#6: Corey Yerger/6’1/PG/Grant:

The 6’1 guard, Yerger is an elite scorer. He can get to the bucket at ease because he has very strong craftiness. Even though he is undersized when driving to the bucket, he uses his body very well to shield the ball from his defenders. He is super strong finishing with his right, and if his left got improved a little, he would be sensational near the hoop. In addition, his handles are next level. Corey can put his defenders in a spin cycle or cross them up pretty easily. Also, a fantastic passer, and throws beautiful dimes. Whether it’s a no-look, behind the back, it will end up right on the money. Also, in his arsenal, he has a mid-range shot that he can hit at most times. He’ll step back and drain it right over his defender. He currently holds a couple of offers, but I’d expect more to come for sure.

#7: Donjae Lindsey/6’2/CG/Western Ranch:

This kid is going to bring the intensity on both sides of the ball. He will scrap on defense, and also produce on offense as well. First, on the offensive side of things, he is a very explosive player. Lindsey has a quick first step and can blow by his defenders without too much sweat. He loves to run in the transition game and can fly up and score a bucket. In addition, he can create a play for himself off the dribble. Donjae can dribble himself out of a pickle and ultimately find a teammate or take it himself. Now onto the defensive side, he can pick up his opponent’s full-court and cause havoc for them. He loves to pickpockets and does it successfully. High ceiling for him. 

#8: Jacob Ebert/5’10/PG/Cornerstone Christian:

Undersized, but still very productive. This is Jacob Ebert. He has a strong mid-range game and can rise above his defender’s quicky, with his release. He is a very good floor general, who can conduct the offense well. Also, Ebert’s ball-handling skilled, are wicked. The point guard is ready to cross up anyone who comes into his sight. In addition, hitting the three-point shot is there for him as well. He can give you a lot of productive assets on the offensive end. On the other side of things, Jacob is a fine defender. Ebert can play with more intensity, and grit because he is undersized. If that improves, he is an all-around player, for sure.

#9: Jaden Alexander/6’4/SF/St.Pats-St.Vin:

This kid had a tremendous past season for his high school team. He posted 19.6 points per game, 1.5 assists, and 7.9 rebounds. It goes to show that he is an all-around type of player. If a 6’4 guard as in Alexander, can grab 7.9 rebounds a game, he has a lot of tenacity. He doesn’t give up on plays and won’t stop until he gets what he wants. On offense, he has a nice mid-range game. In addition, he drives to the hoop quite often and can finish through heavy contact. Jaden is a hustler and will put everything on the line to win. He’s a great team player, and expect big things for him. 

#10: Emmanuel Callas/6’5/SF/Campolindo:

Callas, the forward brings several assets to his game. He can really create something off the bounce. Whether, it’s driving to the rack, or hitting an outside shot, he can do that. Emmanuel can finish through contact, or even in a stylish form. He is a versatile player on offense, to say the least. Also, stepping out and hitting the three-point shot is in his arsenal. A good catch and shoot player, with a quick release. Callas also brings tenacity on the defensive end, but one thing he could work on is his feet. Becoming a bit quicker on that end will greatly benefit him. He has D1 talent when everything is on the same page.
