Devon Barshow Devon Barshow 6'6" | SG McCluer | 2020 State MO 6’6″ Illinois Prep: A slender wing player who is slated to do a year of prep school.

Sekou Gassama 6’10″ DeSmet: A long and athletic big who excels in the defensive end with his length and shot blocking. He runs the court like a gazelle to swoop in for transition dunks. He has solid moves in the post and can step out and hit short jumpers.
Yaya Keita Yaya Keita 6'9" | PF Desmet | 2021 State #210 Nation MO 6’9″ DeSmet: An athletic big who plays with a high motor that does not stop.

Breven Mcmullen Breven Mcmullen 6'5" | SF Park Hills Central | 2020 State MO 6’5″ Link Year: An excellent all-around offensive player who will do a year of prep school.

Brock Wakefield Brock Wakefield 6'4" | SG South Iron | 2021 State MO 6’4″ South Iron: A small school standouts who can get buckets at all three levels.
