Zevin Gadson Zevin Gadson 6'2" | SG Akron Buchtel | 2024 State OH , 6’2 SG Buchtel 2024: Gadson is a high-flying off-guard prospect who impressed with Buchtel early in the season. Gadson has some ridiculous highlights including windmill dunks. Gadson is also a solid catch and shoot floor spacer and played well off Khoi Thurmon Khoi Thurmon 6'1" | PG Buchtel | 2023 State OH , helping Buchtel get some big early season wins.
Braylin Wells Braylin Wells 6'7" | C Pickerington Central | 2024 State OH , 6’7 C Buchtel 2024: Wells is an active rim protector who left Pickerington Central for a better chance at playing time with Buchtel. Wells always is looking to contest shots at the rim and despite seeing him get dunked on before, I love his activity at the rim and his willingness to continue to try and protect the rim. On the offensive end, Wells is a work in progress but has shown flashes finishing around the basket and spacing the floor from the mid-range area.
Derek Goodman Derek Goodman 6'4" | SG Olentangy Berlin | 2024 State OH , 6’3 SG Olentangy Berlin 2024: Goodman has some of the deepest range I’ve seen in the 2024 class in Ohio. A wing with the ability to create for himself, Goodman is the second leading scorer for Berlin and has a lot of creation responsibility. Goodman also impressed at multiple 270 hoops events with some of the top players in his class from central Ohio. I’ll be curious to see how Goodman develops over the summer.
Steele Meister Steele Meister 6'4" | PF Newark | 2024 State OH , 6’4 PF Newark 2024: Meister is the second leading scorer for a Newark program that historically has been very successful and produces college ready prospects. Meister is tough from the wing forward position as he looks to bully weaker defenders with his body weight when attacking the basket. Meister is also capable of spacing the floor as he’s had numerous games with multiple 3-pointers.
