<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Grit Region Finals tips off tonight! By the end of the weekend, we will see who the champions are in this region of the Prep Hoops Circuit. Needless to say, there will be tons of talented teams and players in all of the gyms. Let's take a look at some of the players to watch from Michigan's class of 2026 at the Grit Region Finals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Take a look at our Grit Region Finals Players To Watch from the class of 2025 below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prephoops.com/2024/07/grit-region-finals-2025-players-to-watch","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prephoops.com/2024/07/grit-region-finals-2025-players-to-watch </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1808162"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6687f68d90900"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kohler can be found running with the Blue Water Hurricanes 2026 team. He's had a terrific grassroots season and has shown the ability to take over games. Kohler's scoring continues to improve which is a scary thought for future opponents. He's a true lead guard that can put up big numbers without being shot heavy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2081637"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6687f68d90957"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Farmer can be seen with BNB 2025. He's small in stature but very large in game. He's a slippery smooth guard that can find open space with the ball in his hands. Farmer has the ability to see through the defense and make plays with the pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2218001"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6687f68d90999"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nesovski will be playing with the [program_tooltip program_id='2076061' first='Detroit' last='Bulldogs'] 2026 squad. He's a player and prospect that's improving on a very nice curve. A lot of it comes from his relentless and gritty style of play. Nesovski will make hustle plays on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588193"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6687f68d909d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rademacher is a glue guy for a red hot Midwest Stampede 2026 Black team. Rademacher is a versatile and willing defender that can and will make winning plays. He's a big shot maker, as he's hit multiple huge triples that led to wins on the circuit this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2404301"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6687f68d90a18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Check out Parmentier with his Midwest Flyers team. The young man is playing up and proving that he belongs. Parmentier is a pure shooter at heart that probably has volleyball line type of range. He's confident with his shot and doesn't need much space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2218009"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6687f68d90a57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Calhoun will be a must watch for coaches looking for a player with heart and passion. He's willing to battle no matter the score or circumstance. He's solid with the ball and can power up a bucket under the rim. Calhoun is one of the better rebounding guards that you'll see in the gym. Check him out with the Midwest Stampede Blue 2026 team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2110784"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6687f68d90a96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gugle is a player that I've always really liked. He's a versatile wing that plays solid team basketball. He knows that a good pass can and will come back to him as a better shot. Gugle is a consistent scorer while really only taking good shots. He's probably underrated as an athlete and rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588185"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6687f68d90ad4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I had to include the Midwest Stampede 2026 Black's [player_tooltip player_id='1588185' first='Brendan' last='Slack'] in here. Why? How about because he's been one of the best and most efficient scorers in the country on the PH Circuit. D1's and D2's should have his game starred on the livestream this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The Grit Region Finals tips off tonight! By the end of the weekend, we will see who the champions are in this region of the Prep Hoops Circuit. Needless to say, there will be tons of talented teams and players in all of the gyms. Let's take a look at some of the players to watch from Michigan's class of 2026 at the Grit Region Finals.
