A Look Back At The Expo (And Hopefully A Look Ahead)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Expo: Michigan (The Top 250) has consistently been 1 of the top showcase events in the midwest and 1 of the largest nationwide. There have been players at all levels, from players starring in other sports to current NBA players. We're going to look back on some standouts from last year's Expo, that we hope to see in the gym again at this year's Expo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Register for The Expo: Michigan at the link below using discount code "<strong>HankampHoops2024</strong>"!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://events.prephoops.com/e/1231/register/the-expo-michigan">https://events.prephoops.com/e/1231/register/the-expo-michigan</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1890558"],"_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-66f14b2fc4431"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boos had sort of a breakout Expo last year that was a sign of things to come. He went on to make huge strides during high school season and followed that up with an ultra impressive grassroots season with the Midwest Stampede. Boos has developed as a solid leader and floor general. He's shown the ability to groove his jumper as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1437572"],"_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-66f14b2fc447f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cull is player with tons of upside that really showed out at The Expo last year. I believe that he could be primed for a huge senior season and this year's Expo would be a great place to start. Coaches and scouts would love watching his physicality and frame. Cull has excellent versatility to go with it, especially defensively where he can effectively defend an array of positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1420408"],"_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-66f14b2fc44be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pleyer was a flat out showstopper last year at The Expo and would have all eyes on him at the event again this year. Many in state are talking about him being a high major D1 talent. We've seen high major talent on display at The Expo before. Could this be another example? Pleyer has really developed as a true lead guard and has shown off high end athleticism as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1300916"],"_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-66f14b2fc44fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nash was a definite star at The Expo last September and could make a big time statement again this time around. The versatile wing has proven a willingness and ability to defend both in the paint and on the perimeter. Nash has shown a nose for the ball and his activity around the rim seems to always lead to high percentage looks at the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1581432"],"_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-66f14b2fc4536"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is a player that I'm really high on. I thought he was one of the biggest statement makers last year and I know coaches and scouts would want to see him again. Last year he showed both his power under the rim and his ability to step out and stretch the floor. I believe that Braun has the ability to be an elite post player in the class of 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
