Coleman is a do all player that brings the ball up the court for Central. He does a great job of splitting defenses and his pull up jumper is very efficient. He was one of the outstanding players in Thursday's (12/21), 26 points, 82-66 loss vs. Clarkston. If he keeps up performances like this he will fit his new ranking behind 6'5 Dion Sims as the #2 combo guard in the state.

One of if not the biggest sleeper in Michigan's '09 class Stoudmire has the explosiveness and basketball skill to play either guard spot on the DI level.

Most known for hurting dunks, look for Anderson to expand his game towards the mid-major level under a new regime at Kalamazoo Central.
