Reed was notably productive versus taller matchups, more than capable of utilizing his raw strength to overpower opponents on the glass. At roughly 6’6, the forward was a constant threat on the boards, through his combination of hustle and timing. Regardless of the frontcourt matchup, the incoming senior was outmuscling opponents, digging into their hips to leverage for position. Despite always lurking for rebounding position, Reed was active in transition, an often source of made layups following outlets. His continued growth in shot volume will be intriguing, given his high release point on the jump shot.
Brandon Domsch Brandon Domsch 6'7" | SF Legacy | 2024 State CO – Legacy – 2024
Domsch has clearly impressed at this camp, attacking downhill with urgency and finding ways to be a versatile scoring threat. At roughly 6’5, Domsch has been improving his driving ability, keeping the ball in control on straight line drives. The forward is fairly bouncy, more than capable of getting up and throwing down dunks. Although an effective driver, Domsch showed upside stretching out the floor, hitting quite a few three point shot attempts off the catch. On the defensive side, his athleticism is on full display blocking shots. Alongside his vertical pop, the incoming senior moves fairly well laterally, holding his own against a variety of positions.
Hunter Caldwell Hunter Caldwell 6'10" | PF Lutheran | 2024 State CO – Lutheran – 2024
Caldwell has consistently refined his skillset, notably the jump shot. At roughly 6’10, there are few bigs in the state with his efficiency beyond the arc, proving dependable along the wings and corners. Typically getting three point attempts off the catch, the incoming senior has been instrumental in Lutheran’s offensive upside and wide range of floor spacing. At his size, Caldwell is fairly active as a help side shot blocker, more than capable of getting a hand up to deter opponents around the basket. Continuing to develop his strength down low will be valuable for him to unlock his full defensive potential.
Kyree Polk – Vista Peak – 2024
Polk will be a frequent cover over the next 8 months, proving too strong in the post for the vast majority of opponents. At roughly 6’10 and over 220 pounds, the center is a difficult cover for any frontcourt matchup. Continuing to develop his ball handling with either hand in the post will be important, given his overpowering strength versus so many opponents. One of the most productive two-way rebounders in the state, Polk will continue to attract attention throughout the summer.
Josiah Fay Josiah Fay 6'4" | SF Riverdale Ridge | 2024 State CO – Riverdale Ridge – 2024
Fay will be a valuable defensive presence for Riverdale Ridge, showing strength around the rim on both ends. At roughly 6’4, the forward was a tough matchup for opponents, often staying in front of multiple positions while retaining a legal defensive position defending the rim. Notably through legal shot contests with both arms straight up, Fay does well protecting the paint without fouling. Offensively, Fay will be an impactful complementary scorer knocking down spot-up three point attempts and finishing through contact around the rim. Keep tabs on Fay as an active roller towards the rim, diving quickly to free up space for himself.
