Brendan Sullivan Brendan Sullivan 6'5" | SF Davison | 2021 State MI (Davison High School): Sullivan is the 30th ranked player in the senior class in Michigan. The 6’5 forward has a quick release on his outside shot, uses pump fakes very well, and can consistently make shots with a defender in his face. Sullivan is also the 26th ranked pro-style quarterback according to 247 Sports‘ composite rankings. He committed to play football at Northwestern, turning down offers from Buffalo, Eastern Michigan, Indiana, Toledo, and others.
Connor Dykema Connor Dykema 6'7" | PF Grand Rapids South Christian | 2021 State MI (Grand Rapids South Christian): Dykema comes in two spots behind Sullivan at #32. Although he has a pretty slow release on his outside shot, he can still knock down shots from the perimeter. With that said, though, Dykema likes to hang out around the rim mainly, and he has a smooth reverse layup and good footwork in the paint. The 6’7 power forward has also improved his ball handling in recent years.
Thomas Kurowski Thomas Kurowski 6'4" | SF Sturgis | 2021 State MI (Sturgis High School): Kurowski is best known for his shooting ability. He’s a pure 3-point shooter, has a quick release, and gets a lot of lift on his jump shot. The 6’4 forward also has a smooth floater, can pass well with both hands, and has improved his playmaking over the last couple of years. He is the 36th ranked player in the state heading into his senior campaign and has the potential to be the best player on this list.
Malachi Black Malachi Black 6'7" | PF Detroit University Prep Art & Design | 2021 State MI (Detroit University Prep Art & Design): Black is three spots behind Kurowski and also has a chance to keep climbing up the rankings. For now, the 6’7 power forward is ranked 39th. He is hard to contain on the glass and has improved, and will look to continue improving, his footwork and post moves. He’s the 7th ranked player in Detroit’s City Rankings, behind the likes of Pierre Brooks Pierre Brooks 6'5" | SG Detroit Douglass | 2021 State #76 Nation MI , Omar Ziegler Omar Ziegler 6'5" | CG Detroit King | 2021 State MI , Javantae Randle Javantae Randle 6'9" | PF Detroit Frederick Douglass | 2021 State MI , JonMarcus Roland JonMarcus Roland 6'2" | CG UD Jesuit | 2021 State MI , and others.
Brandon Hunt Brandon Hunt 6'7" | PF Williamston | 2021 State MI (Williamston High School): Hunt has gotten a lot better over the last few years and he has improved his jumping ability, as well as becoming more efficient around the rim. He also runs the floor well in transition and can make plays in the open court. The 6’7 power forward out of Williamston is the 40th ranked senior-to-be in Michigan.
