PG Shyheim Gilkerson | Uncommon Bulls
Shyheim Gilkerson captured a state title this March, and hasn’t slowed down since. A lockdown on-ball defender, Gilkerson clearly takes pride in shutting down his opponents. He’s a competitor. Gilkerson is adept at getting into the lane and converting in traffic. He can handle pressure and has an extra gear in the open court.

SG Jahdon Robinson | River City Reign
Jahdon Robinson is a gifted athlete who is starting to put it all together. We’ve seen flashes of what he can do in the fall and early on this spring. At 6’5”, he’s very long and decently built. Robinson has a high work rate, especially on the boards. He rebounds well in traffic and does a good job boxing out his man. Robinson is a good paint getter who seeks contact when converting in the lane. He has a soft touch around the basket. Robinson actively contests shots, and generally plays above the rim.
