<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On September 25th the Toledo Top 64 will be ran at Lourdes University.

This article below will cover one of the eight teams in the event. This article will cover the Light Grey Team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1201859' first='Aj' last='Hess'] - 2023 - 6'5 F - Mohawk</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hess is a player that could have heads turning. He is a modern-day stretch forward that can play inside and out. He has a very nice smooth shot. He is a tough kid so even though he isn't the biggest size wise he can bang down low with other bigger true bigs. Long wingspan and is someone that could fit what a lot of coaches might be looking for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1432014' first='Jerry' last='Easter II'] - 2025 - 6'5 G - Emmanuel Christian </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Easter is someone you need to say much about. He is just simply on another level than most. A big and tall point guard that has great confidence and control. Strong and very mature body. His athleticism is just simply climbing and getting better. His skill is something you can't question. He can finish with the best of them. His jump shot is getting more consistent but it is something he doesn't need to rely on. Easter is someone that I expect to put on a show.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nate Miles - 2026 - G 6'2 - Whitmer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miles is someone that has the Toledo basketball people talking. He is someone that is known as one of the top players in the class that I am looking forward to watching on the 25th. He is 6'2 and has good size for a guard and can shoot the heck out of it.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1475110' first='Jekel' last='Cotton'] - 2025 - W 6'4 - Lima Senior</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cotton is someone that has gotten a lot of praise this Sumer. He has played very well at shootouts with Lima Senior as you can read about in this article by Mike Roth along with on the NY2LA circuit for All-Ohio Select. A 6'4 wing player that I am excited to watch.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='922595' first='Romel' last='Hightower'] - 2023 - W 6'5 - Start</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hightower is a great prospect. He is 6'5 and is a very long wing that has good athleticism. He is a very good finisher and someone that can get to the rim without much resistance. He also uses his length very well on the defensive end. He is a lockdown defender that gets a lot of blocks and alters a lot of shots. His shoot needs to get a little more consistent but this kid can play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other players on this team are:</strong><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1432062' first='Brady' last='Lentz'] - 2025 - F 6'8 - Findlay</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1475105' first='Brandon' last='Moore'] - 2023 - G 6'2 - Lima Senior</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Luke Measel - 2023 - W 6'5 - Clay</strong><br><strong>More info about this event can be found <a href="https://twitter.com/ToledoTop_64/status/1552322936840896516?s=20&amp;t=qur26SW10ggoxBbV8oHbgA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
