During camp he brought with him a fearless mentality which was present on both ends of the floor for team 10. When attacking the basket he showed off his soft touch on his floaters and a knack to switch gears with the ball in his hands.     Stickney joins us before his middle school season with Kaneland. Over the summer months he ran with West Suburban Elite. The 5'0 guard brought sound floor general skills to camp and showed off his great court vision. I was very impressed with his shot selection and his energy were both a catalyst for Team 9.     Ganz is a 5 '9 guard out of Geneva Middle School. He ran with the Hyrup Hoops summer program. Ganz was a proactive defender and rebounder early into camp. After pulling down boards he found streaking teammates on time and on target for easy baskets. He was a solid contributor for Team 9's pace.     Toma comes to camp following summer ball with [program_tooltip program_id='2075622' first='M14' last='Hoops']. He will return to Wredling Middle School this coming fall. During camp he was surgical in space. He filled the lanes in a major way in transition. He tallied a number of corner threes and baseline drives for Team 9.     Potthast ran with Motion Elite over the summer months. He returns to Oliver McCracken this fall. At camp he proved to be a hybrid defender and was effective on the ball regardless of who he matched up with. Offensively, he shined his brightest in the open floor as he covered a lot of ground quickly before scoring or distributing for Team 10.
