Run It Back At The Mitten State Mash

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our last piece was entitled "Going Back For Seconds At The Mitten State Mash". This article is along those same lines, giving you 5 players that I've seen play this spring, but I'm making sure that I see again at this event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out more Mitten State Mash previews below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prephoops.com/2026/05/mitten-state-mash-must-see-17u-guards/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prephoops.com/2026/05/mitten-state-mash-must-see-17u-guards/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prephoops.com/2026/05/going-back-for-seconds-at-the-mitten-state-mash/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prephoops.com/2026/05/going-back-for-seconds-at-the-mitten-state-mash/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2977599"],"_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-69f9e703718f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've seen Clark a couple times, but you know what they say, the more the merrier. This young man has a bright future in the game of basketball. He's strong with a good frame and he knows how to use that strength on the glass. Clark is a good screener and moves well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2442779"],"_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-69f9e70371960"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Green impressed me at Rumble In The Rapids and I look forward to seeing Round 2. He's a modern day shooting lead guard. Green doesn't force and let's the game come to him. If his teammate is feeling it, Green can and will get him the ball. But if he's feeling his jumper, he'll get it off and probably bury it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2395266"],"_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-69f9e703719a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cole Wells caught my eye in Grand Rapids a couple weeks ago. He wasn't shot heavy or shot reliant, but he also seemed to know when his Jayhawk team needed a bucket and he was usually able to go get it. Wells could square up on the right wing and create a good look at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3501919"],"_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-69f9e703719f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beckman looked really solid with the Toledo Ice at the beginning of grassroots season. I'm looking forward to seeing how his game has progressed. He has a hard-nosed style of play that allows him to play comfortably through contact. Beckman has also shown nice touch around the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3462663"],"_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-69f9e70371a42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was impressed with Cook's game earlier this spring when I saw him with the PRE Hoops team. He was a power player that could play off contact. Cook showed the ability to power up between or through defenders. This made him really dangerous working off the high post.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
