TJ Williams, 6’4 Guard, Wichita Heights, Run GMC: An absolute athletic monster on the perimeter, Williams just picked up an offer from SMU and will see a bunch more big time offers coming in. Can get off the floor in a hurry and get up while finishing at an efficient clip up at the rim. A developing and solid jumper off the bounce and can face up guys on the wing and rise up and knock shots down.
Carter Coombs, 5’11 Point Guard, Great Bend, SSA Elite Black: A dynamic point guard who has a smooth shot from distance and the ability to get extremely hot from deep. Has the ability to get down hill, attack gaps, and be a really good playmaker for others setting them up for great shots. He will have a new high school home at Great Bend next season where he will be able to make an immediate impact.
Kale Staats, 6’1 Guard, St Thomas Aquinas, Run GMC: A defensive juggernaut especially on the ball on really solid offensive players. Staats is also a developing offensive player who has the ability to be a well rounded guard. Plays extremely hard, got thrown into the fire early at Aquinas, and will be a top guard in this group moving forward.
Zaxton King, 6’1 Guard, Lawrence, MoKan EYBL: Will be a big time player for Lawrence next season with the departure of some top tier talent. Playing on a loaded MoKan roster, King is going to improve and be ready after this summer. Has a really solid frame and build and the tools to be a big time player in the back court.
Josiah Polynice, 6′ Guard, Olathe South, KC Spurs Silver: Polynice could be a real contributor for Olathe South next season and put together a solid spring for the Spurs. He can be physical with the ball in his hands on drives and while on defense guarding as well. Limited mistakes on the offensive end and causes mistakes on the defensive end makes Polynice an intriguing guard.
