In The Spotlight: Robert Rossi (Ball Hawks)
AAU Teams: Ball Hawks
Position: Shooting Guard
Class: 2023
Breakdown: Rossi was another player we saw during our trip to Moody Park. He left early so we weren’t able to get his photo. Rossi played well in his team’s loss as he got buckets from the inside and on the perimeter. I also like his nose for the ball as he appeared to be at the right place at the right time.
