Max Burton Max Burton 6'10" | SF Williamston | 2022 State MI (2022, SF, Williamston)
You have so much talent and I truly believe that you’ll be a huge success at the next level. Everyone knows that you have the positional size and skills to be great, but you also have a champions work ethic.
Thomas Dillard Iv Thomas Dillard Iv 6'4" | SF Kalamazoo Central | 2022 State MI (2022, SF, Kalamazoo Central)
You are proof that defense can take you anywhere in the game. I know that you can score, but your defense is elite and is, and will continue to, open doors for you.
Cooper Fairman Cooper Fairman 6'3" | SF Saline | 2022 State MI (2022, G/F, Saline)
You’ve dealt with injury issues like a champion and have come out better on the other side. We’ve seen you compete at the highest level with some of the best in the state.
JaVaughn Hannah JaVaughn Hannah 6'4" | SG Orchard Lake St. Mary's | 2022 State #221 Nation MI (2022, SG, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s)
You being back in MHSAA basketball makes the state better as a whole. Your prolific offense is fun to watch and I can’t wait to see you make a run at a state championship.
Kenoly Jones Kenoly Jones 5'10" | PG Stevenson | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Livonia Stevenson)
Keep working young man, because we see your potential. Jones was solid in the spring and summer and showed out at a Flight Hankamp Open Run. He’s a slippery athlete that can create as well as be a menace in the open floor.
Reichen Lund Reichen Lund 6'6" | CG Linden | 2022 State MI (2022, CG, Linden)
I’m so impressed with your patience and ability to follow your own path. You’ve developed your game nicely on both ends of the floor and are having a terrific senior season on both ends of the floor.
Xander Middleton Xander Middleton 6'5" | SG Monroe | 2022 State MI (2022, SG, Monroe)
I’ve always seen the raw talent in your game and it’s great to see the player that you’ve turned into. You can play over top the defender and are confident in your ability to get buckets and make big shots.
Brady Titus Brady Titus 5'10" | PG Tri-Unity Christian | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Tri-Unity Christian)
You’re one of the best point guards in the state and people will see when you hit the next level. We’ve always appreciated your hard work and ability to play through adversity and be a role model to the next generation of players.
Derrick Voltz Derrick Voltz 6'4" | CG Carrollton | 2022 State MI (2022, CG, Carrollton)
Mr. Voltz, you are one of the most exciting players to watch in the state. You’re a firecracker on offense and it’s great to see you get the recognition you deserve with your McDonald’s All American Game nomination.
Elisha Warren Elisha Warren 6'0" | PG Woodhaven | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Woodhaven)
You deserve to be mentioned among some of the best perimeter players in the state. Your offensive game is dynamic and you can score in a variety of ways.
Chansey Willis Chansey Willis 6'2" | PG Detroit King | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Detroit King)
You are a refreshing reminder that players still care about defense and know that defense and hustle wins before a highlight reel does.
