[No. 6] Devontae Blanton | 6-6 SF | St. Edward / All Ohio Red
Skilled scorer with a strong body. Came back from an untimely injury in late-June. Blanton provides playmaking ability in the pick-and-roll but can also turn into a score-minded wing playing off the ball. Rebounds well. His body allows him to absorb contact and finish through contact as a slasher.
[No. 9] Trey Robinson | 6-7 SF | Hamilton / Apex Gold
Akron, Ball State, Buffalo, Duquesne, Illinois State, Loyola Chicago, Miami (OH), Northern Kentucky, Ohio, and Toledo have offered this season’s top stock-riser since our last update.
Robinson has upside as a shot-creator and scorer. Smooth and fluid wing who can shoot over the top and finishes in the lane with grace. Effective in the halfcourt or open floor.
[No. 10] VonCameron Davis | 6-5 SF | Walnut Ridge / C2K Elite
Certified shot-maker who continues to add consistency to his outside shooting ability to go with his uncanny finishing prowess. Uses the spin move and backboard to score old-fashioned blue collar buckets in the paint. Versatile defender of forwards of any type.
Merrimack, Stetson, Wright State, and Cleveland State offered during his 17U campaign.
[No. 17] Max Land | 6-4 SF | Moeller / Manimal Elite
Explosive athlete who has become a more patient and effective scorer in the halfcourt. Explosive enough to get a clean shot up in the lane at any time. Can defend a wide variety of athletes because of his blend of strength, burst, and size. Mid-range jumper has become more consistent.
Saint Francis (PA) and Air Force offered.
[No. 22] Marcus Johnson | 6-3 SF | Columbus South / All Ohio Red
Quick-twitch athlete who specializes in defense. Laterally quick and vertically explosive enough to defend at any level. Stays attached to quick ball-handlers, often staying in their shorts for 94 feet. Terrific rebounder who likes to push off the defensive glass. Finisher.
Akron offered in early-May.
[No. 29] Hunter Shedenhelm | 6-5 SF | Pickerington North / Nova (Alleyne)
Provides floor spacing as an outside shooter while being an active defender with length on the other end. Competes. Quick decision-maker. Finishes with balance off two-feet while also scoring above the rim in transition. Lean frame.
Ashland, Urbana, LeMoyne Owen, and Cedarville offered.

[No. 32] Dominick Moegerle | 6-5 SF | Hoban / SMAC Primetime
Walsh commit. Moegerle is a versatile athlete who provides rebounding and possesses an inside scoring game. Explosively attacks the rim when he has an open lane. Runs the floor and becomes a nightmare in transition.
[No. 49] Paul Burris | 6-5 SF | Delaware Hayes / Mid Ohio Pumas (Staib)
Consistent catch-and-shoot weapon with collegiate size. Displays skill when he puts it on the floor, whether that’s finishing a straight-line-drive or settling into his mid-post game. Good athlete off the floor with light feet and an intriguing frame.
Indiana Tech offered in mid-July.
[No. 51] Garrison Keeslar | 6-4 SF | Green
High academic wing with good positional size and shooting ability. Efficient scoring package. Capable ball-handler who flashes vision and playmaking ability when he attacks out of the triple threat.
[No. 54] Kaden Fuhrmann | 6-4 SF | Lakota East / Shining Star – Price
Knockdown shooter with his feet set. Comfortable and effective slashing either direction when he doesn’t catch it with an open shot available. Quick first step. Comes from a quality high school program.
Delta State, Hillsdale, Urbana, and Thomas More offered.
