Class of 2025

Jalyn Patterson - 5'-9" 2025 PG Minnesota Prep

Class of 2025 | 5'9" Guard | Minnesota Prep (MN)

Twitter: @jalyn_1k | Instagram: @jalyn_1k


I've really seen his game grow. He lets the action come to him. He could force things

because he is the number one option on his team. Patterson is unselfish. He has a high basketball 1Q and is an outstanding passer, tough for his size. Can get to the basket and has deep range on the jumper. He can defend his position and has the next-play mentality.

Ifaola "Tacko" Fawaz

Class of 2025 | 6'11" Center | Dream City Christian (AZ)

Twitter: @Tacko_25 | Instagram: 


Saw Tacko at the Pangos AA Camp in Las Vegas in June 24 Definitely a back to the basket offensive player, doesn't have a lot facing the hoop, but he's a big strong kid that defends, blocks shots and re- bounds...runs the floor well, is a good athlete and leaper, can finish at the rim strong...sets good picks in the P&R game and in a game I watched, he leaked out and shot a three from a guards penetration, not his strength... he's very good in the key, has moves on offense when given the ball, and is a good passer out of the post, but he really is a defender, rim protector and rebounder first, good post defender, is long and alters shoots...good

at outletting the ball for a break and will fill a lane in transition...average handles and better than average hands inside, doesn't really try to do much in the open floor...good body language, good teammate.

Kennedy Okpara

Class of 2025 | 6'7" Forward | Wilson Academy (GA)

Twitter: @KennedyOkpara6 | Instagram: @kennedyokpara_


Big, strong, athletic wing, good size and strength, outstanding rebounder at both ends, and a very good on ball defender with an above average offensive game, can shoot the jumper, a catch and shoot guy, loves the corner, has 3 pt range, ok putting it on the floor and creating his own, hard nosed, physical, has a bunch of upside, potential.

Robert Moore

Class of 2025 | 6'7" Forward | AZ Compass (AZ)

Twitter: @robertcmoore_ | Instagram: @r0bertm00re


Saw Robert at the Pangos AA Camp in Las Vegas in June '24 Long thin build on Robert, but this young fella can really shoot, was 6-10 from deep in one of his games...really good athlete, can get to the cup and can finish strong, good handles, good leaper, should be on the radar of a lot of coaches.

Kaleel Sutton-White

Class of 2025 | 5'10" Guard | Iowa United (IA)

Twitter: @Ohhkall | Instagram: @Kapohhkall


I love this kid, the PG that makes his team go, doesn’t have big numbers, his number one goal is getting his teammates involved, great handles, was great against pressure, killed it as ball handler in the P/R game, made great decisions, wasn’t afraid to take it to the rack with success when he had to, good range and a good shooter, outstanding passer, see’s the floor and is unselfish, an absolute leader, physical and a very good defender, there has to be a place for a player like this, gym rat that loves the game, won’t put up big numbers, he’s just a winner.

Tiefeng “Chefy” Diawara

Class of 2025 | 6'11" Guard | DME Wisconsin (WI)

Twitter:  | Instagram: 


Big, long and very active, good rebounder on both ends, and a good weak side defender, also plays good defense on his man, one on one in the block, better then average athlete, runs the floor well, is a back to the basket player that needs to improve his offensive game in the paint, better then average footwork, ok hands but big time motor and not afraid to bang, needs a program that will develop a big man.

Tyler Lucas

Class of 2025 | 6' Guard | Victory Rock Prep (FL)

Twitter: @TylerLucas760 | Instagram: 


This young fella is hard nosed, physical, can score from all three levels, not afraid to take it to the rack, a scorer and better then average shooter, good passer, with good handles, vocal on defense, can definitely guard his position, plays the passing lanes, good basketball IQ, good teammate.

Santonio Waide

Class of 2025 | 6' Guard | The Patrick School (NC)

Twitter: @SantonioWaide4 | Instagram: @santoniowaide


Physical for his size, nice handle can play PG or off guard, the lefty can stretch the floor by knocking down a 3pt shot, he can also get the rim and finish, plays unselfish and is a good and willing defender, good passer and a good teammate.

Winters Grady

Class of 2025 | 6'6" Guard | Prolific Prep (CA)

Twitter: @WintersGrady_ | Instagram: @win2ers


Saw Winters at the Pangos AA Camp in Las Vegas in June '24 A really good shooter, with great range, can score from all three levels, watching one of his games, the opposing coach told one of his defenders, to stay with WG, do not leave him and help, he can shoot, Winters hit a three on that very possession and the coach hollered, see, what did I tell you, the ultimate compliment... Winters isn't a great athlete, but he knows who he is and doesn't try to do too much... he's a willing defender, does a good job helping and playing the passing lanes and is better than average in one on one defensive situations...is a fair rebounder, boxes out well on the defensive end, but plays mostly on the perimeter so big rebound num- bers aren't really his game...offensively is unselfish, has better than aver- age handles and can handle it fine vs. pressure, is outstanding in the open court/transition, will pitch it ahead to an open teammate and will fill a wing and can spot up, runs the floor well, he can beat you off the dribble with either hand and can get to the rack and finish or has a great mid-range pull up game, is very disciplined on offensive, takes good shots, doesn't force things, is a good passer, see's the floor and and has the ability to create scoring opportunities for teammates...has a good basketball IQ and is a great teammate...in the pick and roll game he's definitely a spot up guy,

plays facing the basketball, again he knows who he is.

Will Beck - Shawnee Mission East

Will Beck has showcased his well-rounded offensive skillset, defensive versatility and motor all season and his recruitment has been picking up steam through his senior year.

Demonstrating an ability to score efficiently at all three levels. His high-release mid-range pull-up and consistent three-point shooting has allowed him to stretch the defense, while his length and footwork enable him to create his own shots against various defenders. Beck has displayed strong instincts around the basket, capitalizing on offensive rebounds for easy second-chance points. His ability to handle the ball like a guard and make smart, timely passes highlighted his court vision and overall basketball IQ.  

Physically, Beck plays with an impressive motor, sustaining energy throughout long stretches of play without showing fatigue. His leaping ability, combined with his knack for rebounding allows him to create game changing plays on both ends. While he already competes with intensity, continued development in physicality and strength will further enhance his impact at the next level.
