Jordan Tate 6’5 SF FOH 2022 – Friends of Hoop normally has some guys, but Tate was not a household name coming into the weekend. He earned attention however with his explosion, timing, and knack for scoring around the rim. He has good size and athleticism for the wing, and probably put himself on the radar of a few schools this weekend.
Garret Keyhani 6’8 PF Team Different 2022 – Keyhani currently has no offers. Based on his shooting ability and nice post moves, I’m guessing that will eventually change. He was a matchup nightmare in every game he played. The 6’8 forward was able to stretch the floor against bigs, and score at will against smaller opponents.
Micaiah Hankins 5’9 PG Gamepoint 2022 – Hankins played JV for Temecula last season. You would have never known that by his play this weekend. The jitterbug PG wiggled his way to the rim time and time again. He showed big-time blow-by ability and the competitive spirit to knock down tough shots in tight games.
Jaxon Heiden 6’8 PF Hawks (Gray) 2022 – Jaden Brownell gets all the pub, but let’s not forget about Heiden. He played well this weekend while complimenting his D1 counterpart. The 6’8 four-man displayed a nice skill set including the ability to distribute from the high post and a soft touch around the rim.
Danny Howe 6’9 PF Kings Basketball (featured image) – Howe was a pleasant surprise. He doesn’t move exceptionally fast, however, he is exceptionally skilled. The big man can legit put the ball on the deck and deliver it to teammates. Combine that with his size and ability to stretch the floor and Howe instantly falls into the sleeper category.
