Gaining confidence as a 3-point shooter, Norris had some scoring explosions from the outside and has already eclipsed 1,000 points for his high school career. It'll be interesting to see how Norris makes an impact at the 3SSB level this summer after taking the 16 U grassroots season off to focus on internal development. Both his older brothers ended up at Division I programs out of high school and both have won games in the NCAA tournament. Norris comes from a family of winners and is expected to be the next Hilliard Bradley product to sign with a Division I program.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1477054"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"One of the top Ohio prospects on the prep hoops circuit, Levis is a pure hooper in every sense of the word. Leading his team to the state championship game and falling short, expectations will be higher next season as Lutheran West returns a majority of their core pieces. Playing for [program_tooltip program_id='2078639' first='Mac' last='Basketball'] in the spring, Levis does an excellent job of creating for himself and others while running the show from the point guard position. In my opinion, Levis will end up being a priority recruit for Division II programs and it shouldn't take long for the offers to start rolling in, Walsh was the first program to offer this highly talented guard and certainly won't be the last.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1068245"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Enis had an excellent Junior season where he helped lead Miami East to one of their best seasons in school history. A big-time scorer for himself, Enis can create shots in isolation situations and knock down tough jumpers off the bounce. Best at playing off the ball and catching and shooting or attacking a closeout, Enis is a central piece to Team Wildcat HGSL's roster. After a big opening weekend at Midwest Mayhem, he'll look to follow that up at Midwest Mania this weekend. I expect Enis to be another prospect highly sought after by Division II programs and it isn't completely out of the question that Enis or Levis will have low major programs keeping tabs on them throughout the spring and summer.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1421141"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The first of two [program_tooltip program_id='2075761' first='Ohio' last='Buckets'] guards making this article, both earn stock riser status due to their play with their high school teams. Laukhuf led Wayne Trace to a district title and came so close to making it down to Dayton. A guard with size, good pace and an elite shooter off the bounce, it's likely regional scholarship programs won't be waiting very long to offer him. Laukhuf's signature regular season performance came at the OG Winter Classic where he dominated against Tiffin Columbian, he then followed that up with a deep playoff run. His first spring weekend with the [program_tooltip program_id='2075761' first='Ohio' last='Buckets'] was filled with efficient scoring performances, showing he can do it against stiffer grassroots competition.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1721070"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"One of the top scorers in Ohio, Dawson averaged 25 PPG as a Junior and earned all-Ohio second team honors after an amazing Junior season. Not going to blow you away with athleticism, Dawson relies on his body, size and pace to get by defenders and he doesn't need much space to fire from deep and connect. Dawson's top performance during the high school season might've came against rival Huron where he scored 34 points to lead his team to an SBC division championship. Look for scholarship programs to be all over this [program_tooltip program_id='2075761' first='Ohio' last='Buckets'] squad this spring and summer.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64397a8b91899"} /-->
