The showcase that was hosted by South Dakota School of Mines and Rockford featured a large number of college coach attendees and talent from multiple states. From each session of the Rockford event, here are some of the standouts.

AJ Enyia (6’8 PF, St. Laurence 2027)

Long and athletic, Enyia brought consistent energy and effort on both ends of the floor. He ran the floor hard and was active around the basket, showing a preference for establishing position inside and scoring with hook shots. He has decent touch around the rim and can impact possessions with his length, though his finishing consistency and jump shot remain areas for continued development.

Defensively, his size and length allowed him to affect plenty of shots around the basket. He occasionally gambled too much looking for blocks and took himself out of position, but he communicated well and maintained a high motor throughout the session. If he continues to develop his offensive skill set while becoming more disciplined defensively, there is plenty to work with.

Massimo Ruz (6’3 PG/SG, Pius X [WI] 2027)

Ruz was one of the top point guards at camp, consistently standing out with his vision, pace, and ability to create for himself and others. He pushed the ball well in transition and was particularly effective getting downhill, where his quickness and athleticism allowed him to collapse defenses and finish in a variety of ways around the rim. He was comfortable playing through heavy ball pressure and consistently kept his composure while making reads.

His impact extended beyond the offensive end. Ruz showed active hands defensively, used his athleticism to disrupt plays, and rebounded with purpose before immediately looking to initiate the break. His basketball IQ, ability to control tempo, and end-to-end impact made him one of the more valuable point guards in the gym.

Pavle Djilas (6’7 SG/SF, Brookfield Academy 2027)

A skilled scoring wing, Djilas played at his own pace and did a good job using his size and physicality to create separation. He was comfortable hunting his own offense, particularly from the perimeter, and showed confidence getting into his shot. When he attacked inside, he displayed soft touch with floaters and other finesse finishes around the basket.

Djilas rarely looked rushed as a scorer, which allowed him to consistently get to his preferred spots. There were some possessions where he became overly focused on creating his own shot or was baited into difficult attempts and turnovers. Continued growth as a passer and decision maker would round out an already intriguing offensive skill set.

Brody Dreeszen (5’9 PG, Waukee [IA] 2029)

Dreeszen was an elite glue guy who consistently impacted the game through effort, energy, and defensive pressure. Despite his size, he picked up full court, sprinted into gaps, competed for every loose ball, and made opposing ball handlers work for everything. He played with a relentless edge defensively and consistently brought energy to the floor.

Offensively, Dreeszen showed good passing vision and the ability to create opportunities for teammates while also possessing a fluid jumper with a quick trigger. His communication and leadership were noticeable throughout the session, as he constantly worked to keep his teammates engaged. He is the type of high-motor player who can influence winning without needing to dominate the ball.

Parker Klein (6’4 SG, Middleton [WI] 2029)

Klein was one of the better pure shooters at camp, consistently stretching the floor with a confident and repeatable stroke. His size gives him some added value as a perimeter shooter, and he showed the type of shooting ability that can translate well to a 3-and-D role down the road.

There is still plenty of physical development ahead as he continues growing into his frame. Adding strength while continuing to develop defensively will be important, but the combination of size and shooting gives Klein an intriguing path as a wing prospect.

Sivante Stokes (6’1 PG, Calumet [IN] 2027)

Stokes was at his best attacking downhill, using his quick reactions and explosiveness to consistently get into the paint. He is an elite slasher who can quickly get to his spots and uses his athleticism to finish through and around defenders. That explosiveness also translated defensively, where he showed the ability to elevate and make plays around the rim despite being a guard.

Expanding his perimeter skill set will be an important next step as he looks to become a more complete offensive player. He also has the athletic tools to impact more possessions as a rebounder. His quickness, burst, and defensive playmaking ability give him plenty of avenues to make an impact.

Corey Kidd Jr. (5’6 PG, Hononegah 2030)

Kidd was undersized but showed a very capable perimeter shooting stroke throughout the session. He played with a calm approach offensively and rarely appeared sped up, even when facing pressure. Once he found a rhythm, he was capable of knocking down multiple shots in succession and quickly changing the flow of a game.

His shooting ability makes him difficult to leave open, particularly because he can get into a rhythm quickly. Continued physical development will be important, but the ability to shoot confidently under pressure is already a notable part of his skill set.

Jared Van Donselaar (6’8 PF, Grayslake North 2028)

Van Donselaar’s length was immediately noticeable around the basket, where he was extremely active on the offensive glass and consistently created second-chance opportunities. He used his size to rise over defenders and showed an aggressive mindset attacking the rim, which helped him draw fouls and put pressure on the defense.

Adding strength will be important as he continues developing physically and learning how to maximize his length on the defensive end. There is plenty to like in the combination of size, activity, and offensive aggression, particularly as he continues growing into his frame.

