Hassan will be playing for the Eastside Gators 17u team. He’s a very strong young man that gets physical under the rim. Hassan can power his way to position under the rim. He has some ball skills and touch to go with that power as well.
Haverkamp has the feel of a player on the rise and a young man that could make a lot of noise this summer. I like how he rebounds high and keeps it there on the put back, not giving the D a chance to swipe it away. Haverkamp could have a huge weekend at Rumble In The Rapids.
Viehman is playing for Midwest Stampede 2026 at Rumble In The Rapids and looks to showcase an impressive skillset. He’s a versatile player that can battle inside as well as pull defenders away from the rim and spread the floor.
Highlights
Aidan Daniels
Aidan Daniels
Daniels can be found with the Eastside Gators 16u squad. He’s a strong athlete with quick feet and a quick first step. Daniels has a nice powerful speed burst that could pose a challenge to defenders.
Myers is definitely a player to keep an eye on for the Eastside Gators 17u. He’s a shifty guard that can play around, under and through his defender. Myers protects the ball when he handles it and can play at any pace.
Francis can be found with the Midwest Stampede 2026. He’s always carried a reputation as a sniper with his jump shot, but his all around game is developing very nicely. Francis is improving as a ball handler and passer.
Highlights
Rodenbaugh is playing for REAL 16u at Rumble In The Rapids this weekend. I really like what he brings to the table defensively. Rodenbaugh stays active on D, plays the passing lanes and angles, and creates turnovers from there.
Demarion Johnson
Demarion Johnson
Johnson is a player to keep an eye on at Rumble In The Rapids. He’ll be with the Eastside Gators 16u team, but can and will play up with 17u as well. He’s a terrific all around athlete with ease of movement and quick change of direction.
Bartley will be with the Midwest Stampede 2026. He’s a strong and powerful player with great feet under the rim. He has a really nice 2 dribble drive and uses a jump stop and his pivot foot well.
Highlights
Devin Lamay
Devin Lamay
Lamay will be playing with REAL 17u and is definitely a player to watch out for. He has quick hands and an eye for the ball on the defensive end. Lamay can push the pace off the bounce and beat the defense to the other end.
Jsiah Cureton Jsiah Cureton CG L'Anse Creuse | 2024 State MI

Cureton is a player that could break out at Rumble In The Rapids this weekend. He’ll be running with the Eastside Gators 17u. Cureton is a smart and accurate shooter that looks for his shots and hits them at a high percentage.
Easton Day
Easton Day
Day deserves an eye on his game this weekend in Grand Rapids. He’s an impressive 2 way player. Day has a really solid jumper that he can put up overtop of the closeout. He does a great job focusing on the rim and staying balanced.
