Top Missouri Prospects
Houston Johnson 6’5″ Willard: The athletic power forward put on an impressive display of power dunking around the basket. Johnson dunked with both both hands on post moves and drives to the basket. He was a consistent force around the basket, which earned him a spot in the Top 40 All-Star Game.
Xavier Womack 6’6″ Cardinal Ritter: The long and lanky wing was very productive on the offensive end with his slashing moves to the basket. He was active on the offensive boards and he really got out on transition where he finished plays with authority.
Sam Timmons 6’4″ Lamar: It was first time seeing Timmons play and I was very impressed with his solid set of skills. He was strong in going to the basket in taking the contact and finishing plays. He also did a nice job of scoring around the basket on rebounds and solid cuts to the basket.
Jake Salisbury 6’7″ Grain Valley: A solid big-bodied forward who displayed the ability to step out and knock down 3-pointers off the catch. He was also strong around the with his ability to catch the ball and score in traffic.
Top Regional and National Prospects
Angelo Allegri 6’7″ St. Thomas Aquinas (KS): A talented combo forward with a good body and a versatile skill set. He is a very good offensive performer off the dribble with his skills and physical strength. He was also strong enough to go into the post and produce plenty of buckets. He was selected to the Top 20 All-Star Game.
Glen Roy Rolle 6’7″ Vision Prep (KY): He was a dominant force throughout the event with his strength, athleticism and no-nonsense game that was brutally effective. He overpowered defenders in the post and got to the basket with physical moves and finished with authority. There’s not a lot of flash to his game, but a ton of productivity.
