GRBA National Championship - Ramsey's Under-the-Radar Stars, Pt 2

Prep Hoops Indiana brought the summer to a close with coverage from the annual GRBA National Championship in Fort Wayne. We took in several games in about a 24-hour period from Friday evening until late Saturday afternoon watching teams across the 15u, 16u, and 17u age groups. Here are some of the top under-the-radar Class of 2027 and 2028 prospects who ended the grassroots season on a high note.    Fetz has continued to prove himself as one of the top scorers in Indiana's Class of 2028. That scoring ability was certainly on display at the GRBA National Championship this weekend as Fetz posted some monster scoring numbers for [program_tooltip program_id='2383637' first='Summit' last='City Elite'] Black 15u. The rising rising sophomore guard at Mississinewa High School averaged 31.2 points and 6.8 assists per game which included a 53-point performance in the semifinals where he hit 11 three-point shots.     We have seen Dixon several times over the last few years at Prep Ho[program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] Circuit events and he was good once again this weekend for 5Star - Baughman 16u. He is part of a dynamic backcourt that he contributes plenty of playmaking and shot-making ability towards. Dixon is tough to handle off of the dribble with some downhill quickness and good change-of-pace on the perimeter. He is a guard that is poised for a big junior season at South Bend Adams High School.     Be ready for this 6'1" guard to step into a big role as a sophomore at Jimtown High School. He displayed his well-rounded offensive skill set at the GRBA National Championship with a 35-point outburst for Indiana Impact 15u on Saturday. Fey shoots it very well from three-point range and has an impressive pop of athleticism that he uses to finish at the end of his drives or elevate to score in the mid-range.     Another standout for [program_tooltip program_id='2383637' first='Summit' last='City Elite'] Black 15u this weekend, Grieser was a double-double machine averaging 14.2 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. The strong interior presence has sound footwork, absorbs contact well, and is relentless on the glass. He may be a bit undersized or the position right now, but he makes up for it with his strength and non-stop motor.     It probably isn't fair to call someone that we have ranked in the Top 25 of the Class of 2028 Prospect rankings "under-the-radar", but we haven't written about Moore a ton so it fits the theme of this article. We love his mixture of physicality and athleticism. Moore, a rising sophomore at Bishop Luers High School, has been a consistent top performer for a very successful [program_tooltip program_id='2076170' first='Total' last='Package Elite'] 15u team this spring and summer. Look for him to seamlessly step into a go-to role this year as a sophomore at Luers.     Pippins checks all of the boxes when it comes to physical and athletic tools. He is capable of playing above the rim, rebounds at a high-level for his position, and projects as a versatile defender. The 6'4" hybrid wing/forward had a very good weekend for [program_tooltip program_id='2470527' first='Indy' last='Heat Red'] 16u including leading the way with 17 points in a game on Friday evening. His two-way versatility and athleticism should allow him to carve out a role as a junior at Cathedral High School this coming season.     This 6'0" guard from Bellmont High School really caught our attention when watching [program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] - UA Rise 15u in May at a UAA/UA Rise Circuit event in Hamilton, Ohio. He was good once again while playing up with his team at the 16u level at the GRBA National Championship. He is such a well-rounded guard capable of running the show as a playmaker or turning it on as a scorer. Selking also rebounds well from the perimeter and is a pesky on-ball defender. Under-the-radar guard in the rising sophomore class.     We've seen Van Order get hot from three-point range a few times throughout this spring and summer for [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'] 16u. It was nice to see it one more time to close things out at the GRBA National Championship. The 6'1" rising junior guard at Carroll (Fort Wayne) High School scored 16 points in a contest on Friday night showcasing his shot-making ability from the perimeter. Look for him to step into an expanded scoring role for the Chargers this coming season.
