Dehrio McCaskill Dehrio McCaskill 6'4" | SG Vashon | 2025 State MO (Springfield Central): A 6’3″ combo guard who is one of the most athletic guards in the class. He plays with a high motor and he brings a lot of excitement with his slashing style of play and explosiveness. He is constantly getting into the lane on slithering drives and he can finish at a variety of angles. He can also go over the top and dunk on a defender’s head. He had a solid freshman season at Central and followed up with a nice summer playing with the Yanders Law squad.
Sheek Pearson Sheek Pearson 6'9" | PF John Burroughs | 2026 State MO (John Burroughs): A 6’7″ forward who transferred in from Iowa and has a chance to be an impact player for the Bombers this season. We first saw him in action at the Hoops for Life Tournament at Webster Groves in June and was impressed with his length and skill level for his size. He runs the court well and he has a soft touch around the basket. He can handle the ball when he needs to and he uses his length and timing to be an effective shot blocker in the lane.
Evan Simon Evan Simon 6'1" | PG Kirkwood | 2025 State MO (Kirkwood): A 6’0″ point guard who transferred from Kirkwood from DeSmet. He is a highly skilled guard with good fundamentals and a little flash in his game. He is excellent shooting range from 3-point territory and he is very good at creating his own shot. He has smooth handles and a variety of escape moves to get off his own shot. He had an excellent summer playing 16U ball with Arsenal Hoops. In July, he play two years up with the 17U level and was very good at distributing the ball while still able to score when he needed to.
Tristan Wiggins (Sikeston): A 6’0″ point guard who should be one of the top young players in the SEMO area this season. He had a strong summer playing with the Team Ramey squad at both 15U and 16U. He is a physical player who uses his strength to play bully-ball on his way into the lane for easy layups and short jumpers. His handles are good and he gets where he wants to go. He is also an excellent defender who will sit down and move his feet with good intensity.
Tegan Curley Tegan Curley 6'7" | SF Marshfield | 2025 State MO (Marshfield): A 6’6″ combo forward with good size and a versatile skill set. He can play the Stretch 4 role very well with his ability to knock down the open 3-pointer. He also has good length and athleticism as he run the court very well and can get buckets in the transition game. He can operate well around the basket with his footwork, good mobility and a nice shooting touch inside.
Carl Whitehead Jr Carl Whitehead Jr 6'1" | SG Webster Groves | 2025 State MO (Webster Groves): A 5’11” combo guard who is very strong physically and he uses his power to get into the lane and finish through traffic and contact. He has solid handles and the ability to get where he wants to go on the court. He had a strong summer for Team Ramey 15Us and he should step into a role for the Statesmen as they try to defend their Class 5 state championship.
Vincent Frie (Park Hill): A 6’3″ shooting guard from the Kansas City area who has good size and a nice shooting stroke from 3-point range. He has solid handles and he plays a very under control game that is fluid in his movements. He can also create his shot off the dribble with a nice pull up jumper from the mid range area.
