Landon Wagler Landon Wagler 6'8" | PF Shawne Mission Northwest | 2022 State KS , 6’5 F, MoKan 2022 (Pictured): The versatile inside out forward had it going against Pure Prep this weekend up in the Kings of the Court tournament in Iowa. He dropped 26 points in the ball game, and much like in this game, has shot the ball extremely well in the spring. Wagler is becoming a big time stretch/wing prospect in this 2022 group, and although he had a huge scoring outburst in this game, is effective across the stat sheet game after game.
Zak Svendsen, 6’1 Guard, MoKan 2022: The Blue Valley guard who had a solid high school season being a role guy, put together a 19 point effort over the weekend and recorded multiple steals in the contest. He is a rock solid guard that plays the game the right way, moves the ball well, rebounds, and defends. This scoring punch he provided is a nice added bonus to his game.
Luc Devore, 6’5, MoKan 2022: Devore is showing this spring he is poised to continue the prized front court play of State Champion Blue Valley North next season with he departure of their starting front court. Devore has had a really solid spring and over the weekend had a 16 point effort with multiple rebounds, blocked shots, and game altering plays. Devore gives you a little bit of everything in the front court, and with an expanded role for MoKan this year, he has shown he has the chops to carry it over into the winter.
Ryan Roberson, 6’5 Wing, Nebraska Supreme16 UAA: The Blue Valley Northwest Wing was phenomenal this weekend up in Lincoln. His upside is through the charts with his ability to run lanes, get out into passing lanes, play up at the rim, and use his length and athleticism to change games. Roberson is ultra efficient highlighted by his 7 for 8 shooting game this weekend in which he finished with 14 points and added 3 steals in the process. Look out for him.
Jack Ratigan Jack Ratigan 6'5" | SF Blue Valley West | 2022 State KS , 6’5 F, Team KC: Ratigan has played pretty solid this spring on the grassroots circuit and he continued to do so in Lincoln this weekend. A multi faceted forward who is effective in all areas of the post and when he is faced up can get ton a ton of moves off the bounce and has a nice little jumper. A willing and really solid passer, Ratigan is primed to be an intriguing stretch forward prospect for his class. As the guard and perimeter skills grow which he has shown so far, so will his ceiling. Great player.
