Power Forward Ashton Pankey will be in College Park taking his official visit this weekend. The St Anthony’s product is 6’8 230lb. Here is a synopsis on him from espn.com.  ”Pankey has traditionally been a player who impacted the game by rebounding, defending, and being active around the basket. He’s an impressive athlete with long arms, good hands, and a strong frame who finishes very well around the basket, runs the court, defends multiple positions, blocks shots, and is especially effective on the offensive glass. While his offensive skill set hasn’t shown any notable progression, his biggest development is playing with a much more consistent motor, which is crucial given his type of game. While he would need to develop an offensive weapon to take his game to the next level, there is plenty of value in a big man who doesn’t need to have plays called for him to impact the game and does all of the “little things” inside the paint.
