Isaac Haney 6’1″ Dora: A walking small-school bucket who averaged more than 25 points in leading Dora to a second-place finish in the Class 1 state tournament. He was also a grassroots standout for the Yanders Law 16U squad during the summer. He has three-level scoring ability with deep shooting range to boot. He is also very comfortable creating his own offense off the dribble to score in the mid-range or to get to the bucket. He has Division I offers from Cleveland State and Texas State.
Brock Wakefield 6’3″ South Iron: A long and lanky wing player who has been averaging 20 points a game during his first two years of varsity basketball. A Class 1 All-Stater, is a plus shooter from 3-point range with the ability to get buckets all at three levels. He has gotten physically stronger during the summer, which enables him to get to the basket and finish against contact. He can create shots off the dribble and knock down jumpers with great effectiveness.
Kaleb Wofford 6’2″ Nixa: A smooth shooting guard who plays an old-school type of game with his ability to play at his own tempo. He is long-range shooter who has the ability to move without the basketball and get to his open spots and let fly with a quick release. He is always under control and never rushed. He makes good use of the shot fake and can stop and pull up for the mid-range jumper and floater.
Cachao Gianquinto 6’3″ Battle: A good sized wing player who has been a starter on back-to-back Class 5 district championship teams. He was also a major player for Marcus Denmon Elite’s 16U team that went undefeated on the UA Rise Circuit. He is a solid ball handler who gets buckets with his ability to get to the basket with ease and score from anywhere within 17 feet from the basket. His physical strength is also a asset to go along with his height.
Aahmod Scarbrough 6’2″ Hazelwood Central: An athletic lefty who plays with a high-motor at both ends of the court. He is a dynamic, slashing guard who really excels in the transition game with his ability to attack the rim. He has really improved his ball handling and perimeter shooting during the summer. He can create his own shot off the dribble and when he is hitting 3-pointers, it takes his game to another level.
Jeremiah Walker 6’2″ DeSmet: A strong, athletic wing player who is one of the best in the state when it comes to slashing to the basket and getting buckets at the rim. He gets low on the dribble and has a variety of spins and escape moves in traffic to get where he wants to go. He finishes strong and gets a lot of And 1s for his efforts. He also moves well without the ball and will knock down the perimeter jumper to keep the defenders honest. He is very good at getting tough buckets.
Isaiah Williams 6’2″ Lutheran North: A high-scoring southpaw who was a major stock-riser during the summer after a tremendous summer with the Knights Basketball Academy 16U squad. His confidence level grew with each tournament as he continued to get buckets against high-level competition. He is a quick, slashing player who can score on layups, runners and short jumpers, but he also added a nice 3-point stroke to go along with it.
Joseph Hardimon 6’0″ Poplar Bluff: A strong-bodied guard who was making a big jump as a player until an injury cut short his regular season and summer activity. He was a solid ball handler and slashing guard as a freshman, but he was evolving into an all-around bucket-getter who can make open 3-pointers and create his own shot off the dribble as a sophomore. His physical strength enables him to handle the ball effectively through contact. He is ready to take over as the main player at Bluff after the graduation of his older brother Dominique Hardimon.
Eddie Simon 6’3″ Whitfield: A high energy wing player who plays hard at both ends of the floor. He is a strong rebounder who attacks the boards and goes after every loose ball that he can get his hands on. He is a very solid offensive player who is very good off the drive and he displayed some good jump shooting ability on the Elite Camp circuit. His skills and toughness should make for a very productive junior season.
Demarion Shanklin 6’2″ Jennings: A slick ball handling lefty who helped lead the Warriors to a Class 4 district championship a year ago. He is very smooth with the ball in his hands as he can attack the basket effectively going in either direction. His pull up jumper from the middle area is nice and he is a solid 3-point shooter. He will take on a bigger scoring load for the Warriors as a junior.
