Super Six
Rueckert has a crazy skill set that he can tap into that nobody in the class has. He has the size to really impact the game in the paint but he has the agility and the quick twitchy first step to get by defenders in the paint and he has been getting stronger and that has helped his elevation. He is flushing the ball on the move, he is using his handle to get to his spots and he can shoot if you are not careful he will light you up. Upside is off the charts.
Mulford has shown a lot of growth in his game. He has really found was to morph his game to what his team needs to win. He can get in the paint and create for others. He can hurt you if you do not stay attached to him as he can shoot over the top or quickly get to the rim. His passing is elite and his wiggle continues to get better. Year 3 we are going to get a very well rounded lead guard over at Herriman.
Felesi is not playing at a traditionally high school but it does not mean that he is not balling. Felesi has improved his game and his stock as he continues to rise nationally. He is shooting the ball better and his attack game has taken new heights. He will be running with Vegas Elite EYBL this Spring/Summer so you can catch him in action on the Nike Circuit.
Highlights
West was able to stay healthy this year and he really showed were his game is going and that is up. He is a shooter that can get to his spots and when he gets to his spots he can really do damage. He is best off the. ball catching the ball on the move and he can really work off of screens. Look for him to take a major leap in his development this offseason.
Drisdom was on a tear this year and the biggest thing you notice from his game is that he is not afraid of the moment. Drisdom can take big shots and he can get to the hoop when he needs to. He is a D1 caliber lead guard and his athleticism is taking shape and taking flight. He will be a big time player next year for sure.
Too many people have not been able to witness the growth that County has had. He is a lead ball handler that can control and protect the ball. He has better vision and he is a shot maker. off the ball he is super tuff because he elevates and is always ready to score and attack. He is another player that has made a big name for himself on the national scale.
Highlights
Fab Five
When Beh was coming up as an 8th grader, I heard he was going to be good but he is playing at a level right now that not only makes you look twice but it also is impressive because he is playing somewhat out of position in high school. He is defending bigs and he is holding his own. Defenses try and throw different things at him and he is responding well. Beh gets to the midrange and does work. Beh also shoots the ball well and that long first step keeps him attacking. He is a player that has a high ceiling and could really keep Murray in the conversation moving forward.
Highlights
Sondrup had his way at times and his size and soft touch around the rim is something that you can’t deny that is translatable to the next level. He has improved his shooting from deep and is a true trail threat that you have to defend out in the perimeter. He is one of the most dominant prospects in the class in the paint.
Reiser continues to impress as he finds ways to score the ball and he is a scoring machine at times as he finds hole sin the defense that he can exploit and simply light teams up with his scoring. He is a solid passer and as he runs the PG full-time next year, you might get a different aspect of his game start to make it’s way to the surface.
Openshaw has really taken his game to another level as he has grown maybe two inches and he has become not only a rim protector but a player that can be a threat inside and outside on the offensive side of the ball. Look for him to turn some heads on the grassroots curcuit thi sseason as well as he did turn some heads during the high school season.
Highlights
Isaiah had a solid year taking more responsibility on the offensive side of the ball. He is relentless on the ball and he has picked up his scoring as he can shoot from deep but also get to the rim or use his mid-range skills. He was a big part of the success that Copper Hills was able to have and he will only get better next season.
