Continue ReadingToday I will be highlighting some of the best prospects in the state of Nebraska regardless of class. Each one of these young men has what it takes to make it to the next level and will add value to any college program lucky enough to grab them.
This Northwest Missouri commit had a fantastic grassroots season with Nebraska Supreme , showcasing his near perfect shooting form from everywhere on the court. Glock is best in a catch and shoot situation and has deep range with it, but also is an excellent defender who knows how to play passing lanes using his high basketball IQ to make plays on both ends. Over this next high school season we will likely see him put up several 20 plus point games and may be able to take his team deep in to the state tournament this year.

This dual sport athlete is not only a fantastic soccer player, he is also an absolute menace on the court. What stands out immediately is his presence on the defensive end as an on ball defender. Offensively his ability to control the pace of a game with ball in hands is way beyond expected, using his ability to see the floor and change speeds to get by defenders really makes him a tough player to guard. I look forward to seeing how is game improves over the next couple years, because he is definitely a player who should be on everyone’s radar.
Cooper is a versatile shooting guard/small forward who never takes a play off, the minute he sets foot the court he makes hustle plays that ultimately change the momentum of many games. He has the ability to knock down threes and mid-range jump shots, while also showing he can put the ball on the floor and create. Overall his best attribute is his work ethic, you can tell he spends hours in the gym trying to improve and grow as a player. His willingness to dive for loose balls and battle for rebounds on both ends is infectious. He currently holds two D1 offers from Air Force and Navy along with offers from Maryville University, and Southwest Minnesota State.
Moore is an efficient scoring point guard who is lethal from behind the three point line. Whether its off the dribble coming off screens hes locked and loaded and ready to make defenses pay. He is a volume shooter, but also is phenomenal ball handler and play maker for his teammates while still keeping defenders on their toes with his scoring. This past grassroots season he led a tough Nebraska Hoops Elite team to a respectable record in the Pro16 league and I have no doubt he will have huge impact in his teams success this high school season. He currently holds an offer from Metropolitan State but that wont be his only offer for very long.

This crafty small forward knows how to use his versatility to impact games and make clutch plays when his team needs it. Offensively he can score in multiple ways but his best attribute is his ability to finish through contact whether its in transition or a half court offense. He has shown he can knock it down from three and has a solid handle. He is able to guard multiple positions on the defensive end even guarding some 4’s this past grassroots season. He currently holds two offers from McCook Community College and Central Community College.
Garcia is a is super efficient forward who can get a bucket from all three levels. He is a fantastic shooter from three and mid-range consistently making defenders pay for leaving him open. Rebounding and the ability to push the ball in transition are two things that stand out immediately when watching this young man play. He is also a strong interior finisher making him a player to watch this season for sure. Garcia currently holds no offers but by the end of this high school season that will change guaranteed.
Highlights
Murphy is a quick athletic guard who is always in attack mode. What impresses me most is his ability to finish in transition with either hand, through contact, or above the rim throwing down several dunks. his court vision is excellent and is a willing passer, so you can literally put him at either guard spot and he will be effective. Murphy definitely plays with a chip on his shoulder and plays with a ton of intensity. Defensively he causes so many problems for opposing guard with his length, lateral quickness, and athleticism getting a fair amount of steals and finishing in transition. He currently only holds one division 1 offer from the University of Omaha-Nebraska but more offers will come in as this young man climbs the 2025 rankings.
Highlights
Martin really jumped on the scene last grassroots season making a name for himself in the state of Nebraska and caught the attention of several college programs in the process. This young man is the definition of a play maker whether he is scoring efficiently from all three levels or finding open teammates he is impacting winning at a high level. Murphy never seems to take a bad shot or force anything, he plays with poise, he is calm, cool, collected at all times and cant be shaken. Going forward I think he will make a jump in the national rankings for the 2025 class this next high school and grassroots season. He currently holds an offer from Cal State Northridge with plenty more to to come.

Gatwetch has a very Gerald Green type of game with his elite athleticism and the ability to knock it down from three. this young man is what I call I microwave because when he’s on he’s as hot as can be. he does most of his work attacking the basket and throwing it down but has also shown his acrobatic skills making insane layups while still finishing through contact. As a defender he is as solid as they come guarding 1-3 with no issues. This young may very well be the best pure athlete I’ve seen so far in the state of Nebraska hands down. I am absolutely baffled that he still has no offers currently but I know by the end of the high school season a lot of coaches will be kicking themselves for missing out on this one.

JaKeyce Fowler is going to be a name you want to pay over these next couple years. Just barley scratching the surface of his game, he has already shown he is ready to impact winning at a varsity level. He has several different ways of scoring whether its knocking down open jumpers, attacking the basket, or posting up smaller guards. His versatility on both ends makes him a problem for other teams. As he progresses through his high school i am excited to watch his development and watch those college offers start rolling in.
