Stevie Elam Stevie Elam 6'2" | CG Adrian | 2025 State MI (2025, PG, Adrian)
Elam is a very exciting prospect. He has a nice burst of speed and good body control when finishing at the bucket. Elam’s strength in his lower body allows him to shrug off contact.
Anthony Evans (2023, CG, Concord)
Evans is a high energy guard that gets it done on both ends of the floor. He does a nice job getting steals by reading the passer and jumping the passing lanes. Evans has a quick release on his jumper that frustrates defenders.
Trent Jester (2023, PF, Napoleon)
Jester is an excellent help defender in the paint, moving very well laterally. He stays very vertical and defense and slides over and up with ease, challenging and blocking a ton of shots. Jester is pretty versatile offensively as well, with the ability to score off the bounce and in the paint as a big.
Josh Pugh (2023, G/F, Marshall)
Pugh is definitely a player to watch in the 2022-2023 season. He gets the job done on D, defending the ball with intensity and effectiveness. Pugh could see a lot more scoring opportunities this season, which serves him well since he shoots and scores at a high percentage.
Jaden Turner Jaden Turner 6'5" | PF Farmington | 2024 State MI (2023, PF/C, Farmington)
Turner is a tough post player with a lot of upside. I’ve always been high on his potential and believe that he could jump start his senior season at this event.
Terrell White Terrell White SG Jackson | 2023 State MI (2023, CG, Jackson)
White has had a really nice spring with Truth Sports 2023, even earning a Top Performer designation at an event on the Prep Hoops Circuit. He has a scorer’s acumen and the ability to get buckets. White seems primed for a huge senior season.
