2022’s That We Want To See At The Top 250 – Part 1
2023’s That We Want To See At The Top 250 – Part 1
Jordan Briggs Jordan Briggs 6'0" | PG Muskegon | 2023 State MI (2023, PG, Muskegon)
Briggs has shown a ton of promise as a prospect this summer. He attacks off the dribble using both hands. Briggs penetrates the lane, draws the defense, and can finish or dish. He’s a must see young player.
Nate Brown Nate Brown 6'3" | CG Davison | 2021 State MI (2021, CG, Grand Blanc)
Brown really separated himself this summer and showed that his game has another level. Brown can score from multiple levels and makes a really nice secondary ball handler. Brown should be on coaches wishlist at the Top 250.
Tyler Degroote Tyler Degroote 6'7" | SG Schoolcraft | 2022 State MI (2022, SF, Schoolcraft)
DeGroote flashed some elite skills on the wing this summer, scoring on mulptiple levels. I’d like to see him show off his underrated athleticism at the event.
Linden Holder Linden Holder 6'0" | PG De La Salle | 2021 State MI (2021, PG, Warren De La Salle)
Holder was terrific this summer. He was a Grade A scoring point guard. Holder showed the ability to create within the offense and in isolation. He could really send a message at the Top 250.
Tyler Johnson Tyler Johnson 6'4" | SG Croswell-Lexington | 2023 MI (2021, SG, Croswell-Lexinton)
Johnson has already put Michigan high school basketball on warning. He’s been a big shot taker and big shot maker. We’d love to see Johnson continue his rise at the showcase.
Keyon Menifield Keyon Menifield 6'2" | PG Flint Beecher | 2021 State MI (2021, PG, Flint Beecher)
With the departure of Jalen Terry Jalen Terry 6'1" | PG Flint Beacher | 2020 State #86 Nation MI , it’s next man up at Flint Beecher. Well, here’s your man. He’s dynamic and explosive with the ball. Mennifield can play the entire 90 feet and play it fast. Mennifield could put the state on alert on October 4.
Charles Riley (2021, SF, L’Anse Creuse North)
Riley started grassroots season with a bang. He was so smooth and effective attacking the rim off the wing. We’d like to see him test himself against some greats at the Top 250.
Kyler Vanderjagt Kyler Vanderjagt 6'4" | 195 lbs | SF Northview | 2022 State MI (2022, SG, Northview)
Vanderjagt has used this summer to establish himself as a national recruiting target. Sky is the limit for this physically strong shot maker. He will draw a crowd at the showcase.
