Nikola Bundalo

Bundalo

Uniontown Green | 2025
State
OH
, 6’7 PF Uniontown Green (OH) 2025 Wildcats Select 15 U: Bundalo is quickly developing an offensive game, showing his unique skills at 6’7 with a faceup game. Bundalo wasn’t able to showcase much perimeter skills during his freshman year at Green but seeing him with Wildcats Select allowed me to grasp what he’s capable of doing. Bundalo can put it on the floor and has the ability to finish with his right hand. Bundalo has a good body that will continue to fill out, and he might not be done growing. I’m excited to continue to monitor his development through the years and should be on every mid major radar right now.
Torr Sorensen Torr Sorensen 6'5" | SF Western Reserve Academy | 2025 State OH , 6’5 SF Western Reserve Academy (OH) 2025 Wildcats Select 15 U: Sorensen was a player I watched for the first time and walked away impressed. Sorensen can make an open shot and has solid size on the wing position. Sorensen also played under control when putting the ball on the floor, he doesn’t have flashy dribble moves but takes care of the basketball. Sorensen will be a player I continue to watch as he progresses.
Malachi Moreno Malachi Moreno 6'11" | C Great Crossing | 2025 State KY , 6’10 C Great Crossing (KY) 2025 Indiana Elite 15 U: Moreno is a no brainer high major prospect who dominated inside on Wildcats Select. Moreno had the most impressive play of the day when he caught a baseline out of bounds at the 3-point line, pump faked then took two dribbles before a jump-stop two-handed jam. Moreno is improving his toughness and ability to handle contact, although this is still an area of focus. Regardless, Moreno is going to have at least four stars next to his name and high major programs will be watching him closely.

OH
, 6’5 SF Centerville (OH) 2024 Wildcats Select 17 U: Powell is playing up and continues to score the ball at a high clip on the 3SSB circuit. Powell was still able to create space off the bounce and can score at the basket or from the outside. I’d like to see Powell create more easy looks for himself as outside of open catch and shoot 3’s, most of his buckets are tough created looks. For him to take that next step, getting easier buckets to improve his efficiency could be the way he breaks into top 30 national status and potentially a fifth star.
AJ McBride

McBride

Moeller | 2024

OH
, 6’6 SF Archbishop Moeller (OH) 2024 Midwest Basketball Club 16 U: McBride is running with Midwest Basketball Club for this weekend and fit right in with a big showing in a blowout victory. McBride is an excellent transition athlete and is starting to become more consistent as an outside shooter. McBride’s next step will come from being more productive in the half court, tightening up his handle and improving his play-making for others. McBride has one of the higher upsides in Ohio’s 2024 class and while currently pursued by mid major programs, I wouldn’t be stunned if some bigger names continued to watch.
Dillon Tingler
Dillon
Tingler
6'7" | SF
Huntington Prep | 2024
WV
, 6’6 SF Huntington Prep (WV) 2024 Midwest Basketball Club 16 U: Tingler is blowing up and it shouldn’t take long before high majors come calling his name. Tingler moves like a high major prospect and was a class above his opponents on Thursday night. Tingler shoots a beautiful ball that has a high arc and good rotation. Tingler was also getting easy buckets in transition, dunks and layups.
