Jacob White
Jacob White
Jacob is an incredibly versatile guard capable of scoring at the rim, from deep, and distributing the ball to his teammates. Although he is playing up a year you would never guess it. He is capable of taking over a game scoring back to back to back buckets. White uses his quick first step to create opportunities to finish creatively with either hand. As he is just finishing his freshman year, he has an exciting future ahead.

Chance Miller
Chance Miller
Chance displays a combination of length and athleticism that is rarely seen. His length allows him to alter plays in numerous ways on the defensive end clogging passing lanes and protecting the rim. His effort is undeniable; he dove for multiple loose balls and always ran the floor in transition. Miller’s offensive abilities shone in the fastbreak as he sped past defenders or stretched out for a finish beyond the reach of the defense.

Tyler Schumacher
Tyler Schumacher
Schumacher is a athletic do-it-all wing. He was more than capable of fulfilling traditionally “big man” roles, crashing the glass with purpose before showing his guard skills as he pushed the ball up the floor with either a pass or the dribble. He does not shy away from contact at the rim finishing in a way that he is comfortable regardless of the defense. Tyler can get downhill just about whenever in the half or full court. The threat of his inside scoring opens up the three ball which he will readily knock down.

Bri’Awn Thompson
Bri’Awn Thompson
Thompson is an elite playmaker setting his teammates up for easy bucket after easy bucket. He uses the threat of his scoring to draw help defenders before dumping it off for open layups. He confidently knocked down several threes and made difficult finishes look easy by finishing outside of his body. He is a true triple threat player who can score from deep, at the cup and set up his teammates for success.

Ceaser Santos
Ceaser Santos
Santos is a shifty guard whose solid frame allows him to play much bigger than his size. His strength and tenacity on the glass had him walking away with many boards. That same aggression transfers to his offensive game as he slices through the defense before elevating to finish. Ceaser did not shy away from contact despite some tough officiating no calls he got to the free throw line several times. In addition to his rim finishing, he demonstrated a proficient midrange shot knocking down several contested pull ups.
