Karter Kekec Karter Kekec 6'0" | PG North County | 2021 State MO 6’0″ Gateway-Knights 17U: A talented 2021 guard from North County who is an excellent two-way player. He can get into the lane and get you tough buckets in addition to his mid-range game and a solid 3-point stroke. He is also a very energetic on ball defender.
Sterling Desha 6’4″ JC Jays 17U (Pictured): A talented 2021 wing from Jefferson City who is one of the top prospects in Mid-Missouri. He has good size and athletic ability, which includes excellent range from 3-point territory. He is also a smooth ball handler who is very fluid in his movements. He is poised for a big senior year for the Jays in 2021.
Caleb Maassen Caleb Maassen 6'4" | SF Linn | 2021 State MO 6’4″ Missouri Basketball Club 17U: An impressive 2022 combo forward from Linn who has a very effective skill set. I like his spin move in the lane which is very effective on the move. His post moves are very solid as are his passing skills. He plays very under control.
Joseph Hardimon Joseph Hardimon 6'0" | CG Poplar Bluff | 2021 State MO 6’0″ Victory Ministry 17U: A 2021 guard from Poplar Bluff who plays much bigger than his actual size. He is a very creative scorer on the drive who loves the action in the lane. He’s ready for a big senior year after putting injuries behind him.
Devin Tomlinson 6’6″ Team KC 17U: A 2021 forward from Blue Springs South who has a solid body with a finesse game to go with it. He plays the Stretch 4 position well with his 3-point shooting prowess. He is also a good low post defender with his strength.
