Class of 2022: The Top 5
Emoni Bates (G/F, Ypsilanti Lincoln)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #1
This seems sort of obvious doesn’t it? Bates has been compared to the likes of Kevin Durant and has received the highest praise of a high school player since LeBron James. He can basically play all 5 positions at an All-American level.
Ty Rodgers (SF, Grand Blanc)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #2
Don’t let the success of Bates diminish who and what Ty Rodgers is. He’s an elite athlete that can score at all 3 levels. Rodgers is an unselfish star who isn’t afraid to blaze his own path. I wouldn’t disagree with a top 20 ranking nationally.
JaVaughn Hannah (SG, Mt. Clemens)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #3
Hannah is a scorer at heart that just flat out gets buckets. He can score in iso situations or naturally through the flow of an offense. Hannah should be viewed as a Division 1 high major recruit.
Kareem Rozier (PG, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #4
Rozier is a gutsy and gritty player. Even in a loaded Orchard Lake St. Mary’s backcourt, I guarantee that he will find a way to not just contribute, but stand out. Rozier is glued to the gym and brings an attitude and demeanor that coaches will love.
Fletcher Loyer (G, Clarkston)
Prep Hoops Michigan Ranking: #5
Remember how dominant Foster Loyer was in high school? Fletcher may actually have a higher ceiling. He’s athletic and a lights out shooter, especially from the corner. Loyer has a dangerous mid range game highlighted by a pretty floater from the lane.
