At the 2020 Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo, our writers got to look at a new batch of prospects in the 2021 and 2022 classes. Andre Renta - Hudson - 2022: Renta was one of the craftier players on the court today. He threaded the needle with pinpoint passes and played with the confidence and IQ to be a standout. Carter Olsen - Cuba City - 2022: Olsen played high-energy basketball all afternoon. The guard showcased some of the best handles in the 2022 class, freezing defenders with combo moves and hesitations. He’s smaller, but drew contact in the paint and had the fineness to make circus attempts look normal. [player_tooltip player_id="1017075" first="Jalen" last="Womack"] - Menasha - 2022: Womack was one of the better athletes on the floor today. He can rise up and play above the rim on both ends, and his quickness and bouncy style helped him play aggressive defense. Offensively, he also showed his shooting ability, knocking down a handful of catch-and-shoot threes. Peter Fuchs - Wausau West - 2021: Fuchs filled the secondary scoring role for his team all day. He doesn’t shine with physical intangibles but is a patient, clever driver that finds ways to get up shots. I also like his ability to work without the ball, cutting towards the block or leaking out to the perimeter looking for open looks. [player_tooltip player_id="994423" first="Austin" last="Weis"] - Cameron - 2021: Weis is an appealing wing shooter in the senior class. He started the day hitting three threes in a matter of minutes, shooting confidently from well beyond the arc. He has a good frame at 6’4” and is one of the more skilled players at getting open off the ball. Zachary Cleveland - Normal Community - 2022: Cleveland jumped onto the scene with smooth scoring chops around the rim. He can run the floor like a forward and find gaps in the defense. Cleveland’s traditional playstyle and itch to score made him stand out, and it’ll be interesting to see if he blooms after this expo.
