Davion Bradford, 6’11, PF/C, 2020, CBC (Mo.)
Christian Braun, 6’4, SG, 2018, Blue Valley Northwest (Kan.)
One of the top players in Kansas’ 2019 class, Braun is a standout perimeter shooter with an improving all-around skill set. He has good size and length for a 2 guard and currently holds offers from Loyola and Missouri State.
Parker Braun, 6’8, PF, 2018, Blue Valley Northwest (Kan.)
One of the state’s premier big men prospects, Braun is still coming into his own and is coming off a strong summer competing for MoKan Elite. He has some bounce in his game, is a good shot blocker and has a developing perimeter jumper.
Devin Drew, 6’4, PF, 2018, Raytown (Mo.)
A football standout, Drew brings a tough, no-nonsense attitude to the court and is among the better rebounders in the Kansas City area as he uses his size and strength well.
Mason Fair, 6’5, C, 2018, Raytown (Mo.)
Like Drew, Fair is also a football standout and uses his wide frame and size well. He has terrific hands, catches everything, and has a soft touch around the basket. Fair has also shown good footwork in the post and is a skilled player.
Elijah Farr, 6’7, PF, 2018, Lee’s Summit North (Mo.)
Farr has terrific size and a well-rounded skill set. Despite being listed at 6’7 and having a football frame, Farr is equally comfortable on the perimeter as he is in the paint, able to shoot the 3 and handle the ball.
Javaunte Hawkins, 5’10, PG, 2018, Lee’s Summit North (Mo.)
One of the better all-around point guards in the KC area, Hawkins has largely flown under the radar throughout his high school career, but he’s a player, able to handle the ball and create off the bounce and can get to the basket.
Logan Jenkins, 6’2, SG, 2018, Lee’s Summit North (Mo.)
Jenkins is a solid, all-around guard with good size and a good feel for the game. Plays under control, can shoot from the outside and is an improving all-around performer.
Caleb Love, 6’4, SG, 2020, CBC (Mo.)
One of the state’s premier 2020 guards, Love is a smooth shooting guard who can handle the ball and gets to the bucket with ease. He picked up his first offer fro SIU Edwardsville in August
Mason Taylor, 6’4, G, 2018, Grandview (Mo.)
Taylor recently committed to Air Force and might have surprised some by becoming a Division I player, but we considered Taylor an underrated player all along. He is a skilled guard with good size and athleticism and has a smooth game.
Siler Tschirhart 6’9, PF, 2019, Blue Valley (Kan.)
One of the better young post players in Kansas, Tschirhart is a tough, physical post player with good size and good touch around the basket.
Sam Ward, 6’2, PG, 2018, Blue Valley Northwest
Ward is a smotth point guard with some shake and bake in his game as well the ability to dial it up from distance. Ward has a smooth perimeter jumper and can get hot in a hurry.
