Chris Mitchell Chris Mitchell 6'5" | SF Bexley | 2022 State OH , 6’5 SF Bexley 2022: Mitchell is the second highest ranked prospect added to the rankings as the future Ashland Eagle had a breakout senior season for Bexley that started in the Fall. Mitchell has a great frame and uses his strength well in the game. Mitchell was working defenders in the post when he got inside and flashed some outside shooting. Mitchell also was able to flash some play-making reps with Bexley, showing what he’s able to and what he still needs to learn on the court. Mitchell is a late bloomer who could wind up being a steal down the line for Ashland.
Colin McHale Colin McHale 6'5" | SF Turpin | 2022 State OH , 6’5 SF Turpin 2022: McHale is going to be battling with Mitchell as he’s headed to Walsh next season. McHale is a great passer from the forward position and also is a bigger bodied wing forward. It’ll be interesting to see where McHale’s offense is at the next level as he was up and down scoring the basketball this season as a top scoring option. McHale came from Covington Catholic in Kentucky and made the most of his move to Ohio as a senior.
Blake Pistro Blake Pistro 6'5" | PF New Albany | 2022 State OH , 6’5 PF New Albany 2022: Pistro is a sleeper stretch-4 who hasn’t gotten as much buzz as some other prospects around his talent level from central Ohio. I was impressed with Pistro’s calmness with the ball in his hands and decisive decision making. Pistro should be looked at by every Division III squad in Ohio looking for a forward who can stretch the floor and rebound.
Ryan Keifer Ryan Keifer 6'2" | PF Centerville | 2022 State OH , 6’3 PF Centerville 2022: Keifer is a great glue guy who doesn’t mind doing all of the dirty work that’s necessary to win. Playing next to a trio of first team all-state scorers, Keifer played his role to perfection for the Elks. While scoring makes the headlines, Keifer will join a college program and be ready to do whatever it takes to get on the floor and should be a great practice player as well.

. Graves played well on the interior providing rebounding and finishing around the basket after their main scorers drew double teams. Graves didn’t put up the biggest numbers but was efficient on the interior and played his role which will be crucial as an underclassmen in college.
