Isaiah Cull, 6’4 , Olathe NW, Mokan 17U: A two way wing who had a great June session for the new staff at Olathe NW. Has great hands and instincts on defense and moves really well to guard the ball. Big time player in transition and is an efficient finisher on the move. Can start breaks off the bounce or be an effective wing runner. Cull is also a pretty solid spot 3 point shooter off the catch. Good rebounder as well especially on defensive end.
Pierce Ross Pierce Ross 6'3" | SG Shawnee Mission West | 2023 State KS , 6’3, Shawnee Mission NW, Marcus Denmon 2023: An electric wing player who could put his scoring prowess on display this July. Ross really solidified his role this June as a big time scorer for West and his intensity and swagger on the floor translates to success. Can get going from the perimeter in a variety of shot styles and gets from point A to point B off the bounce with efficiency and a solid handle.
Jaxson Brandl Jaxson Brandl 6'2" | CG Greeley County | 2023 State KS , 6’2, Tribune Greely County, 2023: A strong wing/guard player who does nothing overly flashy, but is super effective and efficient in his game. Attacks off the catch with a purpose, covers a lot of ground off the dribble, and can score it from the paint, in the mid range, and from catch and shoot 3s. Brandl also crashes the boards hard and plays with a high IQ. Really nifty passer and hits cutters and open teammates to give them great looks after drawing the defense to him.
Collins Elumogo Collins Elumogo 6'4" | SF Manhattan Highschool | 2023 KS , 6’4, Manhattan High, SSA Elite 2023 White:, 2023: A high energy and athletic wing that has some ability to play the four as well as needed. Really quick first step off the dribble to get defenders on his hip and is strong enough to finish with contact. Can knock down an open jumper but does a lot of his damage on the offensive end as a slasher, cutter, and offensive rebounder. Has the physical tools to guard a variety of positions and skill types on the floor.
Wade Meyer Wade Meyer 6'2" | SG Hutchinson | 2023 State KS , 6’2, Buhler, Oz Elite 2023, 2023 (Pictured): A top notch knockdown three point shooter especially when he ca get his feet set. A true zone buster and is a corner specialist off drive and kick opportunities. Played with multiple grassroots teams but has produced with them and provides a shooting punch to wherever he ends up. Really tough competitor as well and is a pretty solid wing defender both on and off the ball. Has solid length to him and is a wing player to watch with breakout potential this July.
