[no. 77] Tre Massey | 6-2 SG | Brunswick / SMAC Attack
Massey is a phenomenal shooter off the catch. His consistency and ability to hit without much space impresses. Aggressive and confident jump shooter who seeks the shot even in transition. Solid positional size.
[no. 87] Jackson Izzard | 6-2 G | Alder / Mid Ohio Pumas (Norris)
Knockdown outside shooter who is adding an inside game. Scoring more consistently inside with creative and strong gathers around the basket, primarily a spin move. Makes good decisions and has upside to become a true point guard.
[no. 98] Tyler Kindberg | 6-4 SG | Worthington Christian / Nova (Lemon)
Explosive athlete with a motor. Kindberg impresses in things like transition defense and weak-side offensive rebounding — areas of the game where effort and pure athleticism are valuable. Wants to score at the rim and doesn’t shy away from contact. Sprints to the rim on back-cuts and while filling a lane in transition.
[no. 100] CamRon McKenzie | 6-2 SG | Hughes / Apex Gold 17U
Wing scorer who attacks closeouts and has a knack for finishing tough layups. Strong body. Shot 38.8 percent on 3-pointers last season. Straight-line-driver. Provides defensive rebounding.
[no. 105] Marcus Stewart | 6-2 SG | The Wellington School / Probound
Long and skilled score-minded guard. The lefty can hit shots off the bounce and likes to probe the 3-point line looking for separation to shoot it. Uses changes of speed and direction to get into the paint.
[no. 108] Trevor Wensink | 6-2 SG | Toledo Christian
Energetic and long swingman who provides defensive versatility and scoring at the rim. Shows passing ability on the attack but can also beat opponents to the basket with speed. Active hands. Unselfish. Finisher.
[no. 114] Cody Lantz | 6-2 SG | Shelby / Extreme Heat
Lantz has good size and shooting ability. Stretches the floor with his jumper and will hurt defenses if he has room to drive, too. A reliable scorer overall. Makes quick decisions with the ball. Strong enough to rebound and defend wings.
