Mitchell Rylee Mitchell Rylee 6'8" | C Covington Catholic | 2022 State KY (2022) Midwest Basketball Club 3SSB (Covington Catholic)
Rylee is technically a Kentucky kid, but similar to Jacob Meyer Jacob Meyer 6'2" | PG Holy Cross Covington | 2023 #170 Nation GA and Reed Sheppard Reed Sheppard 6'3" | PG North Laurel | 2023 State #22 Nation KY , I am including him in this piece since he plays for an Ohio based AAU program. Rylee impressed on the rebounding end as he was phenomenal on the offensive glass. Keeps the ball high on rebounds and goes up strong through contact. Has a nice spin move on the block and finished well. Just recently picked up an offer from Miami (OH) and continues to be a D1/D2 target.
Louie Semona Louie Semona 6'7" | PF St Xavier | 2022 State OH (2022) Midwest Basketball Club-Adkins (St. Xavier)
Semona continues to impress me every time I watch him compete for Midwest. The 6’7 PF is truly a stretch 4 with a great handle of the basketball. Can play inside-out. Really physical on the interior and competes with whoever he is tasked with. Mismatch when he is on the perimeter.
Aamir Rogers Aamir Rogers 6'6" | C Fairfield | 2023 State OH (2023) Midwest Basketball Club 3SSB (Fairfield)
Really liked his size at 6’7 and plays like a PF more than a Center. Rogers was one of the few guys I watched that actually boxed out opponents and especially excelled against Mass Rivals. Good low post defender, physical pushing around guys on the block and fronts the post taking away entry passes. Continues to impress me and should be a target next year for Regional colleges.
Jason Lavender (2023) Midwest Basketball Club Gold (Lakota West)
Lavender was a newer name for me not seeing him before today. Persistent offesnvie rebounder and competes on the glass every possession. Combines some size with athleticism to create mismatches on the blocks. Will be intrigued to see how his role will be with Lakota West but is bound to have some good battles in the GMC with opposing bigs.
Cameron Grant Cameron Grant 6'5" | PF Saint Edward | 2023 State OH (2023) OBC (St. Edward)
Good rebounding threat for a guard heavy OBC team. Box outs were solid and firm against Minnesota Fury. Confident putting the ball on the floor. Long arms.
