Ikenna Ezeogu 6’6″ Team YOBO: An active young power forward from Blue Springs who helped his team to the 16U championship with his spirited play around the basket. He is a tremendous rebounder who will get well out of area in his pursuit for boards. He is a strong finisher in the paint as he can score on a post up or on an aggressive take to the basket.
Aaron Ledgerwood 6’8″ Missouri Flight 17U: A physical back-to-the basket post player from Glendale who is very effective with his old-school game in the low post. He has good hands and finishing skills around the basket. He also displayed some excellent passing ability out of the post.
Justin Boyer 6’6″ Carroll Go-Live: A versatile combo forward from Father Tolton who is very skilled and played with a lot of energy. He can stretch the floor with his 3-point shooter, but can also attack the basket and finish strong at the rim. He has been a big stock riser during the past couple of weeks.
Monte Kemp 6’6″ Missouri Hawks: A solid combo forward from Lee’s Summit who was impressive with his high motor and versatile skill set. He is a very active jumper around the basket and he can also take off and go coast to coast after grabbing a rebound. When he’s playing with that kind of zeal, he makes a lot of things happen at both ends of the court.
Jameal Goines 6’4″ Carroll GoLive-Black: A blue-collar forward from DeSmet who is athletic and plays a no-nonsense game. He does most of his damage around the basket as he hits the boards hard on both ends and finishes well. He has a nice quick jump inside as he goes up against much taller players.
Gavin Davis Gavin Davis 6'4" | PF Willard | 2022 State MO 6’4″ Missouri Flight: A hard-working forward from Willard who puts in a solid effort to go along with his ability to score and rebound. He hangs around the basket and puts in his share of buckets, plus he can attack on the drive and finish through contact. He is very good at making those extra effort teams to help his team.
