Trenton Driskill, 6’6, F, 2019, Valley Center
A skilled forward with good size and athleticism, Driskill is coming off a strong summer playing for Wichita-based NLHA. He runs the floor exceptionally well, is comfortable facing up on the perimeter and can shoot the mid-range or put the ball on the floor a little. Driskill is averaging 15 points and 4.7 rebounds per game this season through the Hornets first nine games. He has established himself as a prospect small colleges should be tracking through the final stages of the season.
Cade Howard, 6’6, PF/C, 2019, Campus @cadehoward32
Howard is a rim-protecting big man who runs the floor exceptionally well, finishes around the basket and is capable of blocking shots. He does a good job diving to the basket and finding open spots, making himself available for his guard and is a good finisher around the bucket, showing a soft touch.
Devon Koehn, 6’8, PF/C, 2019, Maize @Devonkoehn__
An active and agile big man, Koehn is a big man capable of running the floor, blocking shots and brings a high level of intensity to the floor. He is putting together a strong season, averaging 12.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game while shooting nearly 70 percent from the field, which includes 11 3-pointers and a 52-percent clip from distance.
Kael Kordonowy, 6’6, PF, 2019, Maize South @KaelKordonowy
Kordonowy is putting together a monster senior season as he is impacting games at both ends of the floor, showing the ability to score in the paint, haul in tough rebounds and block shots at the defensive end of the floor. Although he is listed at 6’6, Kordonowy has a long, rangy frame, a lot of bounce in his step and holds his ground as a defender in the paint. He is averaging 17.9 ponts, 13.6 rebounds and 3.4 blocked shots per game while shooting 61 percent from the field.
Damarius Peterson, 6’7, PF, 2019, Newton @FearTheDucks17
Also a football standout, Peterson brings a rare blend of strength, power and athleticism to the court. He runs the court exceptionally well, finishes around the basket and has some skill, able to handle the ball, pass and can step out to the perimeter and knock down an occasional outside shot.
