Samuel Hirsch (Fremd - SG) - Impressd big time in their first game against the Memphis Knights. The 6'4 athletic emerging prospect scored the ball at will, with threes, mid range pull ups, and transition layups. Good frame and shoots the ball extremely well from deep, including a 4 point play.

Colin Stack (Benet - C) - Stack is an intriguing prospect playing up a level. At 6'10, he uses his size and length on both ends of the floor to impact the game. Really showed his value as a rebounder, and is a solid playmaker for his position. Will be a player to track for these upcoming years.
