Elijah Griffin Elijah Griffin 6'1" | PG Westosha Central | 2025 State #352 Nation WI — PG — Wisconsin Playground Club — 15U
Griffin was one of the biggest stock risers from this past weekend. The point guard is a high-level floor general who always makes the right pass. Playing on a PGC squad loaded with talent, Griffin is able to set teammates up for open looks. The PG is also a scrappy, hard-nosed defender. He has quick feet, which he uses to stay in front of whoever he is guarding. Moving forward this summer, I look forward to keeping an eye on Griffin.
Ryan Duncan — PG — Fundamental U — 17U
I love everything about Duncan’s game. The point guard is so much fun to watch on the offensive end. He is an outstanding ballhandler, intelligent passer, and talented scorer. Duncan does a really good job of driving into the paint and then using his court vision to find an open teammate. If I was a college coach, I would certainly take a good look at Duncan — his skillset could make him an attractive prospect
Jeremiah Fears Jeremiah Fears 6'1" | PG AZ Compass Prep | 2025 State #31 Nation AZ — PG — Hoops4Health — 17U
It is not hard to see why Fears has already earned interest from a handful of top college programs. The 2025 point guard is so talented. He is dynamic as a scorer and excellent as a passer. Fears does an awesome job of running his squad’s offense and keeping every teammate engaged. Fears is an extremely smart prospect who uses his IQ and skill to find success on the court.
Jake Fiegen Jake Fiegen 6'3" | SG New Trier | 2023 State IL — SG — Full Package — 17U
Fiegen is the type of prospect who can immediately make an impact at the next level. The Full Package prospect is an elite shooter. When the shooting guard is on the floor, opposing defenses are forced to keep a very close eye on Fiegen. If opposing coaches fail to recognize Fiegen’s shooting ability, it is likely that he will make them pay. If he develops other areas of his game, look for Fiegen to really make his mark at the college level.
Jake Hansen Jake Hansen 6'1" | SG Wauwatosa West | 2025 State #331 Nation WI — SG — Wisconsin Playground Club — 15U
I love the improvement that Hansen has made in his game. Prior to this AAU season, the shooting guard primarily served as an elite catch and shoot specialist. He was certainly able to make an impact as a pure shooter, but now, Hansen is able to score in a multitude of different ways. He makes tough midrange shots and finishes layups at the rim. The SG is a prospect who college programs should keep a close eye on this summer.
Griffin Gerdes — PG — Iowa Prep — 16U
I really love the confidence and swagger that Gerdes plays with. The Iowa Prep prospect is the type of player to make a shot and let his opponent know about it. On offense, Gerdes is a dynamic scorer. He makes deep threes and uses his handle to get downhill and convert on layups. Overall, Gerdes is a very fun player to watch who I look forward to watching more this summer.
