Concise spin move and finish over left shoulder for the bucket

Well polished post move with back to basket!!
Luke Forrest Luke Forrest 6'2" | PF Mona Shores | 2026 State MI (2026, 6’2″, Mona Shores)
Showing power under rim – put back bucket through the defender
Sebastian Soriano (2024, 5’11”, Utica)
Shows blow by speed off the bounce
In state schools need to be aware of Sebastian!!!
Jacek Haight Jacek Haight 5'11" | SG Allendale | 2024 State MI (2024, 5’11”, Allendale)
Shooter – confident and doesn’t need much space
Tarren Calvert Tarren Calvert 5'11" | CG Wyoming | 2025 State MI (2025, 5’11”, Wyoming)
Always been a playmaker and steady ball handler – Today = shot looks REALLY nice – corner 3
Jackson Fitton (2025, 5’10”, Allendale)
Showing ability to get to the rim and touch on ball when he does
Douglas Schoenfeld (2025, 6’0″, Clarkston)
Catch and shoot corner 3: Caught pass shot ready + stayed focused and hit it even with hand in his face
Jaylohn Allen Jaylohn Allen 6'1" | CG Wayne Memorial | 2026 State MI (2026, 6’1″, Wayne Memorial)

Nice strong pump fake lifts defender, drives and draws foul
Jacob Pleyer Jacob Pleyer 6'3" | PG Watervliet | 2026 State MI (2026, 6’3″, Watervliet)
TRUE lead guard, but he’s so willing to do whatever team needs = willing to sacrifice for success
Will be a dangerous lead guard that can score at all 3 levels (just hit DEEP 3) + distribute
Gavin Taylor Gavin Taylor 6'0" | SG Coldwater | 2026 State MI (2026, 6’0″, Coldwater)
High IQ player – reading the action

Dakarai Rogers (2024, 5’9″, Henry Ford II)
Fast feet and explodes into passing lane – steal = takes for transition 2 = turning defense into offense
