Alex Wilcoxson Alex Wilcoxson 5’11” | SG Gretna | 2024 State NE is known state wide for his ability to shoot the basketball. In a class filled with elite outside shooters, Wilcoxson may be the top one. I caught him several times this summer drilling 4-5 3 pointers a game with Nebraska Supreme . Just recently, Wilcoxson announced his commitment to NAIA powerhouse, Morningside. Wilcoxson was being pursued by some of the top GPAC schools in the region, so this is a big time pickup for the Mustangs. Wilcoxson will look to have a monster senior season at Gretna.
Neal Mosser Neal Mosser 6’2″ | SG Millard North | 2024 State NE is another kid with an absolute cannon from the perimeter. This July with ETG, he had several outings where he went off from 3. In addition to his outside shooting, Mosser is incredibly crafty with the ball in his hands. He is an underrated passer and playmaker for others. I expect Mosser to have a great senior season with Millard North. He is one of the top uncommitted prospects in the state, and is ready to compete at the next level.
I have a feeling Aidan McDowell Aidan McDowell 6’4″ | SG Crete | 2024 State NE is going to have a monster senior season for Crete this upcoming year. With the way he finished July, it is only right to assume so. McDowell is not only a great shooter from the outside, but he is also a great scorer. With the way he has made strides in his game this spring/summer, it is easy to tell that he is a gym rat. Currently, McDowell hosts a good amount of NAIA offers. It will be interesting to see his recruitment unfold.
Ayden Zikmund Ayden Zikmund 6’2″ | SG Central City | 2024 State NE is the second prospect in this article who committed to play basketball at Morningside. He announced his commitment after a nice grassroots season with ETG. While Zikmund goes to a smaller school, he is still a bucket, and a knockdown shooter from the outside. Last season, he finished with 75 made threes for Central City. Look for him to top that amount in his senior season.
Carson Jones Carson Jones 6’2″ | SG Creighton Prep | 2024 State NE quickly established himself as one of the top outside shooters in the state this summer. He is an exceptional shooter off of the catch, and tough enough to attack a closeout and finish at the rim. I expect him to make some noise his senior season with Creighton Prep. He will be playing with other scholarship level prospects, so he will have a lot of eyes on him. Currently, Jones hosts an offer from Simpson College.
