Matt Haefner Matt Haefner 6'7" | SF Lafayette | 2023 State MO (Lafayette): The athletic 6’7″ 2023 forward controlled the action in the game I watched him. He used his athleticism to crash the offensive boards and get tip-ins and put backs on a regular basis. He was able to attack the basket and score on downhill drives in the lane and he could also pull up and knock down the 3-pointer. He is a tough matchup problem who is playing with a tremendous amount of confidence.
Clayton Ernst Clayton Ernst 6'8" | PF Jackson | 2023 State MO (Jackson): A 6’8″ 2024 forward who is a load to handle around the basket. He uses his big body to establish his position and he’s tough to move when he sets up shop in the post. Has a nice touch around the basket and he can use both hands and score on drop steps and reverse layups inside. He is also a solid offensive rebounder with a good defensive presence with his size.
Justin Goolsby Justin Goolsby 6'4" | SF Battle | 2023 State MO (Battle): A strong 6’4″ 2023 forward who poses matchup problems with his physical strength and solid skill set. He can play the power game around the basket with his 220-pounds and solid athleticism. He’s also very comfortable as a playmaker with the ball in his hands with his ability to play bully-ball on the drive and pull up for the jumper. He has a nice blend of physical power and finesse in his game.
Holden Souter Holden Souter 6'6" | PF Whitfield | 2024 State MO (Whitfield): A 6’6″ 2024 lefty forward who has a solid all-around game. He passes the ball very well to hit open cutters for easy layups. His offensive game is diverse as he can score on the jump hook in the lane or step out and hit the jumper off the catch.
David Tague (Duchesne): A 6’4″ 2024 forward who brings some very good athleticism to a Pioneers team that has a stable of excellent veteran guards. The lefty has good length and he is capable of making some explosive plays around the basket. He can score around the basket and he threw down some impressive dunks in the game that I watched on Friday night.
Ethan Wiley Ethan Wiley 6'5" | PF Battle | 2023 State MO (Battle): A 6’5″ 2023 power forward with a big body, which he uses well inside to be very physical in the low post. He is a very impressive rebounder who can hold his own position inside while also being able to get out of his area to corral boards. He has a meat-and-potatoes offensive game inside that is very effective. Just throw him the ball and he will make the strong drop step move to score.
