2022
Danny Wolf (Mac Irvin Fire)
This was my first time seeing Wolfe since he moved out east for prep school. Wow was he impressive! He has legit size as a power forward along with a well built body. When he gets in a college weight program his body will continue to get stronger. The skill set jumps off the page. He is such a high level passer for a post. Consistently grabbed defensive rebounds, pushed the other way with handles weaving through defenders, and dished for assists. Very good area rebounder and has touch around the hoop. Mid-major plus/high-major minus type guy.
Reggie Bass (Team Teague)
This was my first time checking out the recent Illinois commit in person. Lefty shooting guard has good strength and a college ready frame. He was tough getting downhill with his tight handles through traffic. What might have stood out the most was his passing. He threw some absolute dimes with flair. Going to be a versatile chess piece in the Big 10 for the Illini.
Leland Walker (Team Teague)
Walker is a tough point guard that makes plays off the bounce getting downhill and has some range on his shot at times. Like his passing feel getting his plethora of weapons involved. Easy to see why he holds multiple high-major offers heading into June.
Charlie Williams (Team Teague)
Williams is a five man that can really stretch the floor with his shooting. Lengthy post is a solid athlete with a feathery touch from distance. Shot blocking presence at the rim. Mid-majors would be wise to take a look here.
Rasheed Jones (Team Teague)
Long and rangy shooting guard that brings position versatility on both ends of the floor. Capable spot up shooter and is a solid slasher putting it on the deck for scores.
Ryan Conwell (EG10)
Conwell is among the more under recruited guards in the Midwest. He has plays under control and takes over when he needs to for his team. Quickness off the bounce getting in the lane where he likes to finish. Solid distributor and has a sweet pull up jumper. Low-majors should be all over him in June and July!
Louie Semona (Midwest Basketball Club)
Liked what his long and lanky power forward brought to the table. Stretched the floor with his perimeter shooting nailing a trio of them on his way to 19 points. Was comfortable putting it on the deck as well. Got fouled several times on drives.
Noah Rich (Midwest Basketball Club)
Rich can really shoot the rock. The shooting guard was money off the catch and also had a couple of crafty finishes inside.
Xavier Zubric (Louisville Storm)
Rangy forward that rim runs very well and was active on the offensive glass. A lot of his game is predicated off his athleticism.
2023
Kaden Brown (Mac Irvin Fire)
This Michigan wing was a straight bucket for the Fire 16U squad. Versatile scoring guard that got to the rim with consistency in both transition and the half court. Decent looking shot and had a few sick passes.
2024
Jordan Lomax (INB Elite)
Lomax is a long and rangy combo guard that put up huge numbers over the weekend. Thin and wiry guard is excellent at maneuvering his body and slithering through the defense for buckets in the paint. Relentless attacking off the bounce and made so many trips to the line. Also knocked in a pair of threes in his 25 point outing.
Mason Harvey (All Area Basketball Gold)
This power forward opened our eyes on Sunday morning. Runs the floor with ease, rebounds very well in his area, and has range out to beyond the arc. Face up four to track!
D’amare Hood (All Area Basketball Gold)
Smooth athlete at the two guard spot that knocked in a trio from deep for all nine of his points.
