarrod Small of Henderson Collegiate.'

We've seen Small an abundance of times, including most recently at our All-American camp, where we stated, 'Finishing up, we look at a player who proved to be a definite asset through his toughness and blue-collar approach, Jarrod Small. He's a long, mobile, athletic forward/post prospect with an active motor on both ends of the floor. Small stood out as a strong rebounder, collected a ton of second-chance opportunities, and capitalized on finishing opportunities whenever available. He finishes well around the basket and understands how to outwork opponents with consistency. Next in his development process is working on improving his off-ball awareness on defense, as it would lead to more forced turnovers. Coach Simpson on Small: 'Jarrod has some nice physical attributes (like strength and athleticism), but can work to improve his overall feel for the game. His bounce, length, and strength make him a strong driver, as he's able to get to the rim from beyond the arc with just one dribble'regardless if a defender is on his hip. However, he can work on going to his off-hand, mixing up his scoring moves, and shooting off the bounce.' Small produced quite nicely as the primary interior presence for his camp team, and should receive attention from college coaches throughout the upcoming season.'

Going forward, Small will need to be an integral part of the equation in order for Henderson Collegiate to reach their maximum success. His transition from a useful role player to a main piece should be somewhat seamless, especially given his overall mentality. Small makes his presence felt through being tough, active, and displaying a blue-collar approach on both ends of the floor. He finishes well around the basket, both above the rim and through contact, and finds a ton of opportunities through outworking opponents on the offensive glass. Small also runs the floor well in transition and plays bigger than his size would imply. Expect him to produce throughout the season and ultimately receive an uptick in attention from college coaches.
