July Eyes: 2018 Prospects (bigs)
Several players across the state area coming off a solid spring showing and a big performance during evaluation period in July could lead to a players first offer, or even more offers on the table.
Yor Anei, 6’10, 2018, Sunrise Christian
Travel Team: Team Rush
Big man is coming off a solid spring session with Team Rush. Is a long, athletic big man who has added to his game in the post this past season. He recently took a visit to Creighton along with Lee’s Summit West wing Christian Bishop.
Parker Braun, 6’8, 2018, Blue Valley Northwest
Travel Team: MoKan Elite
He blew up out of nowhere this past season with Blue Valley Northwest after mostly playing for the junior varsity as a sophomore and has shown the toughness and explosiveness around the basket that Division I coaches are looking for. Braun has the ability to develop into a stretch 4 type with time as he flashes a smooth looking perimeter jumper for a big man.
Keenan Fitzmorris, 6’10, 2018, St. James Academy
Travel Team: KC Run GMC
There aren’t many big men across the state that are more highly sought after than Fitzmorris, who is exceptionally long, runs the floor well and does a good job of defending the paint. He uses both hands exceptionally well and has a jump hook that he uses with really good range and depth. He has a nice outside shooting touch and is a well rounded player who doesn’t look to do too much.
Hunter Schneiders, 6’7, 2018, Shawnee Mission South
Travel Team: MoKan Select
Kid has really come out of nowhere to impress this June at various team camps. He mostly played behind a talented frontline a year ago at Shawnee Mission South, but has shined at KA-MO Shootout and Kansas Jayhawk Team Camp. He has a big frame, long arms for a wide-body type and has a soft hands and a terrific feel for playing in the post. He impresses with his ability to be strong with the ball, flashing the fundamentals of keeping it high under pressure and finding open men off rebounds and kickouts.
