Jarmell Johson- George Washington
Jarmell Johnson Jarmell Johnson 6'3" | SG George Washington | 2021 State CO is someone who has caught many eyes due to his crazy athleticism. Jarmell is someone who may have the most highlights dunks of anyone in the class. He runs the break very well, also often starts fast-breaks with his quick footwork on the defensive end. Jarmell can flash to the rim for layups or dunks and can also hit set shots from outside the arc. He is one of the best perimeter defenders in the state, who limits other teams top players, definitely what helps him be such a great prospect.
Tyce Baldwin Tyce Baldwin 6'4" | CG Fossil Ridge | 2021 State CO – Fossil Ridge
Tyce Baldwin Tyce Baldwin 6'4" | CG Fossil Ridge | 2021 State CO is someone who does not get as much as recognition as deserved, due to him living up North in Fort Collins. He is someone who is a good scorer at the wing position with the ability to score from all three levels. Tyce has a good set shot from the outside but strives near the rim, he has a great set of various moves at the rim, especially his euro step. Also he can hit floater and mid range shots with ease. Tyce plays very mature and in control, he has very good shot selection. He also polishes his skills off with a college ready body, Tyce has a good build standing at 6’5 and good athleticism to pair with it.
AJ Kula AJ Kula 6'5" | CG Valor Christian | 2021 State CO – Valor Christian
AJ Kula AJ Kula 6'5" | CG Valor Christian | 2021 State CO is a true combo guard who can play on and off of the ball. He was often the primary ball handler for the very good Valor team. AJ uses his height at 6’4 to look over smaller defenders and find open teammates. He also has good athleticism using his speed to zoom past defenders and finish at the rim. AJ is a good shooter who may not shoot very often but has a good stroke from outside. He is a player who has a lot of talent and I feel does not know how good he is yet, if he gets a confidence boost over the summer not very many people can get in his way.
Jordan Whitaker Jordan Whitaker 6'2" | SF Smoky Hill | 2021 State CO – Smoky Hill
Jordan Whitaker Jordan Whitaker 6'2" | SF Smoky Hill | 2021 State CO is one of the best natural scorers in the state. He can score on all three levels using a soft touch and shooting stroke to score on opposing teams. One of the best parts of Jordan’s game is his defense, he has a chip on his shoulder on the defensive end, going at whoever he is defending. Jordan uses good footwork to stay with defenders. This upcoming year will be Jordan’s time to prove himself, with spots opening up at Smoky it will be his time to shine.
Michael Wolf Michael Wolf 6'0" | PG Regis Jesuit | 2021 State CO – Regis
Michael Wolf Michael Wolf 6'0" | PG Regis Jesuit | 2021 State CO was a big reason for Regis’ deep run at the end of the year. Michael is someone who spreads the floor for his team, being a deadly shooter from the outside. He is one the rare players you see that can truly shoot off the dribble and set shots, he can pump one dribble pull or incorporate step-backs into getting buckets. Michael is also someone who is more then willing to play into a system, he is a team player who is a really good scorer. Watch out for Michael whenever basketball starts back up again.
