<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024-2025 season is here! We're going to look at 5 teams from the west side of the state that may have Breslin Center goals and we'll give a player to watch from each team!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>GRAND RAPIDS NORTHVIEW</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Northview has some exciting talent with players perfectly capable of leading them to the Breslin Center. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2539865' first='Ismail' last='Hatibu']</strong> is one of the most exciting sophomores in the state. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1588161' first='Cameron' last='Ryans']</strong> has a terrific all around game and has developed into a national talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Player To Watch - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1300933' first='Brady' last='Swartz']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1300933"],"_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-673223134ce5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swartz has become a premier player in the state of Michigan. The Western Michigan commit has become a big shot maker and big shot taker. No doubt we'll see that on display as the season plays on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>BYRON CENTER</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I love the makeup of this Byron Center squad. Let's start with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1157486' first='Camden' last='Karel']</strong>. He's an elite player in Michigan and the type of talent you don't see every day. There aren't any tougher individual matchups around. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1336675' first='Isaac' last='Lee']</strong> is an elite athlete, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2218020' first='Jaden' last='Bowman']</strong> is a weapon on the wing, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1444929' first='Cassius' last='Bont']</strong> is a terrific perimeter defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Key Player - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1587845' first='Keane' last='Hinkle']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1587845"],"_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-673223134cec1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hinkle will be so critical to Byron Center's success. He can be their playmaker out of the backcourt. He's a slippery ball handler that could have it in his hands a lot and in some very big moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>GRANDVILLE</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is another team where I just really like the makeup. Yeah, they lost Regnerus, but these other boys can play as well. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2270810' first='Carter' last='Wade'] </strong>could be on pace for a big season. He's a downhill guard that can set the pace and feel of a game. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2610287' first='Caden' last='Neves']</strong> had an excellent fall, showing he will be a presence. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Player To Watch - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2262436' first='Colin' last='Heyboer']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2262436"],"_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-673223134cf02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Remember this name! He could be on the verge of a HUGE senior season and has the skill and potential to put up some impressive numbers. He has good positional size and ball skills and will be a match up nightmare.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>MUSKEGON</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Muskegon made a Breslin run last year and this team might be even better. There is top notch talent for days, and a lot of it is young. Muskegon doesn't look to be going anywhere anytime soon. For this year, the addition of <strong>Darryl Thompkins</strong> Jr. should be a show worth watching.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Player To Watch - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1805260' first='James' last='Martin']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1805260"],"_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-673223134cf42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martin is a top notch talent and one of the most exciting watches in the state. He's a true 2 way player that can get up and down the floor in a hurry. Martin is a dangerous finisher in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ROCKFORD</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is a whole lot of talent in the Rockford program right now. Let's start young. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2140494' first='Eli' last='Wolfe']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2539741' first='Josh' last='Bascom']</strong> are elite freshman. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1438856' first='Lucas' last='Pitsch']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1440217' first='Michael' last='DeKuiper']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1618171' first='Brennan' last='Deutsch']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2218161' first='Dylan' last='Gross']</strong> are all key players on this talented squad. Quite frankly, there are a lot of players on this roster that can come up big on any given night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Player To Watch - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2218021' first='Jake' last='Bascom']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2218021"],"_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-673223134cf7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bascom will be a must see talent this season. He brings so much to the table as a player and prospect. Bascom can defend multiple positions and will find high percentage looks on the offensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
