T.J. Crockett 6’1″ University City: A very skilled combo guard who has already given a commitment to Lindenwood University (St. Charles). Crockett is a talented scorer who gets buckets in a variety of ways. His go to move is the step-back fade-way jumper from the mid range area. He also has a strong body that gets him to the basket through contact. Crockett can also knock down 3-pointers as well.
Dominic Davis 6’4″ Lindbergh: A talented combo forward who can be a match-up problem with his versatile skills. He is at his best on the drive where he uses his strong body to take opposing bigs off the dribble. He is also an excellent finisher around the basket. Davis is developing a nice mid-range jumper to compliment his ability to drive.
John Yeager 6’4″ Lutheran South: A solid combo forward who has the habit of always being in the right place at the right time on the floor. On his high school team, he is an prime scoring threat in the low post. During the summer, he got to expand his game to the perimeter where he handled the ball well and scored on the drive. Very productive player.
Ryan Lacefield 6’0″ Lindbergh: It was good to see Ryan back on the grassroots circuit again this summer after missing last summer with a knee injury. He is a tough competitor who handles the ball well and can knock down 3-point shooter. He will go out and challenge you on defense with his strong physical body.
Luke Thorburg 6’8″ Tower Grove: A long, slender post player who has continued to develop into a factor. His length and athleticism come in handy on the defensive end as he is an active shot blocker. He also gets his share of offensive rebounds when he’s able to get a good run from the free throw line.
Nathan Wilson 6’6″ Hazelwood East: An athletic post player who plays with a lot of energy, especially on the offensive glass. He finishes well around the basket and works the baseline area quite well.
Robyion Hughes 5’8″ Ritenour: A diminutive point guard who can be tough to handle with his speed, quickness and overall skill set. He has the ability to beat defenders with dribble penetration, but he is also an excellent 3-point shooter, especially in transition. He really excels in a fast-tempo game where he can score and distribute the ball at high rate.
