Personal Statement

My name is Griffin Straub and I'm a 6'7" small/power forward at Saint Clairsville High School in Saint Clairsville, Ohio. In the current Prep Hoops Ohio rankings, they stated I was "one of the top prospects in eastern Ohio's 2026 class". (OH 2026 Rankings: #42 Overall & #9 Power Forward)

At a recent event in Cincinnati, OH a scout summed up what I bring to the court with the following post: "Liked what I've seen from Griffin Straub of MR22 Elite 16U here at the Queen City Clash. Skilled forward who can play above the rim, stretch the floor and protect the rim. Intriguing long-term upside on this 2026 prospect from St. Clairsville".

I'm a student-athlete with goals that include pursuing my desire to play at the collegiate level and obtaining a college degree. Currently, I want to pursue a doctorate in sports physical therapy like my mother. I believe I can be an asset both in the classroom as well as in your basketball program.

Special Invite / Zach Fleer: "26' St Clairsville wing Griffin Straub is very intriguing. Slender 6'6" wing with springs and a smooth stroke."

Straub is another player who attended our Expo who has taken a big jump from last year to this year. On Saturday, Straub started slow in the first 5 V 5 game but once he got going, there were few players as dominant as him during the second half of the showcase. Straub has good size for a stretch forward and started knocking down 3-pointers off the catch to wrap up the day. The biggest selling point with Straub is his ability to play above the rim with numerous dunks and layups where he’s getting higher than rim protectors. A high upside prospect who we saw a couple times on the Prep Hoops Circuit, Straub is another player who college coaches will get familiar with sooner rather than later.

Grit Region Finals TOP PERFORMER & FIRST TEAM - "Athletic SF for MR22 who had two first half dunks vs IL Warriors. In the second half, he did an excellent job spacing out and converted several more inside buckets. Showed he can score through contact later on with good body control as he backed down an opponent for a layup. Giving them a 9-point lead at this moment. Had his fourth dunk with a quick burst driving baseline. From watching him, I see a really good athlete with nice bounce elite versatility."

Ohio State Tournament: Top Performer - Straub is a nice modern forward who can play wing at the next level. He is a nice athlete with size. He had a two-handed vertical dunk in traffic that caught my attention Friday night. He has a really good touch in the midrange game. He showed some great turnaround jumpers. I love his skill.

Havoc in the Heartland STANDOUT PERFORMER - Brian Ramsey (Prep Hoops Indiana Scout): Straub stands out right away at 6’6” with impressive length and a non-stop motor around the basket. He is super bouncy with the ability to get up and dunk everything around the rim. His activity level also led to several offensive rebounds and some disruptiveness defensively. High-upside prospect out of Saint Clairsville High School for MR22 Elite 2026. Scored 19 points in a win and 29 points in an earlier loss.

PLAYER EVALUATION: A smart shooter and penetrator on the floor. A passer and shooter who plays the game with loads of confidence and intensity. This wing really enjoys the moment on each play. A nifty player who handles well off the dribble. A good catch and shoot player with a stroke. A player that goes hard on all possessions. He anticipates well on defense. Has good handles and will attack you off the dribble. He shows good court vision and awareness. A nice finisher around the basket area. Creates well off the dribble. At times don't get careless with the ball. Add muscle to frame to handle contact better. This player could help someone's program. His potential level could increase in another year with strong development. D2 or NAIA
