Trenton Collins Trenton Collins 6'4" | SF Utica | 2023 State OH , 6’4 SF Utica 2023 Mid Ohio Pumas Sliemers: Collins had a big weekend scoring the basketball, using his strength advantage on the defense to bully defenders when he drove to the basket. Collins also had an impressive alley-oop slam dunk on Saturday and continued his impressive play to today. Collins is a small school sleeper from Licking County who will likely get a lot of small college interest.
Jordan Edwards Jordan Edwards 6'3" | PG Olentangy Orange | 2023 State OH , 6’2 SG Olentangy Orange 2023 Mid Ohio Pumas Price: In the best ending of the day, Mid Ohio Pumas Price went on a huge second half surge to win in overtime over Indiana Elite Swish. The two-way play of Jordan Edwards Jordan Edwards 6'3" | PG Olentangy Orange | 2023 State OH was on full display as Edwards is a talented athlete who got to the paint often with his dribble drive game and made smart reads to shooters. Edwards could break out this winter for Olentangy Orange next to Mikey McCollum Mikey McCollum 6'3" | PG Olentangy Orange | 2023 State OH in the back-court.
Braydn Szczepaniak Braydn Szczepaniak 6'4" | SF Saint Ignatius | 2023 State OH , 6’3 SF Saint Ignatius 2023 OBC: Szczepaniak was another standout two-way player as he had three pick-pocket steals and scored the ball efficiently in a win over INB Elite. Szczepaniak made a couple tough 3-pointers and makes smart plays when driving to the basket. Szczepaniak can finish with both hands around the basket and has played a role for Saint Ignatius for two years already. A very experienced player, I expect small colleges to love Szczepaniak as he also has a very high GPA.
Sean Mckitrick Sean Mckitrick 6'2" | SG Archbishop Carroll | 2023 State OH , 6’1 SG Dayton Carroll 2023 Dayton Elite: McKitrick is becoming one of the top shooters in SW Ohio with his play this spring on Dayton Elite. After a game with five 3-pointers in one half on Saturday, McKitrick followed that up with some more 3’s today. A limited athlete, I expect McKitrick to be a specialist at the next level, providing floor spacing at a small college with his elite shooting ability.
Tyler Galluch Tyler Galluch 6'4" | PF Catholic Central | 2023 State OH , 6’3 PF Springfield Catholic Central 2023 Dayton Elite: Galluch was a top performer last weekend and continues to impress with Dayton Elite. Galluch can finish with both hands around the basket and is a unique match-up as he does most of his damage in the paint despite just being 6’3, 6’4. Galluch already is over 1,000 points for his high school career and will likely get lots of small college interest during the summer months.