Jaden Matthews-Thomas (6’3 SG, West Aurora 2027)

An explosive guard who thrives in the open floor, Matthews-Thomas was at his best attacking downhill and using his athleticism to pressure the rim. He also embraced the defensive end, showing a willingness to pick up full court and consistently make opposing ball handlers work.

His athleticism and energy allow him to impact the game on both ends, though there were moments when he became sped up and rushed decisions under pressure. Developing a more consistent pace and composure with the ball would allow his physical tools to translate even more consistently.

Jackson Tabash (6’3 PG/SG, Webster Grove 2027)

Tabash was one of the more skilled offensive guards in the gym, knocking down difficult shots with deep range throughout camp. He showed a strong understanding of how to use and read screens and consistently created quality looks for himself. His ability to score from all three levels made him a constant perimeter threat.

He may not rely on elite athleticism, but Tabash compensates with offensive IQ, decision making, and shot-making ability. His comfort operating around screens and ability to consistently manufacture offense stood out.

Koby Diaz (6’4 SF, Oregon [WI] 2028)

Diaz showed a well-rounded skill set and the versatility to contribute in several areas. He shot the ball at a high level and provided consistent value as a perimeter threat, while also showing the ability to put it on the floor and use his size to create advantages.

That versatility carries over defensively, where his size allows him to match up with smaller guards as well as bigger wings. He has the tools to become a useful multi-positional player as his game continues to develop.

Donovan Calloway (6’0 PG/SG, Wauwatosa East [WI] 2027)

Calloway was one of the better offensive players at camp, combining a shifty handle with excellent pace and feel. He consistently got to his spots and showed the ability to score at all three levels, using changes of direction and changes of speed to create quality looks. He played with a high basketball IQ and did a good job maximizing his strengths rather than forcing possessions.

Active hands made him a factor defensively as well, with a consistent willingness to disrupt passing lanes and create turnovers. His ability to understand the game, create his own offense, and impact both ends made him one of the more complete guards in the gym.

Charles Schlicht (6’2 SG, Grant 2027)

Schlicht used his athleticism particularly well around the basket, showing enough bounce to rise up and finish or shoot over defenders. He consistently competed despite not having overwhelming size and played bigger than his frame on the defensive end.

His rebounding stood out for a guard, as he regularly battled in the paint and came away with possessions. He also showed the ability to knock down open threes when defenses gave him space, adding another layer to his offensive game.

Demond Porter Jr. (6’2 SG, Springfield 2027)

A long, athletic wing, Porter Jr. showed the ability to make plays in transition while using his length and athleticism to create advantages. He ran the floor hard and displayed some crafty finishes around the basket.

His versatility was particularly noticeable defensively, where he moved his feet well and showed the ability to guard multiple spots. He also demonstrated better passing vision than his size might suggest, giving him additional value beyond scoring.

Jaxon Purvis (6’5 SG, Yorkville Christian 2030)

Purvis was one of the more impressive young shooters in the gym, getting hot from the perimeter and showing a willingness to hunt shots in transition. He played with considerable confidence and already has enough size to shoot over smaller defenders.

As he continues growing into his body, adding strength and becoming more consistent defensively will be important. The shooting ability gives him an intriguing path toward becoming a valuable two-way wing.

Landon Lethunya (6’9 PF, Lake Forest Academy 2027)

Lethunya was one of the highest-upside prospects at camp, combining size, athleticism, and perimeter skill in an intriguing package. He is a legitimate lob threat and powerful interior presence, but also showed the ability to step outside, knock down shots, and handle the ball comfortably enough to make plays away from the basket.

He also cleaned up the glass well and consistently used his athleticism to make plays around the rim. Adding strength and bringing more physicality to the defensive end will be important, but the overall versatility and athletic profile make him a prospect with significant upside.

Boti Szabo-Zsamba (6’9 C, Lake Forest Academy 2027)

Szabo-Zsamba brings a college-ready physical profile to the interior. His broad frame and strength allow him to establish deep position consistently, and he does an excellent job using his body to clear space on the glass.

There is good touch around the basket, and he rarely allows defenders to push him away from his preferred spots. His combination of size, strength, rebounding, and interior finishing gives him a clear role as a physical frontcourt presence.

Kevin Salser (6’2 SF, Hononegah 2028)

Salser was a knockdown shooter who consistently provided value from the perimeter. He also brought plenty of energy on the defensive end and stood out as a communicator, constantly talking with teammates and helping organize things on the floor.

AJ Lambers (6’1 PG/SG, Muskegon [MI] 2029)

A versatile three-level scoring wing, Lambers showed the athleticism to rise over defenders while also displaying impressive footwork and use of pivots to create crafty finishes. He can score from multiple areas of the floor and has the physical tools to make plays above the rim.

Lambers also competed hard defensively and brought a consistent level of activity to that end. His combination of scoring versatility, athleticism, and footwork gives him an intriguing offensive profile.
