Top Performers
Jordan Priddy | 2026 | 6’3” G | Lima Central HS | Ohio Buckets Black AAU
Hands down the best guard my team has faced so far in the early season. His ability to impact the game in multiple facets—scoring, rebounding, passing, and defending—combined with his high basketball IQ and feel for the game, mark him as a standout prospect. His defensive prowess, both on-ball and in help situations, along with his ability to stay effective within the flow of the game plan regardless of defensive schemes, make him a mature, versatile player who does everything incredibly well to elevate his team.
Griffin Ridner Richard | 2026 | 6’5” | CHCA HS | Shining Stars-Price AAU
Griffin is a highly intelligent and versatile basketball player with a polished, old-school game. His ability to read mismatches, position himself effectively, and use fundamental skills like footwork, head fakes, and various post moves, plus pull you out the 3-point line, make him a matchup nightmare. His rebounding instincts and anticipation further elevate his impact. With his high basketball IQ and adaptability to various playing styles, he’s a promising prospect with significant potential for growth.
Jack Leppelmeier | 2026 | 6’2” G | Pettisville HS | NW Ohio AAU
Jack is an explosive and elusive guard who excels at using angles to break down defenses and attack the rim. His speed and shiftiness make him nearly unstoppable in transition, often winning foot races to the basket. Despite frequent defensive switches, he consistently beats his defender, scoring efficiently or dishing for assists when help rotates. Defensively, he’s tenacious, with quick hands, excellent footwork, and strong positioning. A clutch performer, he thrives with the ball in high-pressure moments, making smart, situational plays that impact winning. He’s a dynamic two-way player with a knack for shining when it matters most.
