#8 Taj Manning Taj Manning 6'6" | PF Bishop Miege | 2022 KS , 6’7 F, Bishop Miege, Run GMC (Correction from Michigan) (Pictured): One of the top forwards in KS is on our list now after being placed in the Michigan side of things. An athletically gifted player, Manning is tremendous moving without the ball, running the floor to the rim, and attacking with the ball. A near double double threat whenever he touches a basketball court, averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game during his junior campaign, winning the state 4A title with Miege.
#64 Jordan Fudge Jordan Fudge 6'8" | PF Frontenac | 2022 State KS , 6’9 F, Fronteac: The big man has earned a spot on our rankings after piecing together a really solid junior high school season. He is extremely active in and around the painted area on both sides of the floor. He is springy and can finish around the rim with quickness. Solid shot blocker and defender as well.
#65 Javan Buchanan Javan Buchanan 6'6" | PF Lafayette Jefferson | 2022 State IN , 6’5 Wing, Maize South: A win player with nice size and length on the perimeter and a developing game to go along with it. Averaged 13 points and 6 rebounds per game this season. He is a nice two way wing player as he can guard a ton of positions as well. A lot of potential with Buchanan, could have a huge summer and winter.
#67 Brayden Meseke Brayden Meseke 6'0" | CG Wabaunsee | 2022 State KS , 6’1 Guard, Wabaunsee, SSA Elite 2022 White: Helping his club to an historic run at a state title runner up season, Meseke has earned himself a spot on the rankings. An all out effort guy, he is a guard who can bring a bunch to the table with his minutes, lives in passing lanes, creates extra possessions, and is just all out active. His long ball continues to improve and get more consistent and his finishing with both hands remains top notch.
#88 Brady Deges Brady Deges 5'8" | PG South Gray | 2022 State KS , 5’9 Guard, South Gray: Scored 18 points in the 1A DI state semi finals that helped his club take an undefeated record into the title game. A guard with a proven winning track record who can score the ball at a really solid clip. Plays in tight windows well, a solid jump shop, and a gamer when it comes to stepping up in big moments.
