Marcel Hererra (Colorado Swoosh 2025-1)
Hererra played what I love to see, the passing lane, and his handling the ball after the steal and seeing the floor was nice, yet he also rebounded and saw the floor in transition. He created his shot and dropped it from outside and also attacked the basket strongly and finished after contact
Kam Burris Kam Burris 6'4" | PG Cascia Hall | 2025 State OK (Wolfpack 2025)
Burris is long and athletic and does a good job attacking the basket from a variety of angles. He finishes after contact, nice body control plays a part but he also showed he could not only create his shot under pressure but knock it down from mid to very long range while being defended
Kody Jackson Kody Jackson 6'0" | PG Tulsa Memorial | 2025 OK (Wolfpack 2025)
Jackson rebounded strongly on both ends, yet his “on-the-ball defense” was just as strong as he applied head “baseline to baseline” and helped force turnovers. He also has a nice first step to attack the basket and also dropped the jumper from outside
Corey Daniels (Wichita Padres Ashton)
Daniels handled the ball under pressure both in the set as well as in transition and his court vision was solid in both settings. He also attacked the basket to score, well or dish as well. His defense was solid, he even hit the boards
Briggs Cunningham-5’10 G (LTD Select Light Blue 2025) Gardner Edgeton [2026]
Cunningham shot the ball well on opening day and he showed he could knock it down in the clutch, mid to long-range. He created his shot nicely and his deceptive first step gave him options to attack or just elevate and drop. He also saw the floor well
Ryland Parker-5’10 G (Kansas Magic 2025) Buhler [2025]
Parker is heady and understands how to get his “in the flow” yet he also dove after loose balls “on the FLOOOO”, well he went after the ball period, with nice court sense and showed he could take the defender off the dribble or take the jumper from outside
Kaiser Kanitz Kaiser Kanitz 6'0" | CG Moundridge | 2026 State KS -6’0 G (PBUHoops 2025) McPherson [2026]
Kanitz was another player that did a good job creating his shot and he mixed it up nicely by either attacking the basket with either hand and finishing with either hand. He also knocked it down from outside, mid to long-range
Zack Dixon-6’4 C (PBUHoops 2025) Moundridge [2025]
Dixon was among the numerous “bigs” that rebounded on both ends, as well as ran the floor on both ends but he grabbed the ball off of the rim with authority, and his college-ready frame, along with nice hands and footwork, gives him opportunities around the basket
Aiden Sanders-5’11 G (Mavericks Elite 2025) Webster Groves [2025]
Sanders was another player that did something I absolutely love seeing and that’s “thread the needle” on his passes. They’re crisp and “on the money” and did it while attacking the basket or in transition. He handled the ball well plus his body control while attacking and finishing was also nice
