There’s a lot to like about this young man’s game. He seems to play with an aggressive confidence. Swagger if you may. Ribel can take the ball to the rim with physicality using a low front shoulder and a strong off arm to shield the defenders. He has a nice jumper with range as well.
Slack has a chance to be one of the most exciting wing players in the area. He’s solid with the ball in his hands and has the ability to create his own look at the rim. Slack also has a more than reliable jumper that he can hit from behind the arc. When he starts grooving his jumper, he’s very tough to defend with his ability to shoot and create.
Highlights
Zickert stepped up and played the point position on varsity as a freshman for Benzie Central. Well, the area better watch out because he’s gotten a lot bigger and a lot stronger. Zickert was terrific this summer with the Midwest Stampede. He still has the foot speed, but now defensively he adds a lot of power and physicality. He can be an absolute menace pressuring the ball at half court.
Viehman is a very exciting post prospect. Offensively, he has a nice bask to the basket spin move and can also stretch the floor with a jumper that he can hit from behind the arc. Viehman is a force defensively as well. He’s a ferocious shot blocker that doesn’t just send it back, but returns the shot with authority.
Highlights
Rademacher really put himself on the map this spring and summer with the Midwest Stampede. He’s a tough and strong kid that really takes pride in his perimeter defense. Rademacher is extremely coachable and ready to take on whatever task or role is needed from him.
Highlights
Feeney had a breakout weekend in Chicago with the Midwest Stampede. He showed absolute next level speed. Feeney could take ball and simply beat the defense down the floor and putting himself and his team into scoring positions. He also showed a nice looking jumper that he could shoot from corner to corner.
