BlueChips Nation Hoop Summit 2025 Wings/Shooting Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's the 2025 wing players that participated in the Hoop Summit. Its a very talented group of athletes with some already being offered and most others if not all should follow. Some excellent performances on August 3rd by this group will certainly boost their exposure and offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2208851' first='Ethan' last='Blackburn'] - Blackburn who's already offered by Waynesburg has really heated up his interest through the spring and summer. Getting in front of the right people at the right time is exactly what has led us here. Ethan really shows what many coaches like to see, length, athleticism and shoot well above average. He finishes drives at or above the rim, shoots it from three at a high rate and with his length and lateral quickness can guard 1-3. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2538911' first='Quinton' last='Harbert'] is the quintessential combo guard and floor leader. We love his energy and floor presence on both ends. The already offered guard has had good showings during school shootout season in particular where we saw him in June. Harbert could easily gain interest with some D3's very quickly as his High School team is full of next level potential and there'll likely be a few coaches sneaking into the stands at North Marion games. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2375169' first='Elijah' last='Martin'] has grown on us over the last several months dating back to March. What we see is a potential lockdown defender and hard to guard wing/shooting guard. While he has areas like all other high school players to work on, his strong areas are very strong. Martin gets to the basket in an absolute flash and hustles to the other end to defend. This alone will be enough to gain attention from college coaches not to mention he does so many other things without the ball that affect games. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2208825' first='Zane' last='Saunders'] seems like the most likely of this group to be offered early and often. While the size and versatility is there, alot of coaches hesitate on getting too warm while trying to figure out what he'll develop into at the next level. Not an uncommon scenario for players that size and skill set, but in the end, there'll be enough coaches that will be willing to help him carve his niche and offer. Saunders recent and first official offer has been famed Fork Union Military Academy who's coach Bob Williams is more than familiar with WV based players. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2241529' first='Coleson' last='Christus'] is the new guy on the block. A transfer into Cabell Midland last year, Christus sat the season out and took great advantage of his time to get stronger, add bulk to his frame and generally work on his game. He was the guy in the first session everyone was talking about early and asking questions. We loved what we saw in our first time seeing him in person and definitely see him at the next level as a solid two-way shooting guard. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2367481' first='Luke' last='Michael'] has a tool box with every tool and is slowly transforming himself to that guy who's a threat every trip down the floor. He shows flashes of a superstar frequently and could start peaking athletically at the right stage to grow interest in his future. A long and athletic player who is really a hybrid 3/4, Michael will likely be relied upon during high school season to be the top player on both ends. His ceiling is high and we're anxious to watch him develop. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1578756' first='Max' last='Moore'] is one of WV's best shooters hands down. Moore is excellent from deep as most have identified but he's just as consistent from mid-range. Moore is quickly developing a game off the bounce that will make him a serious match-up problem this winter. No official offers to speak of as of yet, but we do know he has the attention of several coaches in and around WV. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2322653' first='Trey' last='Stump'] is one of the kids we see who continually improves every time we see him. A fundamental and disciplined player, Stump is a team first oriented player who uses his talent and skill to fill gaps on both ends. However, coming into the school season we should see the floor leader and two-way player who likely leads his high school team in several categories. Stump has a high understanding for the game and is a kid willing to do whatever is necessary for a coach, which bodes well to make a college roster. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2337625' first='Brady' last='Strode'] is one of those guards who has cut his teeth in high school playing point guard but as he's developed moved to the wing position and even the 4 at times due to his willingness to rebound. A solid two-way player, Strode has led his high school team in scoring as a sophomore and junior while being a role player during AAU outings and making defense a priority. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2382654' first='Garrett' last='Wilfong'] who was one of the stars of the Hoop Summit, isn't quite as well known as we'd like for him to be, but that's likely to change and quickly. Wilfong is a super athletic wing type player who dunks everything available, rebounds at a high level as well as guard multiple positions, possibly up to four. Look for him to gain attention through school season with scouts in to watch teammate Bonner, and Wilfong have some options to play by spring. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
