With scoring outbursts of 28 and 30 points, he showcased not only his ability to put up big numbers, but also how efficiently he could do it. Over four games, he averaged 25.5 points per contest while maintaining a remarkably low shot volume. What stood out the most was his ability to control the game without forcing anything. He consistently took high quality looks, made smart reads, and converted at an elite rate. Whether finishing through contact or using touch around the rim, his inside game was on full display. He was automatic on layups and floaters, using both craft and strength to get what he wanted in the paint. Rechtzigel is a name that continues to rise and one that evaluators should keep circled moving forward. With his blend of scoring ability, efficiency, and poise, he has all the tools to be a serious long term prospect</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2916936,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Demitri Schlegel","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Air Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"PLUTO","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6887da21e6ffe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schlegel was a standout over the weekend, bringing a nonstop motor and fearless mentality every time he stepped on the floor. He attacked defenders with confidence, using quick first steps and physicality to get to the rim, where he consistently finished through contact. Schlegel also showed he can knock down shots from the mid range and beyond the arc, forcing defenders to stay honest. That scoring versatility, paired with his hustle and toughness, made him a constant threat. Whether pushing the pace, making winning plays, or providing a spark, Schlegel proved he's the type of player every team needs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2385215"],"_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-6887e109c3e01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vandermeer continues to trend upward, and this weekend was his most complete showing yet. Already known for his scoring, he expanded his impact with impressive playmaking instincts and a high level feel for the game. His vision and decision making were evident every time he touched the ball. He set his big man up for alley oops, threaded passes through traffic and found the open shooters for the championship winning three. He ran the offense with poise and purpose, elevating his teammates and making the game easier for everyone around him. Vandermeer attacked defenders downhill with confidence, using tight handles and a shifty crossover to create space and finish strong. His ability to both facilitate and score made him a constant problem for defenses all weekend </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2820685"],"_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-6887e109c3e4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Seppa put together a strong weekend performance, making his presence felt on both ends of the floor. Offensively, he showcased his range and shooting ability, consistently knocking down shots from beyond the arc and spacing the floor effectively. He also showed a quick first step in transition, attacking the hoop with confidence and finishing plays on the move. Defensively, Seppa stood out for his effort and hustle, regularly sprinting back to disrupt fast breaks and get stops. His blend of shooting, speed, and defensive effort made him a valuable two way contributor all weekend</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2538834"],"_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-6887e109c3e90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Greene continues to impress with his consistent impact earning his spot on this list once again after a strong tournament showing. He's the type of player every team needs who's tough, unselfish, and always willing to do the dirty work. Whether it was battling inside against bigger opponents or stepping up to take big shots, Greene embraced the moment every time. His standout play came in the championship game, where he drilled a clutch, game winning three. It really highlighted both his confidence and ability to deliver under pressure. Defensively, Greene was a tone setter, locking down his matchup each game and bringing relentless effort on that end of the floor. His hustle, grit, and two way impact made him one of the weekend's most dependable and valuable performers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

With AAU ball winding down and Mile High Madness officially over, these guards delivered performances that will have you counting down the days until the high school season kicks off. Their skill, intensity, and clutch plays left a lasting impression and you won't want to miss what they bring next. Get ready, because the best is yet to come.
