Emoni Bates vs. Ty Rodgers Ty Rodgers 6'6" | SF Grand Blanc | 2022 #34 Nation IN
Emoni Bates (2022, G/F, Ypsilanti Lincoln)
Ty Rodgers Ty Rodgers 6'6" | SF Grand Blanc | 2022 #34 Nation IN (2022, SF, Grand Blanc)
This matchup is almost too obvious. Bates is the unquestioned number one prospect in the country. But don’t forget about Rodgers. In my opinion he’s a top 10-20 talent nationally. These 2 will be headlining Michigan high school basketball over the next few years.
JaVaughn Hannah JaVaughn Hannah 6'4" | SG Orchard Lake St. Mary's | 2022 State #221 Nation MI vs. Fletcher Loyer
JaVaughn Hannah JaVaughn Hannah 6'4" | SG Orchard Lake St. Mary's | 2022 State #221 Nation MI (2022, SG, Mt. Clemens)
Hannah is a scoring machine that is a top 100 prospect in the country. Meanwhile, Loyer recently went off for 40 plus points in a game. There would be highlights galore in this matchup.
Fletcher Loyer (2022, SG, Clarkston)
Derrick Voltz Derrick Voltz 6'4" | CG Carrollton | 2022 State MI vs. Jacob Wallace Jacob Wallace 6'4" | CG Williamston | 2022 State MI
Derrick Voltz Derrick Voltz 6'4" | CG Carrollton | 2022 State MI (2022, G, Carrollton)
Jacob Wallace Jacob Wallace 6'4" | CG Williamston | 2022 State MI (2022, G, Williamston)
This would be a contest between two young players that could easily argue that they are under ranked. Voltz is an elite athlete (also a top football prospect) that can score from anywhere. Wallace is a fundamentally sound player with a high basketball IQ.
Xander Middleton Xander Middleton 6'5" | SG Monroe | 2022 State MI vs. Carson Sanders Carson Sanders 6'5" | CG Hanover Horton | 2022 State MI
Xander Middleton Xander Middleton 6'5" | SG Monroe | 2022 State MI (2022, SG, Monroe)
Carson Sanders Carson Sanders 6'5" | CG Hanover Horton | 2022 State MI (2022, G, Hanover Horton)
Middleton and Sanders have the potential to have big futures in the game. They could both be key to their programs success in the next couple years. It’d be great to see them square off.
Tony Williams Tony Williams 5'6" | PG Parchment | 2022 State MI vs. Mason Woods Mason Woods 5'8" | PG East Lansing | 2022 State MI
Tony Williams Tony Williams 5'6" | PG Parchment | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Parchment)
Mason Woods Mason Woods 5'8" | PG East Lansing | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, East Lansing)
Williams and Woods are young point guards that have flashed tons of potential. I’d love to see them battle head to head. Woods is skilled with the ball while Williams is putting points on the board early in the season.
