Tarris Reed Jr Tarris Reed Jr 6'10" | PF Link Academy | 2022 State #43 Nation MO . 6’10 MoKan Elite: The big fella has been a consistent force throughout the week with his scoring, rebounding and general dominance in the paint. He is commanding double teams and he passes well out of them. He has mixed up his low post moves well while also stepping out to hit the occasional jumper. The top 2022 prospect in the state, Reed is headed to Link Year Prep for his senior year.
Tavion Banks Tavion Banks 6'5" | PF Ruskin | 2021 State MO 6’6″ Brad Beal Elite: A former Ruskin High standout who is now at Minnesota Prep, Banks has been very productive with athleticism and tremendous energy that he brings with every possession. In a victory over Mac Irvin Fire, he had 15 points and 15 rebounds. He attacks the basket on the dribble and the boards with reckless abandon. When he enters the game, the tenor changes with his intensity and high motor.
Larry Hughes Jr. 6’5″ MoKan Elite: The shooting guard from CBC has had a solid showing so far in Augusta. He has done a good job shooting the basketball while playing a good floor game as well. He can really shoot it coming off the down screen and letting it fly from the head of the key. He has been passing the ball well and he’s had some very productive games on the boards as well with four or five rebounds.
Braxton Stacker Braxton Stacker 6'5" | SG Cardinal Ritter | 2022 State MO 6’5″ Brad Beal Elite: The athletic wing from Cardinal Ritter has played well and he’s earned his first Division I offer from Arkansas-Pine Bluff this week. He has been explosive and full of energy when he’s on the floor. He has provided some scoring with his slashing, but he’s contributed in all facets of the game. In a victory over Mac Irvin Fire on Thursday night, he had 13 points, four rebounds, seven assists and two steals.
