Cole Farrell 6’4″ Hazelwood Central: Cole is one of the most explosive players in the Class of 2021. He has elite level athleticism and will put on a dunk show every time you watch him play. His dunking ability draws you in so you can see how the rest of his game has developed. His handles are good and he can create his own shot with escape moves and an effective mid-range jumper with elevation. He has all of the physical tools to be a lock down defender on the wing. He already holds multiple Division I offers, including SEMO and Bowling Green.
Mario Fleming 6’3″ Cardinal Ritter: A powerful shooting guard who is just as effective in the low post as he is on the perimeter. He can bully-ball his way inside for buckets against smaller guards on drives and post-ups in the paint. He has developed tight handles and some pretty good escape moves to set up his mid-range jumper and get himself into the lane. He can also knock down an open 3-pointer. He returns as the leading scorer for Cardinal Ritter on a team that sprinted to a Class 3 state championship.
Matt Thompson Matt Thompson 6'2" | SG Sedalia - Smith Cotton | 2021 State MO 6’4″ Chaminade: A very athletic wing player with a good set of fundamentals. He has a very strong mid-range game with the handles and the ability to create the space to get off his jumper. He can also extend it out to the 3-point line as well. He can also get into the lane where he will seek the contact to try to get the And 1. He can be explosive in the open court and will throw down transition dunks. He does a good job on the offensive boards and will score on put-backs. He has attracted interest from a number of Division I schools.
Freddie Cooper Freddie Cooper 6'5" | SG SLUH | 2021 State MO 6’4″ SLUH: A talented “3 and D” wing player with explosive leaping ability, Cooper can impact the game at both ends of the court. He is a very solid threat from 3-point range to go along with his ability to attack the rim and finish with a tomahawk dunk. He is an enthusiastic defender who plays the passing lanes and revels in chase down blocks.
Devlin Tomlinson Devlin Tomlinson 6'6" | PF Blue Springs South | 2021 State MO 6’2″ Hazelwood Central: A very springy wing player who plays hard and can impact a game at both ends of the court. He puts in a strong effort on the defensive end with his ability to move his feet and play the passing lanes. He is a slashing threat who can slither his way into tight spaces for buckets and for offensive rebounds. He is an ideal complimentary player.
Jai Graham Jai Graham 6'5" | SF Hazelwood Central | 2021 State MO 6’4″ Hazelwood Central: A very solid combo forward who is physically strong with a good skill set. He has a nice turn and face game where he can sink the jumper or make good use of the pump fake to set up his drive to the basket. He can knock down the 3-pointer and crash the offensive boards effectively.
Marlon Owens Marlon Owens 5'9" | PG McCluer North | 2021 State MO 5’10″ McCluer North: A smaller point guard who is strong and plays with a lot of pace. He stays low on the dribble to get himself in the lane to score on tough takes. He has impressive court vision and he can deliver some nice dimes with both hands and while on the move.
