5’10 Corde Brown | Capital City
Slashing combo guard who takes good driving angles and does a nice job of gathering off two feet and keeping his body under control as a finisher. Operates well in the pick and roll and likes to turn the corner and get into the paint where he draws help and hits the open man. Solid on ball defender who rebounds well for his size.
6’0 Malcolm Davis | Helias
One of the key pieces in the Crusaders special season, Malcolm is a knock down three point shooter. He is a must find in transition and has a quick catch and shoot trigger. Moves well without the ball to find open space for the kick out.
6’2 Tyson Franklin | Boonville
Athletic wing with intrigue as a “3 and D” prospect. Stalwart defensively with great hands, anticipation, and a nose for the ball that leads to steals in bulk. Plays well in the open floor as a transition finisher or chase down blocker. Catch and shoot three looks good.
6’0 Quinn Kusgen | Blair Oaks
Talented young guard who can play off the ball as a knock down shooter or facilitate the offense as a play-maker. He is a solid ball-handler with a knack for taking and making the clutch shot. He is primed to play a more prominent role for a talented Blair Oaks squad this winter.
6’2 Trevor Myers | California
Physical forward with a strong upper body. Gets out in transition well and finishes through contact. Sneaky athleticism and bounce. Capable of stretching the floor and knocking down the three when he has time to get into his shot. Rebounds well and can bang in the paint when needed.
5’10 Lee Verslues | Fatima
Solid point guard that gets it done on both ends. Very pesky on ball defender with quick hands. Good speed in the open floor off the bounce. Heads up passer that does a nice job keeping teammates involved. Outside shooting threat with deep range.
6’3 Tanner Lanes | Harrisburg
Lanky, lefty wing prospect who can really shoot it. Smooth stroke that stays consistent regardless of his range or if he is contested. Uses his length to his advantage to secure boards and alter shots around the basket. He is one to keep an eye on as he continues to fill out.
6’3 Veston Fearon | Richland
The measurable characteristics are all there for Veston who has a wiry, athletic frame with room to grow taller and stronger. He is a factor as a slasher in transition where he can explode and rock the rim and is very active on the glass and around the basket.
6’1 Coen Brown | Sacred Heart
Big time small school scorer who averaged nearly 25 points per game last season. Has shown three level capability as a scorer at a young age. Big time shooter. Crafty as a ball-handler and finisher around the basket.
6’3 Brock Lucas | St. Elizabeth
Brock has been a two year starter and a key piece on an excellent and veteran St. Elizabeth team and is primed to be the centerpiece in the coming years. A talented wing who can create and score it off the bounce or pull up and drill the three, look for his scoring output to increase drastically. Also a very good rebounder and capable defender at his position.
6’7 Gage Wilson Gage Wilson 6'8" | PF Northeast Cairo | 2022 State MO | NE Cairo
Traditional back to the basket forward that is strong going middle and finishing with a soft touch on his right hand jump hooks. Good timing and execution on his seals to gain positioning. Boxes out every possession, clearing space and securing the board. Very good low post defender who walls up and knows how to stay tall and utilize his length to block and alter shots.
