He is good at stepping away from opponents as he catches the ball giving him a little more space to get a shot off. There’s a lot of potential to his game.
Christian Bowen-Webb, 6’2, G, 2022, Bishop Miege

A player with a high ceiling and the potential to make plays inside and out.
Julian Gallegos, G, 2022, Bishop Miege
He has good length and size for a perimeter defensive player and he is comfortable playing against physical and speedy opponents.

Xavier Hall, 6’2, G, 2022, Bishop Miege
Another sophomore guard for Bishop Miege who brings speed and efficiency to the floor.

Jinwoo Kim, 6’2, G, 2022, Blue Valley Southwest
A scrappy player on both ends of the floor. He has good length and plays good team ball.
