I think our NC correspondent @kjwilliams612 has flagged Mason Collins as being one who’s got a chance to be really really good in the future.
Wisconsin is dead to me. You could AI generate a Knueppel kid and convince me that he exists.

If I told you this was the Knueppel family tree, would you think AI generated it, this is real or I made it up?
Dad is named Kon. His brothers are Klint, Klay and Kole. Kon has 5 sons named Kon II, Kager, Kinston, Kash and Kid.
Maybe one day one of them hooks up with a Kardashian to konnect the K line.

Terrible news. Prayers.
Arenas is really fortunate that people willing and able to help break him out of that fire were around at 5 AM.
This video looks horrifying. Alijah Arenas Car Crash Video Shows Fiery Wreck, Star Writhing On Ground

Noticed multiple of our staff follow his dad/blair as of recent. Would imagine hes the early top target at guard for 2026?
Will be interesting to see new staffs approach/who they prioritize/how they set up pivot moments

AAU currently going on. looking at Nike, see there is a new aau team: Jet Academy (founded by Kenny Smith, and based out of Georgia)
They have this french wing on their program. Do we have our first @Hooandtrue dream HS recruit for 2026? TBH maybe cause I’m kinda burnt out from the portal

Interesting it was coach Ahmad Thomas who was out doing the open gym visit for Derrion.
@DFresh11 you got any connections to this kid? Was New Jersey Gatorade player of the year

Man I got nothing. I think Mark Jerome knows New Heights very well and maybe even coached there?

How does he project positionally in college?
4 or small 5. If he was 6’9-6’10 he’d be a top 15 player. Him not growing as much as expected may help keep him away from the blue bloods.

6’8” 225, so probably a four, but that’s pretty decent weight for high school, if it’s mostly good weight he might be able to play shorter five.
