One of the best-kept secrets on the south-side is Korstjens, a nimble scoring guard who led Bridge Creek in scoring with over 18-a-night in his junior season. Korstjens’ agility is his most impressive athletic trait; he uses it to get to the rim and hit tough, acrobatic shots with smooth hand-work against contact. He’s also a capable shooter from the mid-range game, using the same skills to create separation from defenders and sink shots. His arsenal includes a nice spin-move, power drive, jump-stop and rip. From beyond the arch, Korstjens is known to pull exceptionally deep shots from the catch, where his experienced foot-work aids him in adjusting to position himself true to the bucket before converting. Though it isn’t clear how where his recruiting will take him yet, I recommend that schools from the G.A.C, Sooner Athletic Conference or K.C.A.C take a look at his film.

After maximizing production in bench minutes his sophomore year, Price became a nightly fixture in North’s offense his junior year and, again, did not disappoint. Playing primarily a three-and-D role, the premium on Price’s recruiting is contingent upon his consistency; In two seasons, he has had no shortage of it. Thanks to his height, he doesn’t often struggle with hitting shots over defenders, so his night-in, night-out accuracy from beyond the arch bodes well for how his production will translate in college. He can fill up the stat sheet, but if he can only get a handful of shots in a match, he doesn’t push to toss-up heat-checks so as not to dilute the Huskies’ possessions. He’s pretty much as efficient as they come, and should his senior year prove fortuitous, Price could be a 12-to-15-point contributor every night. Defensively, the obvious advantage of his lankiness culminates with his agility and iQ to help him stay in front of defenders, make plays to stop buckets in transition and steal possessions. Schools in the G.A.C, Sooner Athletic Conference, K.C.A.C and other regional conferences should heavily consider Price as a candidate for an offer. Here is a link to his highlight reel.
