2009 and 2010 Standout Guards from Grand Valley

This solid groups of guards from IPS' GVSU camp:

Luke Holtrip '09, 5'9, Cedar Springs- Luke was one of a fine list of guards that were fundamentally sound with flash that raised the eyebrows of coaches and Inside Prep Sports. Holtrip made sound decision after sound decision and the result was usually for an easy bucket or a three off the lefty's fingertips. He's a solid player on the DIII/NAIA level and if someone stretches him to 6' then I couldn't imagine why the DII programs wouldn't send offer after offer.

Robert Kaschalk '10, 5'9, Rochester Stoney Creek- Kaschalk was one of the better shooter of the day as he scorched the nets shot after shot. He was one of the better ball-handlers in drills but there is still room to improve his point guard skills. Growing may be in his cards while developing dynamic point guard skills is something he has the ability to control.

Mike Alden '09, 6'1, Roscommon- Alden is a solid two guard on the DIII-NAIA level and he should be a solid player on that level as long as he keeps a consistent stroke on the perimeter as he did on Sunday. Spending extra time wherever to develop his point guard skills will only broaden his horizons over the next months.

Bobby Naubert '10, 5'10, Livonia Stevenson- This point guard stood out to IPS in one-on-one drills and getting to the bucket or dishing off for a lay-up Naubert was efficient. The junior shot the ball well in station work and although I didn't witness his shot from three-point land his form wouldn't suspect that he couldn't.

Casey Pratt '09, 5'11, Portage Central- Three notes that IPS made from Pratt were decisions, quickness, and explosiveness to the hoop. Pratt was a standout that drew the looks of the DIII and NAIA coaches in attendance. He shot it well but what stood out was his ability to push the ball up the court.

Andrew Scarton '10, 5'9, Flat Rock- "The Flash" I recognized his style from warm-ups in the Super Showcase and National Championships this past July in Orlando. He can handle the rock and set up his teammates. The frosting on the cake is has ability to get to the hoop and score. He's a lefty that draws many similarities to a D1 Athlete, Dearborn Devine Child's Pat Biondi, who's headed to the Univeristy of Michigan for baseball. Scarton is a true basketball player who DII, DIII, and NAIA programs should pay attention.

Jordan Deane '09, 5'9, Southfield-Lathrup- "Tenacious" should be his moniker as he pesters the guards, post players, and battles in the paint. Improving his left hand and perimeter will move from one level to the next. Spending extra time in the gym developing his left hand and shooting fundamentals will only help his recruiting.

Colton Overway '09, 6'1, West Ottawa- Overway shot well from the perimeter and like any experienced senior used that to his advantage as pumping the jumper and driving to the hoop is what IPS as well as colleges observed time and time again. Pick your poison. He as well others could benefit from a pull up jumper to go along with their jumper or drive to the hoop lay-up.
