Just like with the Prep Hoops Michigan Top 250 Expo (Top 250 – Scout’s Notes), I’ll give you a sample of a few of the notes that I took from Let’s Get Ready IV.
Keyon Menifield Keyon Menifield 6'2" | PG Flint Beecher | 2021 State MI – just the quickest guy on the court; almost hiding the ball from defender w/ his dribble; Tough lefty finish; like the look of his baseline drive with up and under finish
Micah Saunders – came to play from tip – real quick opening deuce then steal, fast break and finish – 4 quick points
Christopher Coleman – As athletic as always but looks like way more comfortable shooting from behind arc – looks like he’s been working on it; Really could make perimeter D a weapon!
Jeremiah Henderson Jeremiah Henderson 6'0" | PG Detroit PershingArts & Media | 2022 State MI – Playing very aggressive on offense – attacking with dribble; Straight line drive with quick 1st step, puts defender in hip pocket; Strong finishes at rim even through contact
Jonah Botardo Jonah Botardo 5'5" | PG Troy Athens | 2022 State MI – not scared to go in and battle with the bigs
Malachi Black Malachi Black 6'7" | PF Detroit University Prep Art & Design | 2021 State MI – nice low post dish!; Cleaning up on boards – rebounding high; MUCH IMPROVED JUMPER / RANGE
Tyran Thomas Tyran Thomas 6'4" | SG Northview | 2023 State MI – Tough 2 handed finishes!
Aidan Rubio Aidan Rubio 6'6" | SF Goodrich | 2021 State MI – Quick release – dangerous behind arc – 3 triples so far!
Nick Ellis Nick Ellis 6'7" | PF Grand Ledge | 2022 State MI – Tough in the paint, making difference every possession; Pairs well with drive and dish point guard – makes himself available for dump off
Donald Davis Jr. – Has to be guarded!; Really active on offense, moves without the ball
Daniel Smythe – Kid is the real deal!; 3 point shot is so pure
Leo Kent Leo Kent 6'4" | SG Rochester Stoney Creek | 2023 State MI – Shifty scorer and creative with ball under rim
Andre Turner Andre Turner 6'1" | CG Livonia Stevenson | 2021 State MI – Prodding and testing the D when he has the ball
Teddy Williams Teddy Williams 6'6" | PF Grand Ledge | 2023 State MI – Continuing a really impressive fall!; At Top 250 showed toughness in paint, now showing perimeter skills by handling ball and hitting 3’s
Kentrell Pullian Kentrell Pullian 6'0" | CG Benton Harbor | 2021 State MI – Going either way off dribble; Quick firs step; Working really off, and working off, a screen
