<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In this article, I will be highlighting some of the states under the radar returning talents that caught my eye this summer on the court. They come from all-cross the state of Nebraska, all different classes some names you may know, some you may not.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> </span><span class="s2">[player_tooltip player_id="890586" first="Lam" last="Kuany"] | </span><span class="s1">6’7 215lbs | SR |Forward | Omaha Bryan </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Lam averages about 13points and 5 boards a game. can play physically inside the paint has great size, also can step outside and knock down a 3. Not afraid to finish with either hand, great defender. Kuany has serious untapped potential. Schools in the area would be a great fit. Wayne St, Midland, Hastings just to name a few.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s2">Luke Kasten</span></strong><span class="s1"><strong> | 6’3 170lbs | JR | Guard | Potter-Dix</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Last year, Luke was the 9th leading scorer in the state, Averaged 22.3ppg shooting 55%, 62% from FT, and was 8th in the state in rebounds, he can BALL. Luke has range from outside, can run the floor, a nasty euro step and can finish. Plays amazing defense. It would be interesting to see how he would stack up against other top players from the state. </span></p>

<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s2">Antone “AJ” McNair |</span></strong><span class="s1"><strong> 6’0 150lbs | SR | Guard | Omaha Benson</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In some limited action last season, McNair made his minutes count, as well as his baskets. Averaging almost 5 points a game, he is a lefty that can knock down shots. He showed off mid-range and deep 3 capability. The Bunnies were led by a host of seniors last season, leaving an opportunity for McNair to take full advantage on the court while coming off a strong performance in AAU. NAIA schools like Morningside, Briar cliff, Midland could use an athletic guard on their roster. This may be their guy. </span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s2">[player_tooltip player_id="981703" first="Cory" last="Hollinger"] |</span><span class="s1"> 6’6 225lbs | SR | Forward/C | Cross County </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Cory is an absolute monster. A guaranteed double-double averaging 17.3ppg 9.6rpg while shooting 57%. He is a big fast lefty, has very impressive midrange game, finishes strong in the paint, and can shoot from the outside. Dirk vibes! He currently has multiple D1 football offers, but I am expecting the same after this senior season on the court. </span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s2">[player_tooltip player_id="1150640" first="Jake" last="Hilkemann"] |</span><span class="s1"> 6’4 180lbs | SO | Guard/F | Lincoln North Star</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Jake is a young guard that saw limited action as a freshman last year in 22 varsity games. He averaged 4 ppg and about 2 rebounds during his opportunities. Jake had a very impressive outing this summer with the Nebraska Supreme UAA 15U and looks to keep that momentum going into the fall. I expect big things this season from him, the kid is a baller! This guy has the potential for D1 basketball, and he is only entering his sophomore season. Schools like UNO, South Dakota St, Drake should be getting an early jump on talking to/offering before the baskets start dropping. </span></p>
