Tory Allen (6-1, PG, Arthur Hill)
“Reminds you alot of another former Arthur Hill standout in Eric Davis. Great mid-range game and on ball defender.” – Paul Carmona
Drew Barrie (6-4, Wing, Midland High)
“3 sport star that can defend any position 1-5.”
– Paul Carmona
Miekael “Fresh” Brooker (6-5, Forward, Saginaw High)
“Big time motor and is a pure athlete that is long and active. Great upside as he continues to develop into a natural wing.” – Paul Carmona
Trent Ciesla, 5-8 guard, Saginaw Heritage
Mekhi Ellison, 5-7 PG, Carman-Ainsworth
“Elite point guard is one the state’s top point guards in a loaded PG class in 2022. 1 man press breaker and can fill it up with his craftiness.” – Paul Carmona
Brayden George (6-5, PF, Marlette)
“Younger brother of Bryce George and their play is identical, younger brother is more skilled than what big brother was as a freshman.” – Paul Carmona
Bryson Huckeby (6-3, Wing, Freeland)
“Dad is a college coach, Grandpa is a hall of fame HS coach in Indiana, and Bryson plays like a coaches son. High I.Q. that seems think on the floor before they actually develop. Great outside shot.” – Paul Carmona
David Lally Jr (6-3, Wing/Forward, Grand Blanc)
“A Flint blue collar workhorse that just never stops competing. Very crafty on the offensive end.” – Paul Carmona
Elvis Machul Jr (5-11, Guard, Arthur Hill)
“Known for his shooting and quick release but is quickly developing his handles and point guard play.” – Paul Carmona
Chris Smith (6-4, Forward, Arthur Hill)
“Plays like your neighborhood bully. He just out toughs guys. Great finisher and rebounder and loves to compete.” – Paul Carmona
Terrell Walker (5-10, Guard, Flint Beecher)
Overview
“This group has a chance to be special if they continue to develop. 9 of our 15u players played Varsity as freshman so these guys know how to play. We have 6 guys between 6-3 and 6-5 that are all athletes and playmakers. All of them are interchangeable and can play facing up. ‘Fresh’ and Chris Smith lead the way and are monsters on the glass. They both have a chance to be really special.”
“Our backcourt of Ellison and Allen can both handle the point and get off at the 2 spot.”
– Paul Carmona
Outlook
I would choose either “versatile” or “well rounded” to describe this team. They have players that can fill multiple roles with the diversity in their games, and at the same time, they have someone that can fit into any role that the team needs. The Program 15u has a lot of athletes with big upsides.
