Damon Friery, a 6-foot-8, 190-pound 2025 forward from Cleveland (OH) St. Ignatius, is one of the top young players in Ohio. Friery played with the Michigan-based Bates Fundamental AAU program at the EYBL event in Kansas City, attracting attention from several top programs, including Minnesota as Gopher assistant coach Jason Kemp watched him.
