Roster
Keshon Gilbert 6’2″ Durango: The 2021 UNLV commit is a talented pass-first point guard who plays with a lot of pace. He is an excellent facilitator who keeps his teammates involved, but he is also an elite finisher when it is time to get and get buckets. He is very fast with the ball in his hands.
Mike Florian 6’10″ St. Louis Christian Academy: An athletic 2021 big who is a developmental offensive player, but he excels on the defensive side with his rebounding and shot blocking. He has good length and timing to be a very effective rim protector.
Karter Koenig Karter Koenig 6'6" | PF Westran | 2021 State MO 6’6’ Normandy: The ultra-athletic 2021 small forward had a breakthrough season in 2020 and he is still on the rise. He has good ball handling skills and he loves to go coast to coast on the dribble to make a play. He averaged 17 points and nearly 10 rebounds a game. His overall offensive game is still a work in progress, but his upside is massive. He already has a Division I offer from Louisiana-Monroe.
Jaden Jones 6’7″ St. Louis Christian: A tremendous 2021 wing prospect who has already committed to Rutgers of the Big Ten Conference. He has three-level scoring ability with an excellent stroke from 3-point range. He has good length and solid moves off the dribble.
KL Lee 6’6″ Fort Zumwalt North: A talented 2021 wing who started to come into his own last season. His strength is shooting the deep ball as he made 64 3-pointers this past season. He is a very good catch and shoot threat who has continued to improve on his ability to create off the dribble. He averaged 16 points a game in leading the Panthers to a Class 5 district championship.
Nick Kern 6’6″ Vashon: A slashing 2021 wing player who has the ability to score in a variety of ways. He has a nice pull up jumper to compliment his attacking drives to the basket. He has a strong post game and loves to get out into transition. He is an excellent defensive player who takes up the challenge. Projected to be a mid to high major prospect.
Mayean Mann 6’9″ St. Louis Christian: An athletic 2021 Stretch 4 who can really shoot the ball from 3-point range. He is the ideal pick-and-pop big who can also knock down treys in transition with his ability to run the floor. He is a solid defender who can defend the pick-and-roll and he will protect the rim with his length.
Jordan Nesbitt Jordan Nesbitt 6'6" | SF St. Louis Christian | 2021 State #93 Nation MO 6’5″ St. Louis Christian: The high-major prospects is an elite scoring threat who can attack the basket and post up with his size and create his own shot off the dribble. His mid-range game is money and he makes enough 3-pointers to keep defenders honest. He is also a solid rebounder. He averaged 25 points a game and put up some big numbers in the rugged Grind Session. He has already received offers from Illinois, Saint Louis, Seton Hall, New Mexico and Ole Miss.
Josh Robinson 6’9″ Cardinal Ritter: A physical 2021 post player who was injured much of his junior year, but came back late to play a role for a talented team that won a state championship. He is a strong offensive rebounder and a nice finisher around the basket with power dunks. He has a Division I offer from Louisiana-Monroe.
