Here are the seven shooting guards in the first edition of the Kansas 2023 Player Rankings:
6 Will Rost Will Rost 6'3" | SG Aquinas | 2023 State KS , Aquinas:
The son of coach John Rost and younger brother of former standout Joseph Rost, Will Rost Will Rost 6'3" | SG Aquinas | 2023 State KS is highly praised by coaches who know what he is capable of doing at the varsity level. The 6-foot-3 guard brings a ton of versatility and athleticism. He will be a good complement to junior guards Cooper Jackson Cooper Jackson 6'0" | PG Free State | 2022 State KS and Will Gavin Will Gavin 6'1" | CG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2022 State KS and senior Tank Young Tank Young 5'7" | CG Aquinas | 2021 State KS .
17 Britton Dutton Britton Dutton 6'0" | SG Argo Comm | 2023 State KS , Ellinwood:
One of the most accomplished freshmen in the state, Dutton stuffed the stat sheet from day one. He averaged 17.9 points per game, one of the leading freshmen scorers in the state. The 6-foot-1 guard earned honorable mention 2A. He is an athletic and versatile scorer who can shoot from distance and produce in the open floor.
28 Eli Shetlar Eli Shetlar 6'4" | SG Andover | 2023 State KS , Andover:
A top-notch shooter, Shetler showed off his range at events this summer. The 6-foot-2 sophomore is athletic and willing to work inside as well. He can handle the ball all over the court and produce on the drive. But on the perimeter is where he’s elite. Shetler looks to team with senior guards Jack Johnson Jack Johnson 6'2" | CG Andover | 2021 State KS and Kaleb Gaddis Kaleb Gaddis 6'1" | PG Andover | 2021 State KS this season.
33 Brian Perry Jr Brian Perry Jr 6'3" | SG Andover Central | 2023 State KS , Andover Central:
One of the top athletes at the summer events, Perry played a supporting role on the Oz Elite 2023 club that brought some national recruits to Kansas events. He plays the game with abandon, yet he makes smart plays and is under control at top speed. Though just 6-foot-2, his dunks are impressive. But he’s more than just an athlete. He has the skills to shoot, handle the ball and get it to the right person.
35 Kaeden Bonner Kaeden Bonner 6'1" | SG Seaman | 2023 State KS , Seaman:
Bonner got a lot of experience for the Vikings last year, and he brings dangerous range every time he steps on the floor. He played up a year this summer for the Kansas Hoggs to build chemistry with some of his high school teammates. While known as a shooter, Bonner is working to round out his game and develop physically for the battles on the varsity level.
