ROSTER
“Lefty guard who can create his own shot and facilitate for others. He has college range on his three pointer, extremely coachable, and a great leader.”
Jerry Peterson
Jerry Peterson
“Lefty guard who is a mismatch for any guard. He is physically strong with freak athleticism and sprinter speed and can knock down shots.”
“Righty guard/forward who is the ultimate glue player for any team with a high basketball IQ. He does everything you ask of him and does so much for a team that is not seen in the stat sheet, but can score when needed.”
Highlights
“Lefty combo guard who can attack with both hands and knock down threes. Sam is very lengthy on defense and willing to get after boards.”
Highlights
Gardayee Walker
Gardayee Walker
“Righty forward who can shoot the three, guard 1-5, and committees to attacking every rebound. He has a high motor and listens to whatever you tell him.”
“Righty guard who can shoot the three and get in the lane when needed. He is a mismatch for smaller guards because he can shoot right over them and proves to be disruptive on the defensive end with his length on guards.”
Kaleb Koopman
Kaleb Koopman
“Righty guard who has a pure jumper and knocks down shots. For his size, he attacks the glass very hard and is a physical guard who doesn’t get moved around easily.”
Adrian Gamnje
Adrian Gamnje
“Righty combo guard who is a coaches favorite player because he does whatever is asked of him. He plays the game the right way making the extra pass, doing the dirty work on offense and defense, and can score when needed.”
Peter Ugbor
Peter Ugbor
“Righty guard who is physical at the point of attack and goes after every rebound. He is willing to take on any matchup and can knock down open shots.”
Isaac Iacoban
Isaac Iacoban
“Righty guard who has quick twitch muscles and changes speeds well. He handles the ball and can attack the rim aggressively.”
TEAM GOALS
“My goal this season is to get the most exposure possible for my players. I’d love for every player on the team to walk away from this summer with at least one opportunity to further their academic and athletic careers at the next level. I want to put my players in situations to showcase their talents and excel at what they are best at while growing in the areas that they are lacking.”
