Victory Naboya 6’8″ Greenwood (Boo Williams): Athletic combo forward who plays with a big motor at both ends. Strong around the basket with dunks, rebounds and blocked shots and skilled enough to attack the basket off the dribble. He runs the court well in transition.
Joseph Hardimon Joseph Hardimon 6'0" | CG Poplar Bluff | 2021 State MO 6’0″ Poplar Bluff (Victory Ministry): He was one of the state’s top guards in the class two seasons ago before being felled by an injury. Looking to get back on the radar with his dynamic game where he can attack the basket while knocking down 3-pointers.
Matt Thompson Matt Thompson 6'2" | SG Sedalia - Smith Cotton | 2021 State MO 6’4″ Chaminade (SW IL Jets): A talented wing player who has been playing a complimentary role on a loaded high school team during his career. He’s ready to step forward with his athleticism, fundamentals and high basketball IQ.
Athuai Deng 6’2 North Kansas City (Team KC): The talented point guard missed last summer’s activity due to injury, so he’s ready to display his talents, which include scoring and passing. He has good size and length and can impact the game at both ends, plus he rebounds well from the guard position.
Colin Parker 6’7″ Montgomery County (Missouri Elite); Versatile combo forward who works well in the post with his soft shooting touch, but also excels on the perimeter with his playmaking ability with the ball and his perimeter shooting skills.
Najee Williams Najee Williams 6'3" | SG Truman | 2021 State MO 6’3 Truman (Marcus Denmon Elite): An explosive wing player who sat out last season after transferring schools. He is a stelllar defender who excels in the transition game with his dunking. His skill level is also emerging.
Demarion Shanklin Demarion Shanklin 6'2" | SG Jennings | 2021 State MO 6’2″ Jennings (Carroll GoL1ve): Impressive shooting guard who has the handles and creativity to get his own offense off the bounce. His 3-point shooting range also gives him three-level scoring capability.
