Corey

Hadnot II

We evaluate skill, will, and progress and he has improved since last March in all facets which is why I project CJ will work himself into a NCAA D1 level prospect. CJ must get more consistent with his 3pt shot to reach his highest potential level, but all the other tools are there to end up with LM/MM offers. Right now a D2+ no-brainer that has a great feel for the game, scores it at all 3 levels & can play the 1 or the 2. Explosive athlete that excels going downhill, drawing contact or finishing above the rim. Does a great job breaking down the D while staying under control, and soaks up coaching and can take constructive criticism in stressful situations. Will step into the leadership role at Cy Creek this year so he must embrace it, become more vocal, and demand the ball in key games to rise in the ranks.

Budi

Hamouda

College Ready Combo That Can Get Downhill in the Halfcourt and does a Great Job in Transition at Finishing Through Traffic or Finding the Open Man in Fast Break Situations. Physically Strong Guard that knows how to use his body in the Paint to shield off bigger defenders and finish at a high % or draw fouls. Has good shot mechanics on his 3pt Shot, a High Basketball IQ & good feel for the Game. Teams that run a 4 out 1 in System and Recruit Combos that can shoot, dribble, pass it and open up driving lanes would be a great fit for Budi's Game. Under Rated Scholarship Level Talent playing at Grand River Academy in OH.

Landon

Harris

Landon Is a Highly Skilled Big Man with Good Hands, Good Footwork around the Basket, and Finishes or Draws Fouls On the Block. Good Shot Mechanics on his Release When He Gets to the FT Line, and has a Soft Touch In the Mid-Range Elbow Areas. You Can’t Teach Size, and If You Add The Fact that Landon Also Has the Skill Set to Go Along With Being 6’9 You Must Take a Closer Look. Needs the Right System To Flourish, but If You Run a True HC Motion & Pack Line Principles On the Defensive End Landon is a Perfect FIT. It's Only a Matter of Time Before Interest Turns to a D2+/LM Offer.

Cade

Hartley

2 x All-District Player who is set to join the 1000pt Club this year at Glenn HS. 6'8 Skilled Stretch 4 who has the ability to score it at all 3 levels, tough matchup in PnR situations, and takes advantage of mismatches when they present themselves. Great Fit for Programs that run some High Low Action and set ball screens with their trail 4. Cade is a very tough matchup for bigger forwards, and too big for a Guard to Defend. Versatile Offensive and Defensive Player that can play and guard multiple Positions, and his best ball is in front of him. If he goes the JC Route he will end up at the D1 Level with 2 more years to Grow his Game, if he goes the 4 Year Route he would be a very good 4 Year Player at the D2 Level.

Continues To Get Better Without The Ball In His Hands And Defending and Rebounding At a Much Higher Level Showing He's Much More Than a Scorer! I've Evaluated Bryant at Several UC Exposure Camps And In Summer Ball and He's No Question a Scholarship Level 6'7 Wing-SF That Can Play The 3 or 4 at the Next Level.

Versatile Defender that can Guard the 2-4 Positions, Has Gotten Physically Stronger and Played His Best Ball Down The Stretch When It Counted The Most.

Ibikunle

Tahlan

Jackson

Tahlan Is Listed as a PG But He's More of a College Ready Combo That Would Fit Great In a 3 Guard Backcourt Where Coaches Look To Recruit Combo's Over Pure PG's. Strong Guard That Scores It at All 3 Levels, Can Finish Through Contact In The Paint And Is Coming Off a Stellar HS Career Where He Scored Over 1400 Points, Has Been All-District Since His Freshman Year, And Excels In The Classroom. He Would Be a Late Steal For An NAIA That Has a Sr Starter Returning and Needs an Solid Freshman That Can Grow His First Year And Run Your Team The Next 3 Years. Solid Steady Guard That Can Help Both at the PG and Off Guard Positions Whose Best Is Yet To Come-
