Throughout the afternoon everybody was placed into teams and played games that were sixteen-minute halves, as well as going athletic testing off the court. Here are the players who stood out the most from beyond the three-point line at the Soldier 24 Invite.
Cam Binder Cam Binder 6'0" | CG Auburn | 2021 State NE – Auburn
A two-time state champion, the 6’1 guard from Auburn has received plenty of D2 attention following his summer campaign with OSA 17U Adidas 3SSB. Binder, arguably the best 3 point shooter in the state of Nebraska, did his thing at the Soldier 24 Invite and was hitting from deep even when he was closely guarded. Binder is a certified sniper from behind the arch.
Brendan Buckley Brendan Buckley 6'3" | SG Creighton Prep | 2021 State NE – Creighton Prep
A 6’3 shooting guard, Buckley will thrive this year for Prep on the perimeter. He shot 50% from the field and 43% from 3 last season for the Junior Jays, and his shooting was certainly on display on Saturday. He’s got a quick catch and release, while also being a just a tough player all around. His only offer right now is from Morningside College, but a big senior season should help that list grow.
Frankie Fidler Frankie Fidler 6'6" | SF Bellevue West | 2021 State NE – Bellevue West
One of the most intriguing uncommitted seniors in the state, Fidler had an injury-plagued summer campaign for Team Factory, Fidler looked healthy on Saturday and was shooting the ball very well from deep. At 6’5, Fidler holds multiple mid-major D1 offers and will look to add some more during his senior campaign with the defending Class A state champs at Bellevue West.
Marcus Shakeer Marcus Shakeer 6'3" | SG Omaha Benson | 2021 State NE – Omaha Benson
Shakeer is an incredibly athletic 6’3 guard who can get buckets in a hurry. He was pulling up from deep on Saturday and showcasing his range. Couple that with some athletic plays at the rim, including a couple of one-handed dunks, and his day was pretty solid from start to finish. He will be one of the more impressive bucket getters in Class A this coming season.
