Reisinger is an explosive young stud who brings passion and energy that fuels his whole team. Brodey is fearless and is always in attack mode on both ends of the court. A physical presence that almost invites contact to get the shots he wants as a guard for heaven’s sake. A great guard who can handle the ball well, a very good defender, and can flat-out shoot that rock on all three levels. Brodey prides himself on being a great versatile player who can finish through tough contact at a high level. Clutch and calm under pressure while remaining a team player. Brodey plays at his own pace. During Brodey’s freshman year playing on the varsity team coming off the bench as the 6th man, he averaged 10 points per game and 6 rebounds earning 6th Man of the Year for his team while being the third leading scorer and second-leading rebounder. Last year, his AAU stats were 24 points per game playing for All-Ohio and 9 rebounds per game. Brodey’s biggest improvement was getting better ball-handling skills and going off two feet in the paint more. Brodey’s goals for the next high school season are to win another conference championship, go even farther in the state tournament, and get better individually and as a team. What separates Brodey from other players is his motor never stops, his work ethic, athletic abilities, and mindset. I watched him relentlessly defend the other team’s best player in lockdown fashion while being almost unstoppably offensively in his own right. Brody was fierce, crafty, and an imposing force that overwhelmed every defender they put on him. Displayed nice court vision, delivering some sweet passes and gobbling up boards like candy turning a lot of those into fastbreak transition plays for his team. This is the fire he brings. You can’t teach that kind of drive and competitive edge and for Brody, it was natural and free-flowing. If you all haven’t seen this young star perform, now is that time. Stay tuned.

Armstrong displays a high level of versatility and flexibility that though it says guard he can guard and score at every position on the court. His length gives him an advantage with finishing around the rim and he also has a deadly pull-up jumper which is the best part of his game. He is so explosive off the bounce getting in the seams for that beautiful jumper, no one can contain Alex when he is in full attack mode. Alex is also clutch hitting threes in big moments when his team needs it most. The most underrated part of Alex’s game is his defense, With that length Alex can rack up steals and blocks, but also being able to keep my man in front of him with lateral foot speed. Last year, Alex only averaged 8.3 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. The growth and strides Alex made this season were clear in his stats as he averaged 16.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. The most motivating thing to impact Alex this past season was his 27-point game against Indiana game. Although they lost by a few points it shined among everyone and Alex got a lot of recognition from that game. Indiana Game was a well-coached solid all-around team with great chemistry and great players. It felt good to Alex to have a high-scoring game against them because of how elite they were. Alex’s main goal next year is to be a starter for next year’s varsity team at Hudsonville. He wants to play against the best players in my area and compete with them hoping to find a role on the team that fits his team and himself best so they can have a great season next year.

Dinkins is an electric young stud who loves to turn on the jets and fuel the transition game with his speed and strong handles. Nice court vision to deliver some sweet dimes. Maini is more of a combo guard who can get a bucket with that blowby speed but plays unselfish even when he is in attack mode looking to get his teammates involved in the game. Maiini knows when to slow the game down and run sets, and what sets to run. Maini knows how to push the pace and attack the rim. More of a shooter with deep range and needs to be defended full-court, being shifty allows him to get past my defender. On defense, Maini is scrappy and can guard anyone 94 feet. and always wants to guard the opposing team’s best player. I can get into this opponent’s head and get them off their game, where staying level-headed and thriving off of doubt and trash talk. Last season, Maini averaged 6.5 points, 7 assists, and 3 steals as a freshman playing varsity. Maini’s favorite accomplishment is scoring 21 points on the Puma NXTPRO circuit showing that he can compete against a high-level competition. Doing that helps showcase all of the hard work that he puts in daily in the gym. So far this AAU session, Maini is averaging 12.7 points, 4 assists, and 1 steal. Maini’s biggest improvement has been scoring the ball and playing more of the 2 guard role. During school, he played point guard and tried getting my teammates involved playing more of a point guard role, not scoring the ball. Maini’s goal for my 10th grade year is to lead his varsity team to a regional championship as this will be my second year with them. Show them that although he is young he can lead a team and put on a show for his city. Also hoping to hit 750 career points as he didn’t have much of a scoring role this year he is excited to be the number one option and step up for his teammates. Maini’s passion, drive, and work ethic separate him from other players. He works before and after school on his craft, even on days that he has practice, he is lifting in the morning and skill conditioning and shooting in the afternoon before practice. Maini takes the game very seriously so when they are out of town or state for tournaments he understands it is for business and he is locked in. He will do whatever he can to win and is always focused and locked in. Maini separates himself from people who don’t have similar goals because basketball is his life and he is determined to make it in this game.

Mullins is a fearless finisher through contact and a master at creating space off the dribble and on the dribble. When it comes to shooting off balance and shooting consistently from 3’s Bryar is lethal hitting his shots. A sniper from downtown. But Bryer’s greatest strengths are shooting the ball and explosive off the bounce getting to his pull-up, which creates space for me to get to the rim. Mixes it up on the boards well. Add a little defensive swagger to that this kid is electric and fun to watch.
This past season Bryer averaged 11.4 points per game with sick ball handles and dazzling crafty moves to create that space to get the shots he wanted, adding 3..6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. Playing for WV Kings Gold, Bryer’s goals are to win every big shot tournament that they compete in and to level up his IQ and his overall game while having a good sportsmanship mindset and believing in his team and himself. During the off-season, Bryer wanna focus on getting to the rim and finishing through contact without hesitation, and also becoming a more vocal leader out there. Bryer and his team lost in the sectional game against GW knowing that they could have competed at a higher level and given more effort individually and as a team than they did. They could have communicated more as a team and played at a higher level overall. Bryer will use this for motivation moving forward. Through this experience Bryer has learned if he’s not hitting his shots and things aren’t going his way, he will make a point to get his teammates involved putting them in the best possible position to hit shots and get good looks while going 100% on the defensive end of the court Bryer is at his best when someone hits a shot on him. It puts a fire under me because he knows he could’ve played better defense on that possession. The goal going into next season is to win a state championship, communicate with his team more, and improve his game overall.

Lenzi is a dynamic three-point sniper. with a high IQ and great court vision always looking for the extra pass despite his shooting ability. He has a quick trigger which makes it difficult to defend. You dare not foul Nico as he is an 85-90% FT shooter. But though he is a deadly shooter, he takes great pride in that one more pass to get the defense off balance. Nico averaged 12 to 15 points and 3-5 assists a game this past season. Going into this AAU session playing for Lincoln basketball elite, Nico has set the goals to strive to do all the things he lacked during his high school season such as getting to the free throw line more. In this AAU session, Nico is playing for coaches who are going to push him to not be one-dimensional and have multiple aspects to his game other than shooting. This will be what he works on the hardest this off-season. What fuels Nico’s fire the most is stepping on the court with confidence and knowing his teammates have the chemistry to play as 5. When handling adversity when things do not go his way he channels that anger and frustration into his game and in the right way. Nico’s number one goal going into my next season Is having the best mentality and becoming a leader on and off the court, understanding having a good mentality off the court is just as important as one. One thing a coach can expect is Nico’s ability to get his teammates involved and play 5 on 5 vs 5 on 1, something the coaches always stress. Nico possesses some intangibles you simply can’t teach. And with adding defensive swagger in the mix, the kid could be special yall. Keep a really close eye on this gem as he continues to develop.
