Brayden Arnold (Howell)
Arnold is a freshman with a very confident stroke on his jumper. There was no hesitation on his shot. Arnold could fire it directly off the catch. He didn’t need a prep dribble or an adjustment, just caught it in the shooting pocket and put it up.
Ayden Dirschell (Coldwater)
They’ve got something good going on in Coldwater these days. There’s some real talent filtering through that school and it doesn’t look to be slowing down. Dirschell is a tough 2 way player with a lot of upside to his game. He’s a prospect to keep an eye on in the coming years.
Stevie Elam Stevie Elam 6'2" | CG Adrian | 2025 State MI (Adrian)
Elam was electric at Flight Hankamp. He’s a big time playmaker with the ball and can break down his defender. Elam can already score at all 3 levels. Elam looks like an instant impact freshman.
Andrew Lake (Troy)
Lake really stood out as a passer at Flight Hankamp. He threw crisp kick out passes on target to open shooters. Lake even had the ball under the rim and threw a smart pass across the lane for an even easier look.
Darryl Thompkins Jr. (Michigan Collegiate Academy)
This young man showed up to Flight Hankamp with a purpose. He was fast down the floor with the ball and constantly played downhill. He reminded me of a young Brady Titus Brady Titus 5'10" | PG Tri-Unity Christian | 2022 State MI . Thompkins Jr. is a leader on the basketball court already.
Eric Spillers (Flint Carman-Ainsworth)
Spillers is a lean athlete with a ton of upside. He moves smoothly and fluidly up and down the floor. As he gains strength and experience, the sky is the limit.
Lance Stone (Detroit Renaissance)
Stone is a must see freshman and instant impact type player. He did a nice job controlling tempo by throwing pin point passes up the floor. Stone also created off the dribble. He had well developed moves including a hesitation dribble and a head fake that worked multiple times.
