<p>A lot of schools are closed today for the winter storms sweeping through Michigan. I've always liked to give some snow day exposure to talented players throughout the years, so we'll continue that tradition today. We're going to look at 5 sophomores that should have eyes on their games right now, the rest of the season and into the future.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Talk about a prospect on the rise. Gill's name and game have been heating up for a while now. The athletic guard can push pace and create space with his elite handles. Gill can attack the paint and make plays, but he can also spot up and shoot from beyond the arc.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Peake is definitely doing a solid job putting his name on the map. He does a good job finding a double lane and touching paint. Once Peake hits the paint, he has shown touch from there and from the mid range. He recently scored 11 points in a Loy Norrix win against Battle Creek Central.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">AJ Smith is a player to know and to remember. The shifty sophomore guard can make plays when he has the ball in his hands. Smith can create for himself and his teammates. He can hit a cutter in stride with an accurate and on time pass.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">New Coach equals new Noah. Not really, becuase Kronberg's always been talented. But I was excited to see Kronberg play for Coach Pickett since the hiring was announced. The young PG has shown tremendous growth and comfortability this season and looks like he's taking his game up a level. Kronberg has led a Saline team that struggled last year to a 3-0 start.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I really like what Gauthier brings to the court. He's long, athletic and bouncy. Gauthier can put the ball on the floor and use those physical gifts to finish at the rim with flare and force. I think he has a ton of upside. I won't be at all surprised if he has a highlight reel after every game.</p>
