<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Below are some of the top performers in the Class of 2024 that competed in the Top 250 Expo in Appleton, WI. If you don't know who these Juniors are already, they are prospects to keep on the radar come high-school season.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"left"} --> <p class="has-text-align-left"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1203253' first='Brady' last='Corso'] | Guard | Neenah</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1602656,"width":194,"height":155,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/198-Brady-Corso.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/198-Brady-Corso-1024x819.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1602656" width="194" height="155"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Corso plays with an impressive craftiness about him at the guard position. He is elusive and capable of creating space and angles on his drives. The Neenah guard was at his best when creating his shot in the mid-range. Corso also impressed me using the high pick and roll. He continuously broke down the hedge man or pulled up with great rhythm off the dribble. He seems to get better each time I watch him compete. He has a very high IQ and feel for the game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1159275' first='Logan' last='Rindfleisch'] | Forward | Wisconsin Lutheran</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rindfleisch is a highly aware wing that makes the game look easy. His length and strength allow him to guard in the paint as well as the perimeter. Standing at 6'4, he is a coast-to-coast threat given his ability to push the pace and see the floor. In the half-court, he showed good balance on his jump shot. His movement off the ball made it easier for himself and his teammates all expo. Most impressive was his ability to drive and create for others after drawing more than one defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1289066' first='Dejuan' last='Graise'] | Guard | Tremper&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1602634,"width":192,"height":165,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/145-Dejuan-Graise.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/145-Dejuan-Graise-1024x880.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1602634" width="192" height="165"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Graise is a fleet-footed guard that can space the floor on a consistent basis. He proved to be a sniper from three-point range. His court vision is phenomenal. He finds the open man in the half-court as well as in transition. Graise was able to shift defenders quite a bit and create scoring plays for his team. What stood out the most was his high IQ and sneaky athleticism.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1141075' first='Jonathan' last='O'neill'] | Forward | Kaukauna&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>O'Neill has a unique combination of size and motor. His athleticism and stride allow him to be a rim runner and a chase-down block threat. The forward from Kaukauna has tremendous upside, his explosiveness extends plays and gets him putback dunks. What stood out the most to me was his lateral quickness while standing at 6'9.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1260947' first='Sam' last='Mickelson'] | Forward | Madison Memorial&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1602708,"width":178,"height":201,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/274-Sam-Mickelson.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/09/274-Sam-Mickelson-907x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1602708" width="178" height="201"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mickelson has great length at the wing position, standing at 6'7. He did a great job moving without the ball and rising up over the defenders in the mid-range. He has really terrific footwork and a soft touch that gives a lot of his shots to roll and bounce in.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598962' first='Ethan' last='Hoelzel'] | Forward | Neenah</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoelzel was the biggest paint presence who showed up to compete over the weekend. He was able to block and adjust opponents' shots at a high rate. He showed glimpses of next-level mobility while filling lanes in transition. His stock will surely rise as he matures into his large frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
