Seth Soden 6’5″ Strafford: The long 2022 wing displayed his versatility as he could play virtually any position on the floor. He handled the ball well and can facilitate offense with his passing and playmaking. He had some nice takes to the basket with his long stride that covers a lot of territory. He can also shoot the 3-pointer as well.
Trae Oetting Trae Oetting 5'10" | CG Springfield Kickapoo | 2023 State MO 6’0″ Kickapoo: The 2023 combo guard had a very productive afternoon as she shot the 3-pointer with excellent accuracy. He could shoot the ball off the catch and create the perimeter jumper off the dribble with equal effectiveness. He is solidly built and he could handle himself on the dribble against pressure.
AK Rael AK Rael 6'5" | SG Strafford | 2023 State MO 6’4″ Strafford: A 2023 wing who has excellent length and was very smooth and fluid in all of his movements. Although he is tall and lean, he can get low on the dribble when he breaks defenders down. He uses his size to score inside against smaller players as well as rebound. He can also hit mid-range jumpers and 3-pointers as well.
Jake Lafferty 6’4″ Sparta: A young 2024 power forward who was one of the most active players that I watched at the event. He was living around the rim as he attacked the boards and could get out of his area to rebound. He has a solid body to go along with his explosive hops. He also blocked his share of shots.
Cole Hughes Cole Hughes 6'2" | SG Central | 2022 State MO 6’3″ Central: A 2022 wing who has normally has a reliable shot from 3-point range. On this day, he showed other aspects of his game that were also effective. He did a excellent job of attacking the basket and he also moved well without the basketball to get himself open for layups.
Lucas Paulsen 5’10″ Southwest: A 2023 point guard who was flying around the court throughout the afternoon. He was working hard on the defensive end as he was one of the few players in the camp who was constantly picking up opposing ball handlers the full court. He was fearless in his drives to the basket in the land of the trees.
Bradley Henry Bradley Henry 6'3" | SG Mountain Grove | 2024 State MO 6’2” Mountain Grove: A physical 2024 forward who used his body and his strength to his advantage as he was able to get buckets in tight traffic. He didn’t mind the contact as he was able to play through it. He also had a couple of nice coast to coast rushes for layups.
