Delamarr Blanton (Trotwood Madison) 6'1 CG

Blanton is one of the state's best dual sport athletes and will likely have his choice of playing either football or basketball at the next level. The 6'1 combo guard picked up his first Division 1 basketball offer from Radford after an impressive showing at the Flyin' to the Hoop showcase, finishing with a game-high 23 points versus Pace Academy (GA). Blanton is an aggressive scorer, with a quick first step, that uses his athleticism to convert athletic plays in the open floor. He's also a dangerous shotmaker who shoots a good ball out to three. 

Ja'Corey Lipkins (Canton GlenOak) 6'0 PG

Lipkins comes from a basketball family and like those who came before him, he has a knack for scoring the rock. At 6'0, he's a rhythm shotmaker that uses a good change of speed combined with quick crossovers and hesitation moves to create space.  Lipkins is averaging a team best 15.4 PPG for the Eagles and will be playing with Wildcat Select (PA) this upcoming Spring on the Adidas 3SSB circuit. Holds an offer from Youngstown State.

Luke Skaljac (Brecksville) 6'0 PG

Skaljac has been perhaps the state's biggest breakout star of the 2021-22 season and Tuesday night was a clear indication of that. Skaljac had a monster performance as he scored 31 points (12/17 FG) in a crucial win against St. Edward on the road, spoiling the Eagles senior night. The lefty guard plays with a unique pace and has a polished floor game at 6'0. He's shooting over 40% from behind the arc and is effective 15 feet and in, using ball screens to get to his spots and knock down pullup jumpers. Skaljac is a gifted passer with great vision and has the ability to setup teammates off the dribble drive. The Bees have a chance to finish off the best regular season in school history with a win this Friday against North Royalton.
