After averaging 11 points, 3 boards and 2.5 assists freshman year, not to mention Rickey had a HUGE summer with the OSA 15u Crusaders only proving he is getting better with time. Sophomore year for the guard will be truly something to watch as he will look to lead the Packers back to success this hoops season.

Omaha Westside | 2024

| 6’3” 200lbs | F/C | Omaha Westside 2024
Stubblefield saw limited action on varsity as a freshman last hoops season, only to turn up the heat in the summer with the OSA 15u, Can move like a guard, and has no problem finishing around the rim. Westside returns a host of upperclassman, If not named a starter, I expect to see Stubblefield get extensive minutes this hoops season. Maybe even a 6th man role.

Millard South | 2023

| 6’3” 205lbs | F | Millard South 2023
In 23 games last season Rucker averaged 8points and 4 boards a game, shot 60% from the field. Pretty much a guaranteed bucket in the paint even displayed his versatile side in the summer. This guy has an enormous amount of potential and it’s only going to continue to grow into this hoops season. Millard South has a few returning starters from last season, I believe Rucker will be the centerpiece of their success.

Marks
6'2" | SF
Omaha Northwest | 2023
State
NE
| 6’2” 175lbs | F | Omaha Northwest 2023
Marks sophomore season averaged just a little under 3 points a game and 2 boards. I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if those numbers double, or tripled. The Huskies are coming off a 1 win season, and after losing a lot of seniors, Marks could be a valuable piece for a resurgence of Northwest basketball.

Thomas
6'0" | CG
Omaha Central | 2024
State
NE
| 5’11” 145lbs | G | Omaha North 2024
As a freshman, Thomas averaged 4.4 points a game, 35% from deep. A shifty quick ball handler, that can FINISH with just about anyone in the paint. After an unbelievable summer for the OSA 15u club, Thomas will most certainly keep the fire burning this winter. As he is the only underclassman in Omaha North’s projected starting 5.
