Xavier Sulaiman Xavier Sulaiman 6'3" | SG Oak Lawn | 2023 State IL — G — Hoops4Health
Sulaiman is a prospect who has had an extremely productive spring and summer. The guard is incredibly athletic and skilled. He makes extremely difficult plays look extremely easy. Sulaiman is a walking highlight reel. When he is on the court, the guard is always looking to make some sort of big-time play. In Atlanta, there should be a number of college coaches taking a look at Sulaiman.
Dallas Bear — SF — Iowa Barnstormers
Bear has the potential to be an extremely impressive college prospect. Bear is a versatile, smart player who always makes a positive impact for his squad. The small forward can step outside and knock down threes, finish at the rim, and rebound on both ends. Bear already holds a handful of Division one scholarship offers. After this weekend, I wouldn’t be surprised if he is able to snag a couple more.
Matthew Bothun Matthew Bothun 6'9" | PF St. Francis | 2023 State MN — PF — Minnesota Fury
Playing for a great Minnesota Fury squad, Bothun has been a difference-maker. I love how the power forward is able to space the floor as a shooter. If left open, the PF can consistently drain long range shots. He has also shown an ability to put the ball on the floor and create his own shot. I really look forward to watching Bothun play this weekend.
Molley Komara — SF — Minnesota Chill
Komara was one of the biggest stock risers from this spring. The small forward has a ton of upside. As a post scorer, Komara has great foot work and touch. I love how he uses his combination of size and skill to get buckets on the block. The SF is also a very good rebounder and defender who uses his size to block shots and rebound.
Darik Dissette Darik Dissette 6'4" | SG Minot | 2023 State #300 Nation ND — SG — North Dakota Phenom
Ranked as the top prospect in North Dakota’s 2024 class, Dissette is a name for college programs to know. The shooting guard plays extremely hard on both ends. He is a difference-maker who has made a name for himself on the Prep Hoops Circuit. On offense, he uses his skill to score at all three levels. On defense, he uses his physicality and athletic ability to defend multiple positions.
Raoul Vaidya Raoul Vaidya 6'0" | PG Maple Grove | 2023 State MN — PG — Northstar Titans
I think that Vaidya is one of the most underrated floor guards in the state of Minnesota. The point guard is a talented ball handler and passer who always gets teammates involved. He does so much for his team on the offensive end as a creator. Vaidya is also a strong defender who always gives it his all.
Anthony Lieuwen — PG — Team 1848
Lieuwen is a pure scorer who not many defenders have a chance at stopping. He does an awesome job of using his speed and quickness to get downhill. He is also a lethal shooter who can make difficult jumpers. As a passer, the Team 1848 prospect is able to find open teammates. If I were a college coach looking for a point guard, I would definitely take a look at Lieuwen.
