1. Darrien Jackson, PG, 2017, Blue Valley Northwest
Smooth guard with high level athleticism. Can get to the bucket, shoot from the outside and handle the ball. Has multiple Division I offers , including Kansas State, Tulsa, UTEP and Illinois State.
2. DeMarco Smith, 6’2, 2017, Washington
Smooth game, is probably at his best getting into the paint and finishing tough chances. Has good size and length, plays bigger than his listed height. Has signed to play at UMKC.
3. Jett Canfield, 5’11, 2018, Topeka Hayden
Wonderful passer, really sees the floor well and finds a way to make plays. Is craft at getting all the way to the bucket and finishing plays. He currently holds an offer from Washburn and has heard from several Ivy League schools.
4. Leiland Lewis, 5’9, 2017, St. Thomas Aquinas
Not very big, but really finds a way to get it done. Is terrific at getting all the way to the bucket and finishing tough chances, and is a terrific passer. Has elite quickness, making him tough to contain. Has drawn some interest from Northwest Missouri State, but does not yet have any offers.
5. Tyler Geiman, 6’1, 2017, Blue Valley
Holds offers from DII schools Washburn Univeristy and Northwest Missouri State University can score with the best of them and has also shown the ability to be a leader for his team.
6. Keilon Hunter, 5’10, 2017, Blue Valley North
Missed the summer grassroots circuit due to injury, but is back at full strength this winter. Can do it all at the PG position. Is a terrific athlete and doubles as a football standout in the fall.
7. AJ Pleasant, 5’9, 2017, Blue Valley Northwest
Really like Pleasant’s game, he is the consummate point guard with terrific leadership qualities and a pass first, pass second attitude. He is capable of putting the ball in the basket and is impossible to take the ball from late in a game.
8. Trey Bown, 5’10, 2017, Shawnee Heights
One of the top point guards in the Topeka area, Brown has already committed to play his college ball at NCAA Division II Missouri Western in St. Joseph, Mo.
9. Danny Bradley, 6’1, 2017, Shawnee Mission North
Bradley is taking the high school hoops scene by storm this season after playing behind Michael and Marcus Weathers as an underclassman. He is capable of doing a little bit of everything at the point guard position. Is a superb ball handler and passer and is capable of scoring the ball as well.
10. Trevor Hudgins, 5’10, 2017, Manhattan
Easily our biggest riser since we released our rankings. Hudgins teamed with Pembroke Hill (Mo.) 2017 Curtis Lewis to form a brilliant backcourt combo for MoKan Select this past summer and coaches we have talked to recently rave about his potential. Many believe he has Division I potential.
