Nate Sommerfield Dublin Coffman
Sommerfield stood out for Coffman in their opener against Beavercreek Saturday. The senior guard was making shots consistently in the midrange off dribble drive action. The slashing opened the door for kick outs to several sharp shooting teammates. Sommerfield overall has a very patient feel to his game and does not become sped up by defensive pressure. Sommerfield has a lot of offensive upside and could be a target for D3s in the state.
Lance Grayson Lance Grayson 6'2" | SG Wyoming | 2023 State OH Wyoming
Grayson helped keep the Cowboys in a battle with C-J before their lack of depth showed late. Grayson specifically impressed with some major made 3’s down the stretch for Wyoming. His footwork and release are great and excelled in catch-and-shoot situations. Grayson will have to be the leader for this group as they have multiple underclassmen competing for minutes.
Brady Carter London
Carter has a lot of athletic upside even though he is slightly raw in some areas of his game. At 6-foot-2, Carter brings some more physical framework for London and brought the small school toughness against Dunbar. Carter has an unorthodox shot and at times kept the ball a little too long, but he can create with his athleticism and turned some plays that others would struggle with into winning plays. He has an opportunity to compliment Zach Jones (2024) as London tries to challenge in the CBC.
Richard Menke London
Menke might have been the most intriguing new name to me as he brings a solid framework to the table and could turn into a true collegiate level prospect with further development. Menke brings a 6-foot-6 body to the table and is a low post force for the Raiders. Long arms and contests shots in the paint and around the rim. Menke lacks much muscle on his body and will need to bulk up in order to see his recruitment really skyrocket. However, he has a lot of room for development and could see strides if he can fill out.
