ROSTER
Jackson Reynolds Jackson Reynolds 6'2" | SG Dearborn Divine Child | 2023 State MI
“He is a savvy and crafty playmaker who can score from all 3 levels. High motor and a great teammate. He has an incredibly hard work ethic that matches his incredible scoring ability. A real steal for any college. My nickname for him is “Baby Booker” because of his similar play style to Devin Booker.” – Coach Chris Mattei
Dante Favor
“Dante is our best defender hands down. He defends at a D1 level and is a nightmare for his matchup every game. With him being 6’7″ and having over a 7’ wingspan it also allows him to shoot over defenders and attack the rim with ferocious dunks. Kid is a workhorse.” – Coach Chris Mattei
Julian Robinson
“Ju is our spark plug and our team’s source of energy. He is willing to guard 94 feet without me having to ask. He does the dirty work, is a great finisher around the rim, good shooter, and one of the best perimeter defenders I’ve seen in a long time.” – Coach Chris Mattei
Bryce Garbacz
“Bryce is a 40+% 3 point shooter and also has one of the highest basketball IQ’s on our team. Always team first with a great work ethic and a great teammate. Always looking to set other guys up while still shooting at a great clip.” – Coach Chris Mattei
Jake Fannon Jake Fannon 6'3" | SF South Lyon East | 2023 State MI
“A sharp shooter who can get to the rim with ease. Jake is a really strong kid that uses his technique and strength to bully his opponent on offense and defense. Being a lefty, he is naturally crafty.” – Coach Chris Mattei
Omar Suleiman Omar Suleiman 6'5" | SF Canton | 2023 State MI
“Omar is our Swiss Army Knife. Being 6’7″ he can truly play positions 1-5 which makes him extremely valuable and versatile. He can defend, rebound, pass, make open and contested shots, dunk on you, leep score, and serve popcorn at halftime. Omar is a steal for any college.” – Coach Chris Mattei
Tamir Runinkevich Tamir Runinkevich 6'2" | SG Berkley | 2023 State MI
“Tamir is a lights out shooter as soon as he gets out of his car in the parking lot. He also has an extremely high motor. He is very crafty off the ball to get open for his shots, and also has the confidence to knock in tough contested shots as well.” – Coach Chris Mattei
Issy Alatraqchi
“Issy is a quick left handed guard that is a capable driver to the basket and also a pesky defender” – Coach Chris Mattei
Jayden Savoury Jayden Savoury 6'6" | SF Orchard Lake St. Mary's | 2025 State MI
“Jayden is very developed as a player. He is playing up from the 2025 class to play with our 2023 team. He is what the kids would call “a walking bucket”. Being a 6’6″-6’7″ wing, he can score at all 3 levels while being a nightmare for his opponent while he’s on defense. Very active hands that proved wonders for him in his high school season with multiple games with 4 or more steals.” – Coach Chris Mattei
