Hayden Fredrick- By far one of the best guards in this class of 2027 class. Known to be the primary ball handler wherever he goes he has his handles on a string. He’s really good at creating space to get his jumper off as well in tight spaces. Hayden has an extremely high IQ, he posses that old school pg mentality, knowing your position and everyone else’s. He has a competitive mindset and wants to win at all cost. You ask around and everyone says you have to kick Hayden out of the gym because he always wants to stay and get work in.
Jackson Coehlo- Jackson has a long wingspan and big hands that give a Rajon Rondo look to his game. Already grabbing rim, don’t be surprised if he gets his first flush this summer with his Kansas united team this summer. Coehlo can shoot the 3 ball with the best of them shows great things on the defensive end.
Max Mellinger Max Mellinger 5'10" | PG Maize | 2027 KS – Mellinger has had an interesting journey and one many people wouldn’t be able to endure. After having a good season at Maize, he has developed his ability to drive to the rim and his frame is starting to pan out in his favor athletically. Already known to be a shooter he has the ability to become a scorer.
Aiden Dible- Aiden went from playing as a post player in middle school to playing as a guard this season. Sitting this year to evolve his game has done Dible a lot of justice and it will pay off this summer. His jumper has became consistent and earned a lot of respect from his peers. Really curious to see the evolution of the Andover guard.
Kaden Chalashtari- Kaden has good size already from his strength to his height with a good skill set to go with it. He has a good shooting form and solid touch which makes him stretch the floor. The maize bug has had a rough start, broke his leg earlier in the school year during football season but has has a nice bounce back just in time for basketball season. Huge upside on Kaden.
