Players to Watch:

Jared Ivey – All-region honorable mention as a junior. Lead the team in blocks & rebounds last year with game highs of 8 blocks and 16 rebounds. Plays above the rim on both ends and does a tremendous job of guarding on the perimeter or anchoring a defense from inside with strong communication.

Kobe Jackson – Lightning quick PG that does a great job at getting teammates involved and finishing in traffic. Lives at the free throw line with his relentless attacking off the bounce. Had a season high of 18 pts this past season. Lead team in FT attempts per minutes played.

Brendan Rigsbee – Terrific on-ball defender that can guard any type of perimeter scorer. The lefty as a sweet stroke from deep that he combines with strong finishes above the rim. Great teammate and high IQ to go along with a 90%+ GPA.

RJ Godfrey – Long, athletic wing that can score at all three levels. He is a matchup nightmare at his age with his terrific post-up game combined with his quick first step & outside shot. His length allows him to defend multiple positions.

Christian Peterkin – Great handles, very accurate perimeter shot, and does a terrific job finishing in traffic.

Luke Keller – High IQ bigman that uses his size to control the boards. He combines this with a VERY accurate perimeter shot.
