Devon Bolton, 6-foot guard, United Basketball, 2024, Shawnee Mission Northwest HS:
Bolton was a scoring machine for United Basketball last summer. He slithers through the lane and gets to the goal, and his ball handling talent is impressive. He held his own against older opponents, leading to the impression he can cut it on the varsity level as a sophomore.
Zaxton King, 6-foot-1 guard, MoKan EYBL, 2024, Lawrence HS:
No way anyone steps in and fills the hole left by Zeke Mayo. But the Lions will be looking for playmakers, and King might just be ready to step in and make an impact. He showed a lot of ability and the physical talent to handle point or off-guard duties. He played a little varsity last year, so he knows what to expect.
Rayvelle Leak, 5-foot-8 guard, Wichita Magic, 2024, Wichita East HS:
The Aces graduated a ton last year. There might be an opportunity for a blazing point guard who brings the intensity at the defensive end. Leak terrorizes opposing ball handlers and creates havoc. He can make plays at the offensive end too, including a solid shot from the perimeter.
Josiah Polynice Josiah Polynice 5'11" | PG Olathe South | 2024 State KS , 6-foot guard, KC Spurs Silver, 2024, Olathe South HS (pictured):
Polynice was one of the best point men in 2024 summer action. He’s physical and has a mature approach to the point guard position. He runs the show and gets the ball to shooters, and knows that breaking down a defender creates mismatches. Olathe South may be ready to employ this well-rounded and mature guard this season,
