Check out Part 1 below!
Brayden Williams Brayden Williams 5'11" | PG Wyoming | 2027 State MI (Wyoming)
Williams showed up in my notes a lot and coaches at the event raved about him. He was a slippery athlete that hit big shots.
Cam Crowder (Forest Hills Northern)
Crowder was a head turner at the event. He showed that he can absolutely catch fire with his shot. Coach Ingalls even noted that Crowder went 8 for 10 shooting in a game.
Malachi Clayton Malachi Clayton 5'8" | PG Detroit Catholic Central | 2027 State MI (Detroit Catholic Central)
Clayton drew some attention to his game at the Freshman Showcase. Coaches were very complimentary in regards to his all around game.
Jakyi Brown-Abston (Coldwater)
Brown-Abston is a player that I’m lucky enough to be very familiar with. He’s an athletic wing that can make plays in transition. Brown-Abston carries a ton of upside!
Ben Geerdes Ben Geerdes 6'2" | SG Caledonia | 2027 State MI (Caledonia)
Geerdes sent a message in Grand Rapids. If you like leadership and toughness and a player willing to do the little things, you’ll enjoy watching him in the coming years.
Blaise Crist Blaise Crist 6'0" | PG Edwardsburg | 2027 State MI (Edwardsburg)
Crist was an impressive prospect in Grand Rapids. It was his defense that ruled the day. Crist consistently challenged shooters and didn’t allow clean looks at the rim.
Makai Campos Makai Campos 5'10" | PG West Ottawa | 2027 State MI (West Ottawa)
Campos got the job done at the showcase. He was an impressive lead guard that could score and distribute in transition.
Braylon Taylor Braylon Taylor 5'7" | PG Grand Rapids Christian | 2027 State MI (Grand Rapids Christian)
Taylor left a big impression on scouts and coaches. His ability to throw the right pass in the right place at the right time was nothing short of outstanding.
Max Zichterman Max Zichterman 5'8" | PG South Christian | 2027 State MI (South Christian)
Zichterman was another player that had people talking after the event. He flaunted a pretty lefty stroke and showed that he could get it off and bury it consistently.
Landon Dirschell Landon Dirschell 5'10" | SF Coldwater | 2027 State MI (Coldwater)
Dirschell may not show up in a ton of highlight reels, but here’s the thing – Neither did his opponents. He’s a tough and versatile defender and has next level upside.
Zack Tropea Zack Tropea 5'5" | PG Lumen Christi | 2027 State MI (Lumen Christi)
I’ll say this till the cows come home – Don’t judge a prospect on his height. Tropea had one of the highest basketball IQ’s in the gym and was one of the top ballhandlers.
