2025’s That Are About To Go Off

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>High school season is quickly approaching. There are a lot of talented seniors ready to make their last run a memorable one. I'm going to give you 15 seniors that I think are going to "go off" and have huge high school seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep in mind, this is regardless of ranking, just 15 players that I think will have huge senior seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1437536"],"_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-66ba0bdba6675"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Captain Obvious here.

He's built like a 4 and rebounds like one. But if you really watch, he can take his man outside and get buckets as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1373000"],"_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-66ba0bdba680a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If a threw up a shot on a court full of girzzly bears and [player_tooltip player_id='1373000' first='Camden' last='Thompson'], I have no doubt that Thompson is walking away with that board.

He was at times unguardable as a junior and now he's a year more seasoned. Westerdale has a pretty rhythm on his shot and every one looks like it's going in. Most in fact do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1437542"],"_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-66ba0bdba694e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Frakes is just going to be so hard for almost all high school teams to match up with.

He's a versatile forward that can cause all sorts of matchup issues for opponents.

He has one of the hardest and most aggressive jab steps in the state and he can use it to create space for his jumper or to attack the rim. Junge has the ability to take over games this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1289694"],"_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-66ba0bdba6a90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wesolej committed to Hope College last month. That's a huge win in Holland. He's a true 3 level scorer and, like some of the guys listed above, can attack matchups and go strength to weakness.

This year is his time to shine. Chelsea was a Final 4 team last year, but they lost 2 high level guards. There's a lot of ball time and shots opening up and Blanton will step right in nicely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1429044"],"_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-66ba0bdba6b66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is a classic case of small town, big game. The young man deserves more ink than he probably gets on a statewide level. There's a reason that he has multiple next level offers. Sanders is a solid all around athlete that can shoot and attack the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1438247"],"_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-66ba0bdba6bd0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McDowell is a big game player. A young man with no nerves. I guarantee that he'll hit multiple huge buckets for River Rouge this season.

He's a composed point guard that doesn't force the action. He patiently works from left to right until he finds a lane or hole in the D.

He ended the summer in style at Brawl 4 The Ball. He was consistent and smart with his jumper. If Lutz rides his summer momentum into the high school season, we'll be seeing his name often.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>NOTES:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Expo: Michigan (The Top 250) is almost here!
