Missouri Mavericks Silver Premiere
Jacob Meinershagen 6’2″ West County: A very resourceful offensive player who has many different ways to score. I like the way he moves without the basketball and works off screens. He is a good perimeter shooter and he can get buckets off the drives and hard cuts to the basket.
Jake Neal 6’3″ Otterville: Excellent wing player who knows how to get buckets. Neal scored 56 points in a high school game last season. Has a quick first step to the basket, can pull up to make mid-range jumpers and has a nice stroke from 3-point range. Has recruiting interest from a number of schools.
Tavon DiPalma 6’2″ Waynesville: Solid lefty combo guard who has good athleticism. Likes to play in an up tempo game and is at his best offensively when he is slashing to the basket.
Steven Brandt 6’3″ Fatima: A real scrapper who plays with high energy and produces results with constant motion and effort. He goes to the basket strong to get buckets and hustles for offensive rebounds.
Missouri Mavericks Premiere Gold
Eli Dyer 6’5″ Higginsville: A solid low post player who works hard around the basket and gets good results. He post up strong and finishes well around the rim. He doesn’t mind mixing it up inside, especially when it comes to rebounding.
Dylan Keller 6’1″ Scott City: Talented small-school guard who has tremendous shooting range from 3-point territory. Has the ability to go on big shooting binges when he is on his game. He also does a big share of the ball handling and playmaking.
Missouri Mavericks Premiere Black
Jackson Golighty 6’6″ Maryville: A long, slender Stretch 4 who can really shoot it from long distance. He could bust zone defenses and make 3-pointers off the pick and pop. He’s pretty good on the dribble as well.
Makenzie Fessler 6’3″ Marceline: A very effective post player who can really score from inside of 15 feet. His jump hook is a potent weapon and he could really make the 15 footer from the high post with great consistency.
Jacob Powelson 6’2″ North Andrew (2018): A nice lefty combo guard with good size and the ability to attack the basket. Handles the ball well and plays well through contact to score on drives. He also moves well without the ball.
