Kingston Land Kingston Land 6'9" | PF Moeller | 2025 State #209 Nation OH , 6’6 PF Archbishop Moeller 2025 All Ohio Red 15 U: Land was a bit hidden during the winter, playing in only a few varsity contests as a freshman. Land does however have some of the highest upside in the class. Land shoots a pretty ball at 6’6 and is productive around the basket. He has the family ties as his older brother Max was freshman of the year in his conference for St Francis (PA) in 2020. Land also impressed last summer playing for Midwest Basketball Club 15 U, playing up a grade in the July live period and showing out. I’m excited to watch Land again this spring for All Ohio Red.
Damon Friery Damon Friery 6'9" | PF Saint Ignatius | 2025 State #97 Nation OH , 6’7 PF Saint Ignatius 2025 Ohio Rebels 16 U: Friery is one of a few 2025 prospects playing up a grade for the Ohio Rebels and really showing out early in the spring. Friery is another prospect who didn’t get the varsity experience to get on the radar but is due for a potential breakout in the winter. Friery can stoke it off the catch and moves very well for his size. Expect Friery to become a household name very soon around northeast Ohio.
Nikola Bundalo Nikola Bundalo 6'9" | PF Western Reserve Academy | 2025 State #22 Nation OH , 6’7 PF Uniontown Green 2025 Wildcats Select 15 U: Bundalo impressed me in small minutes for Green in the playoffs and continued to perform well for Wildcats Select. Bundalo might be the best rebounder of the group listed here with his long arms and high motor. Green graduates some key pieces, so expect Bundalo to have a lot more scoring opportunities to show what he can do with the ball in his hands.
Austin Niekamp Austin Niekamp 6'8" | PF Marion Local | 2025 State OH , 6’7 PF Marion Local 2025 Ohio Buckets – Christie: Niekamp is the definition of a stretch-4 with his sweet shooting stoke and tendency to play on the perimeter. Niekamp was another prospect who I wished to see more of during the high school season playing next to Jack Knapke Jack Knapke 6'8" | C Marion Local | 2024 State OH , but I expect the duo to be dominant together for the next two seasons. Niekamp impressed me with the Ohio Buckets with his ball-handling and passing ability. Expect Marion Local to be a force in Division IV with Niekamp and Knapke in the coming years.
Toby Nwokolo Toby Nwokolo 6'6" | PF Reynoldsburg | 2025 State OH , 6’4 PF Reynoldsburg 2025 Mid Ohio Pumas Gold 15 U: Nwokolo got the most varsity experience out of anybody on this list, playing a crucial role for Reynoldsburg as a freshman. Nwokolo has a high motor and is a very explosive athlete off two-feet. Nwokolo had his fair share of highlight plays, including some impressive dunks. Nwokolo right now projects as either a 3 or a 4 at the next level depending on how much more he grows, but if he improves his outside shooting and passing ability, he could play at the wing position more often.
