Continue ReadingAnother excellent weekend of basketball on the Prep Hoops Circuit is in the books. The Havoc in the Heartland featured some excellent teams from around the Midwest and beyond with plenty of individual talent as well. As we begin to recap all of the action from the weekend let’s start by taking a look at some of the standout prospects from each age division. Here are your 17u All-Tournament Teams from the Havoc in the Heartland.
First Team
An athletic and long wing for the Great Lakes Warriorz 2024 squad, Eziuka put up some big numbers throughout the weekend. At 6’4″ he has the size on the perimeter to cause real matchup problems. Then, when you mix in his skill level, he is very hard to guard off of the bounce. Eziuka had three different 20+ point performances at the Havoc in the Heartland.
Highlights
Hans got the weekend started off with a breakout 36-point performance, followed it up with a pair of 21-point games, and finished by averaging an impressive 23 points per game. The 6’5″ sharp-shooter can really get hot from beyond the arc and he certainly did that for Closed Gyms 2024 in a loaded Pool A at the Havoc in the Heartland.
One of the top scorers at the Havoc in the Heartland, Lomax poured in 20.8 points per game while playing in a super talented Pool A for EG10 2024. The athletic 6’3″ guard capped the weekend off with a game-winner against a very good Kentucky Future Elite 2024 team. Lomax continues to put up big numbers this spring.
Highlights
In terms of pure college potential, McSweeney was one of the most intriguing prospects playing at the 17u level this weekend. However, most impressively, he is actually just a Class of 2025 prospect! McSweeney is a 6’8″ post player that displayed excellent patience on the block, a soft touch over his left shoulder, and good mobility on both ends of the floor. Helped lead SW15H Elite 2024 to a dominant 4-0 weekend.
It was another strong weekend on the Prep Hoops Circuit for this Kentucky Future Elite 2024 prospect. Whitaker averaged 18.8 points per game while leading his team to a 3-1 record which was the best in a loaded Pool A. His weekend included a 29-point outburst with nine three-pointers in a win over the Great Lakes Warriorz. This guy can REALLY shoot it!
Highlights
Second Team
Bartchak is a 6’0″ guard that was a standout among a very balanced Next Level Basketball 2024 that went 4-0 at the Havoc in the Heartland. He can get hot in a hurry from beyond the arc and did that consistently over the weekend while dominating a talented Pool B.
One of the top Class of 2025 prospects in North Carolina, Ericksen played up at the 17u level with SW15H Elite 2024. This 6’8″ post player was excellent around the basket finishing at a high level, rebounding everything in his area, and impacting the game defensively as well. He was a big part of their perfect 4-0 weekend.
Highlights
Godby is a versatile guard that scored it at a high level all weekend, rebounds his position very well, and can make plays for his teammates as well. The long, lean 6’3″ guard was a big part of Kentucky Future Elite 2024’s 3-1 weekend in Pool A. He averaged 15.5 points per game including a 26-point performance in a win on Sunday morning.
Highlights
R4L Elite 2024 went 3-1 on the weekend and this excellent athlete with elite physical tools played a big role in their success. Holden had a couple of 20+ point performances including finishing the weekend with a 28-point game in a 67-64 win over Ronnie Fields Elite Plus 2024. He is so hard to guard when he gets downhill to the rim.

Stein is a versatile wing with good size and consistently scored it for the Great Lakes Warriorz 2024 squad that had a strong showing in a very talented Pool A. He started the weekend off with a 19-point performance and continued his scoring over the rest of their games. Really intriguing skill set.
