Mahon plays with a ton of energy. He’s an unselfish player with great vision. He’s the kind of guard that looks to get everyone involved. On the other side of the ball, Mahon is a tough, tenacious ball hawk who can really lock people up.

Break out your hard hat if you’re going up against Derricho because you’re in for a tough battle. It’s hard to imagine many people outworking him. He runs the floor very well and never takes a play off. Derecho is a very confident shooter and looks like he can further develop into having a lethal jumper. 

 

 

 

Foster is the ultimate team player. He gives all-out effort and never takes a play off. His coach raved about his coachability and intangibles. He’s an underclassman who’s going to be a favorite among coaches throughout his career.

Johnson has a strong build and motor. He’s a physical rebounder who will win battles on the glass more often than not. Johnson handles the ball well and can serve as a floor general.

Muller was really impressive on Saturday. He plays with great energy and brings an aggressiveness to the defensive side of the ball that’s really exciting to watch. He can serve as a switchable guard on the perimeter because he can guard 1-3 equally well. On offense, he plays on and off the ball well. He handles pressure and makes plays off the bounce. When he’s not running the show, he moves well without the ball and shoots it well from 3-point range. - Josh Tec

Something that stood out about Vrankic was his willingness to learn and be coached. He’s a sponge for knowledge, and that’s a trait that’ll come in handy throughout his career. Between the lines, he plays solid defense and can guard multiple positions. Vrankic showed that he can shoot the three ball pretty well too.
