Jacob Gilyard 5’10” KC Run GMC (Barstow): One of the mainstays of the tournament’s 17U championship team. Gilyard is the consummate point guard that does what is needed for his team to win games. When it’s time to facilitate, he makes sure that his talented teammates get the ball in the best position to do their business. When it time to score, he can get buckets in transition, on open 3-pointers and running the pick and roll. He already has several Division I offers. Look for that to increase.
Isaiah Wilson 6’0″ Team Rush (Father Tolton): The highlight of Wilson’s weekend was getting his first offer from Division II Truman State. He showed a good balance of running the show and making teammates better with his ability to create his own offense off the dribble. He has an excellent 3-point stroke and he has the ability to create open room to get his shots off. He will become a dominant scorer in his senior year at Tolton.
Brandon McKissic 6’2″ St. Louis Eagles (SLUH): A combo guard with good size and a high motor, especially when it comes to attacking the basket off the dribble. He is always at his best when getting to the rack. He also showed the ability to knock down pull up jumpers after attacking at full speed. He even made a couple of 3-pointers. His recruiting stock will rise even more with the continued improvement of his perimeter stroke. Already has offers from DePaul, Murray State, UMKC and Missouri State.
Javarcus Word 5’8″ SEMO Bulls (New Madrid Central): This is a high energy kid that really knows how to make a team go. As always, he was fast and furious and he was fearless with it. His quickness enables him to get in the lane for layups and floaters, plus he continues to improve his 3-point shot. That will make him even more dangerous to guard. His small stature does not bother him in the least.
Dylan Keller 5’11” Missouri Mavericks Gold (Scott City): A small school guard who has the ability to knock down 3-pointers from long distance. Very impressed with his ability to shoot the ball. Handles the ball and could play point guard, but his ability to shoot enables a coach to play him off the ball and still be effective on offense.
