Continue ReadingMy first night back on the Prep Hoops Circuit was a success! Here’s a look at some notable standouts from tonights games.
Physical, athletic combo-guard who made an impact on both ends vs the Crusaders. Strong first step to the hoop. Did an outstanding job defending on the ball. Forced tons of misses. I’m additionally impressed with his athleticism and versatility on the floor. One of the best overall athletes out there. Tough transition take and baseline finish to open the 2nd half. He stayed hot and led all scorers with 19 pts.
Highlights
6’1” point guard showed he can score both inside and on the perimeter in the opening stages. A pump-fake on the low block freed him up for an easy layup to close the first half. Showed he can be a playmaker as the game progressed. Underrated vision and court awareness. Defense was on-point throughout this matchup. Quick hands. Even got a pair of blocks.
Physical 6’7” PF finished with 17 pts vs WI Crusaders. Smooth touch around the rim. Really impressed with his ability to free himself on the low block. Drew plenty of fouls and converted from the line. Also blocked several shots in a dominant win.
Highlights
This was the first time I watched Burks and I was quite impressed right from the opening tip. Opened the game with an alley-oop feed and followed it up with four three-pointers. Three of them hit consecutively. Continued to flash brilliance as a playmaker. Picked up a loose ball and made a no-look feed to Gray shortly after. He ended the opening half with an and-one 3-pointer. Eventually finished with 24 points and six threes.
Highlights
Bouncy 6’5 Wing ranked #9 in Wisconsin. Opened the game with an alley-oop finish as well as a fast-break slam and a transition block shortly after. Extended his range for a 3-pointer late in the first half and hit another one midway through the second. Very impressed with his length. Guarded multiple positions.
The top 2026 player in Wisconsin. His ability to get out and run in transition really stood out. But his rebounding was on-point. It’s not often guards make their presence felt on the glass, but Gray did that. Reminds me of Josh Hart.
Highlights
Drilled three 3-pointers to open the game. All from different spaces on the floor. After a quick breather, he hit a fourth one with a hand in his face. Kept the volume going in the second half. Has tons of confidence. Finished with 19 points.
