Check out Part 1 below!
Dillard II was a lights out scorer during the high school season and he showed that scoring prowess with the Motor City Grizzlies at Midwest Mania. He had a feel for the offense and was able to find his shots and get them off. Dillard II averaged 13 points per game over the weekend.
Highlights
Hatchett was dynamic at the Storm Classic. He helped his Storm UA Rise team come home with the Platinum Championship. He was slippery and silky smooth on offense and went off for 26 in the title game. It was fitting that Hatchett earned an offer from Ferris State after it was all said and done.
Dugener was very good with Hardwood Midwest 15u at the Storm Classic. He was like a 2-headed monster over the course of the event. On one end, he lit the scoreboard up to a tune of about 20 points per game. On the other end, he also dished the ball out and found his teammates in scoring positions, racking up a handful of assists every game.
Champagne showed that he is truly a high level shooter and a big time threat from behind the arc. He had multiple 20 point games, fueled by that high level jumper. Champagne moved without the ball and consistently found looks at the rim. He led his NO Wolfpack 16u squad to a Storm Classic Gold Championship.
Whitaker did a really good job at the Storm Classic showing the Wayne State was really smart with that offer late last week. He led his Storm UA Rise 17u team to the Platinum Championship and was named the Storm Classic Most Outstanding Player in the bracket. In his typical fashion, he was a lights out shooter and scorer. Whitaker also made big defensive play after big defensive play over the course of the weekend.
Gabe Rychener
Gabe Rychener
Rychener went a long way toward cementing his name on the prospect map. He was very explosive on the offensive end at the Legacy Center. Rychener drove the lane and scored from mid range. He was able to get buckets at all 3 levels and showed some creatibity and flash with the ball in his hands.
