Here is a look at some players that were mentioned:
Mitchell Cronyn (2024, CG, Livonia Franklin)
Cronyn is starting to turn some heads in his direction. He’s a confident and comfortable shooter, and quite frankly, you better not leave him open in either corner. Cronyn has the potential to be a very well rounded player as well.
William Davis (2022, C, Muskegon Heights Academy)
Davis is a beats on the interior. He floats from the block to the high post waiting for a post feed. When Davis gets the ball, he has a nice spin move that he can use to go around and under his defender or create space for a mid range bucket.
Balsa Folic (2022, PF, Community Christian – TX)
Folic is a very intriguing prospect. He’s about 6-8 and strong, but can really play off the perimeter and has sound ball skills. Folic can fire off a triple off the bounce. His jumper punishes the net as it splashes through.
Bryce Garbacz (2023, SF, Plymouth)
Garbacz has had a nice season so far with his Plymouth squad. I like his game as a shooter off the wing. Grabacz recognizes good looks and doesn’t have to force the issue to get his buckets.
Terrance Hicks (2025, G, Western International)
In a loaded class of 2025 in the state of Michigan, it’ll be important to not overlook this young man. He’s a smooth athlete that has shown a playmaking edge to his game.
Isaiah Jolliffi (2023, CG, Chippewa Valley)
Jolliffi has shown game on the perimeter this year. He’s a 2 way player that seems to find a way to make a difference each game on both ends. Jolliffi is a solid ball handler that can finish with creativity.
Devin Lilly Devin Lilly 6'3" | CG Chippewa Valley | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Chippewa Valley)
Lilly has been making the most of his senior season. He’s shown that he can be counted on as a scorer, both on and off the ball. Lilly is a high basketball IQ leader for his team.
Rickey Mosley (2022, SG, Chippewa Valley)
Mosley is a vastly improved player. He’s been working hard off the ball in order to get his looks at the rim. Mosley is a solid all around athlete and could continue to make noise.
Israel Patterson (2022, SF, Comstock)
Patterson has some explosivity this season. He’s put up some really nice scoring numbers this year. Most impressively though, is the way that Patterson finds his teammates once his driven in the paint and forced defenders to help.
James Phillips (2024, CG, Grosse Pointe North)
Phillips is having what you would probably call a breakout season. He’s handled the ball well and proven that he can guide an offense effectively. Phillips feels the pace of the game and makes the high percentage plays.
Ryan Schuster (2022, G, Chippewa Valley)
Schuster is a very solid all around athlete and a 2 sport star at Chippewa Valley. You football fans might recognize the name. Schuster has been getting the job done on the hardwood this winter.
Raj Singh Raj Singh 6'3" | SF Crossroads Charter Academy | 2022 State MI (2022, CG, Crossroads Academy)
Singh is definitely a prospect to take a look at. He’s aggressive off the bounce and has a nice first step going to his right. Singh is a powerful finisher that can fill it up in traffic. He also has 3 point range off the bounce.
Nathan Washburn (2024, PF, Dakota)
Washburn has showed a ton of potential in the paint. He works for position on the block and earns good looks at the rim. Washburn keeps rebounds, post feeds, and put backs high, rarely giving a smaller player a shot at a steal.
Jacob Zartman (2022, G/F, Otsego)
Zartman has started to turn some heads this season. He has shown that he can score, and even do it in bunches when his team needs it. Zartman has nice potential and is a name to follow the rest of the year.
