Jadis Jones Jadis Jones 6'5" | SF New Madrid Central | 2024 State #248 Nation MO 6’5 New Madrid Central: The athletic 2024 standout was the best player in the building on the first day. His strength and explosiveness enabled him to dominate in the post and on the offensive boards. He was also taking the ball coast to coast off the dribble and knocking down jumpers as the Eagles won all four of its games.

6’8 Cape Girardeau Central: A 2023 prospect with the body of a power forward a d the skill set of a perimeter player. He was very assertive in the low post and was able to get buckets. And he was very comfortable handling the ball and hitting perimeter jumpers.
Kyle Pock Kyle Pock 6'7" | SF Bolivar | 2023 State #286 Nation MO 6’6 Bolivar: The 2023 standout showcased his multi-tasking skills as he got buckets from all three levels while also being the team’s primary ball handler and facilitator. He delivered a few laser passes while also throwing down an impressive alley-oop dunk.
Jordan Andrews Jordan Andrews 6'0" | CG Thayer | 2022 State MO 6’0 Thayer: It was my first time seeing this small school bucket getter in person and I was very impressed with his talent. He has deep shooting range and he can really create off the dribble. He is constantly putting pressure on defenders as his motor never stops.
Kennard Davis Kennard Davis 6'5" | PG Vashon | 2023 MO 6’5 Vashon: The 2023 small forward is the lone returning starter from the Wolverines Class 4 state championship team. He can really shoot it from distance. He hit three consecutive Corner 3s in one game. He’s big and strong with good handles, which makes him hard to handle when he wants to get downhill.

6’4 Strafford: A long and lanky wing player who displayed excellent shooting range and a good overall feel for the game. He can go in the post and score against smaller guards to take advantage of his size mismatch while still being able to create his own shot on the perimeter.

5’9 Mexico: This 2024 point guard was impressive throughout the day. Every time I turned to his court, he was either knocking down a high arching 3-pointer of knifing his way through traffic to score in the lane. I really liked his confidence and moxie.
