Recent Grassroots Stars – 2025

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was quality grassroots basketball in various locations over the last handful of days. Players from Michigan's class of 2025 certainly showed out at these events. We're going to look at 5 seniors-to-be that were recent grassroots stars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2735012' first='Ben' last='Solomon']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Ann SArbor Skyline","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669e68aec0213"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Solomon has had an excellent spring and summer, including both grassroots and summer high school ball. He was at it again with the [program_tooltip program_id='2075656' first='Michigan' last='Warriors'] 17u team at the NY2LA Final Chapter. He was a consummate floor leader that played smart with the ball and got it to it's spots. Solomon was able to initiate the offense, score and distribute. He had games of 18 and 15 points to highlight his play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1438266"],"_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-669e68aec0297"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This weekend was another notch on an outstanding grassroots season for Gibson. The dynamic guard was up to his old tricks again with the [program_tooltip program_id='2078459' first='Michigan' last='Playmakers'] at the NY2LA event. He was smooth with the ball, almost effortlessly changing direction or pace. Gibson was once again so consistent with his scoring. He averaged 21.5 points per game over the weekend with a high of 28.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2353069"],"_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-669e68aec02f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There seems to be a thing this summer with Clarkston boys standing out. Rosenberg was a definite head turner with his NO Wolfpack squad. He had an absolute monster of a game in a win against All Ohio Select, where he scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He followed it up with a near second double-double with 5 assists added as well. Rosenberg just looked so comfortable all over the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1616010"],"_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-669e68aec034d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Strictly Skills star made a cameo appearance with [program_tooltip program_id='2077029' first='Parallel' last='45'] this weekend at Braw For The Ball. It worked out way more than well for him. There was a lot of talk about his performance. He came up big in big moments as a heady and efficient scorer. He had a 21 point game and also hit a deep buzzer beater to force overtime, which eventually led to a W.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1587861"],"_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-669e68aec03a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams deserves some praise for the way he played with his Young Hustle 17u team at Brawl For The Ball. I liked his positional size and athleticism combination. There really looks to be a lot of upside in this young man's game. Williams was really impressive in a win against Summit City Elite in which he scored 15 points and grabbed a handful of boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
