He is a top-notch shooter, has been great this club season. Aiden is a very gifted scorer with drives and smooth/fluid pull-up jumpers. When he is "on" he can shoot & hit from anywhere on the court. Hanssen plays with great pace and his handles are impressive. If Warwick wants to make a run, Aiden will need to play well against the elite competition and that is what we are expecting.   [player_tooltip player_id='1537903' first='Brady' last='Vetter'] (2027) |6'3 G| [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Froslie   WHY?   Coming off a hot weekend at The Last Dance with a 4-0 record! Vetter is the three-level producer and leads Team Froslie in scoring. Brady has also improved as a defender. Expect another solid weekend the up-n-coming Eagle.   [player_tooltip player_id='2128940' first='Brant' last='Wassenaar'] (2027) |6'4 G| TEAM Warwick Warner   WHY?   He is the #1 ranked Prospect in a talented 2027 Class in South Dakota. Warwick finally has their full squad this weekend and we expect them to perform very well. Brant had a great frosh season at SFC as a major player for the Chargers who took 2nd at State. He is mature beyond his age, has all the skills, and is an impressive athlete. Wassenaar will be one of the elite ballers to watch this weekend at the National Open. He has to be on the radar for many college programs.   [player_tooltip player_id='2076018' first='Connor' last='Mebius'] (2027) |5'8 G| Hoop City   WHY?   He and the Hoop City squad have a tough game to start the weekend against MND1. PHD is excited to see what Meebs can do against that talented squad. Connor should be playing with plenty of confidence, he was a stud as a frosh PG in Class A and his club team has had a ton of success. Mebius is a sniper and a dynamic playmaker. I like his fearlessness and confidence. When the game gets close, Connor is a closer and clutch performer. Does he perform well at the National Open and prove he is an elite G in the Midwest?   [player_tooltip player_id='2132773' first='Crew' last='Rickard'] (2027) |5'8 G| [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Froslie   WHY?   This Spartan and his [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] squad went 4-0 last weekend in Chicagoland. Crew is an elite 3-point shooter who can knock them down from deep off the catch and bounce. Rickard is also a skilled dribbler & passer. He has improved immensely on the defensive side over the course of the club season.   [player_tooltip player_id='2054983' first='Drake' last='Mikkelsen'] (2027) |6'4 PF| TEAM Warwick Warner   WHY?   He is a sp[program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last='']al athlete who played varsity as a frosh in multiple sports. Drake is a great rim protector and a stud rebounder. Mikkelsen has shown a soft scoring touch around the rim and has no problem creating space. Drake plays as hard as anyone. Basketball fans will enjoy watching this kid hoop.   [player_tooltip player_id='2116301' first='Garret' last='Bieber'] (2027) |6'0 G| [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Jordan   WHY?   The young Mr. Bieber is a capable shooter with a nice/good touch around the basket. Garret has good length for his age/size. As he becomes more aggressive/gains confidence he could turn into a very nice varsity ball player. Let's see what he does at the National Open!   [player_tooltip player_id='2132816' first='Gavin' last='Shawd'] (2027) |6'0 G| Sanford Sports White   WHY?   The kid from Tea Area is a three-level scorer who is no stranger to putting up points. Gavin is also an unselfish and selfless baller. Shawd plays with high energy and he work hard on both sides of the ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='1657448' first='Gibson' last='Kinnebrew'] (2027) |6'3 G| D1 MN 3SSB   WHY?   He is the #2 ranked Prospect in ND and a super explosive athlete who has shined this off-season on a star-studded club team. Gibby rocks the rim, scores from all levels, does the little things, is a versatile/soild defender, and his skills are sharp. Gibby and D1MN play Hoop City on Friday night, it will be fun to see how he performs again the SoDak ballers. The sky is the limit for Kinnebrew.   [player_tooltip player_id='2237807' first='James' last='Schindler'] (2027) |5'7 G| & [player_tooltip player_id='2237722' first='Tanner' last='Kratcha'] (2027) |6'6 F| [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Prospects   WHY?   These two have both played well this club season/summer and will be in the mix as EDC starters this coming winter. How far can they take the team in the Last Dance of the season at the National Open? [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Prospects need to win on Friday night to get into the Platinum Bracket.   [player_tooltip player_id='2250186' first='Jase' last='Unzen'] (2027) |5'9 G| Hoop City   WHY?   He has crazy athleticism and a burst a speed that will catch your eye. Jase can make any play on the court and hit a shot from every level. PHD is looking forward to his matchup with D1MN on Friday. How does he hold on D, does he handle the pressure? Unzen and Mebius are smaller guards but they are dynamic. We are excited to see what Unzen can do on the big stage.   [player_tooltip player_id='1805088' first='Noah' last='Djibonon'](2027) |6'5 F| & [player_tooltip player_id='1537902' first='Trenton' last='Sitzer'] (2027) |5'11 G| [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Gregory   WHY?   They have both played well at times this club season and will take this basketball experience back to their respective Class B programs. Noah and Trenton have the potential to be All-Region ballers in high school hoops. Will they perform well in the last event of the summer? Can they produce as breakout ballers in Class B this winter?   [player_tooltip player_id='1651920' first='Owen' last='Terras'] (2027) |6'3 G/F| [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Mattern   WHY?   He has looked very good this summer and he continues to lengthen out. PHD will not be surprised if he starts for Horace this winter. Big O can score but he is also a creator for others and is no stranger to being a facilitator. He recently got picked up by [program_tooltip program_id='2075741' first='ND' last='Phenom'] and played well at the PH Finals. Terras is versatile, skilled, smart, and an opportunistic baller. Big things are coming for this young Hawk.   [player_tooltip player_id='1651919' first='Ryder' last='Majkrzak'] (2027) |5'11 G| [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Mattern   WHY?   Majkrzak can shoot it! No doubt about that. He can also handle the duties as a PG and makes some nice passes. Ryder is a 3-shooter with a smooth game. PHD sees him as serious player for the Hawks in the near future. How does he perform at the National Open? It sounds like his team will be short-handed this weekend and Ryder will need to provide a nice scoring punch.   [player_tooltip player_id='1537908' first='Seth' last='Heidenreich'] (2027) |5'8 G| [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Froslie   WHY?   4-0 at The Last Dance, this team is hot! Seth has had an extremely good/productive off-season. He shoots it well and is a talented/skilled passer and facilitator. Heidenreich is a quality offensive player. Seth has also done a nice job on the defensive end of the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='2237753' first='Wyatt' last='Weekley'] (2027) |6'2 G| [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Jordan   WHY?   He does everything on the court and has a well-rounded game. Wyatt will play a major role this winter and ORCS will be one of the best in B. He is skilled and shoots it well. Expect Mr. Weekley to perform well in the last event of the summer.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/PHCircuitLaunch-crop-475x312-1681138030.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/PHCircuitLaunch-crop-475x312-1681138030.jpg?w=474" alt="" class="wp-image-1902939" /></a></figure>
