Fastbreak AAU
Fastbreak AAU players play hard, play ferocious.
FRONTCOURT: Rodney Broadnax Rodney Broadnax 6'5" | PF Cleveland | 2023 TN Jr. owns the paint at the 15u level. Right now he is a dominating big. Projecting his basketball path beyond 15u is challenging if only because he is currently an undersized 4-man at the high school varsity level. Today, we won’t spend too much time looking into his future though. Right now…today Rodney is more athletic, more powerful, and more hungry than the average 2023. RB cares more about rebounds, and augmenting this advantage is his naturally powerful frame. Mid-July, Broadnax earned PrepHoopsTN “The Weekend: 15u All-Tournament Team.”
Judah Sault Judah Sault 6'5" | SF Cleveland | 2023 State TN defends the 2-3 positions currently. At 6-foot-4, Sault looks like a budding college wing prospect. For Fastbreak, Sault is among the best perimeter defenders. Not overly jacked physically, Sault uses his brain and his feet to keep his shoulders squared up.
Judah Sault Judah Sault 6'5" | SF Cleveland | 2023 State TN ’s 2017 Outdoor PRs (per MileSplit.com) | |

#10 6’4 F RODNEY BROADNAX JR. (CLEVELAND HS)*
#15 6’1 PF J.D. KIRKPATRICK (BRADLEY HS)
#21 6’2 PF MAVERICK DASHER (CLEVELAND HS)
BACKCOURT: Jasen Brooks Jasen Brooks 6'1" | PG Cleveland | 2023 State TN moves like a dream with the body of a senior linebacker. There really is little he can’t do better than most 15u players. Division 1 basketball is a very strong possibility and college coaches are already in early contact. Brooks earned LakePoint Showcase All-Tournament Team honors as the lone representative from Fastbreak AAU.
High-energy Gabe Leeper adds a unique element to the largely Cleveland-based squad. Leeper slashes with purpose and really takes on a scoring responsibility when paired with the second unit. Great fire. Wonderful intensity attacking in the open floor. Leeper is a fast guard that really comes alive when called upon. Projects as a lead guard.
Alex Hyder looks like a D1 prospect at the outset. Fellow guards (Camden Gober, Bradin Minton Bradin Minton 6'2" | PG Volunteer | 2023 State TN ) also project as future college targets.
KEY TO SUCCESS: Energy. While BMaze clearly has the talent and even more clearly has the size to win basketball games they do suffer from “flatlining” on occasion. AAU basketball is a grind and it can be challenging to emotionally re-charge before every game. BMaze, at least early in this AAU season, appears to be most successful when coach calls the 2-2-1 press. The players buy in and deflect passes often. The turnovers and quick scores quickly give the entire program a blood rush.
