Colston Ames
Colston Ames
Ames is not a big guy, but he’s tough and is a playmaker. He draws fouls attacking the defense. He pressures the opposition on the bounce and can get to the goal. Ames is fundamental and plays smart.
Mattias Geering Mattias Geering 5'11" | PG Shawnee Mission West | 2026 KS

Geering is a small guard but has a big game, making tough plays and never backing down. He attacks the lane and gets where he wants on the bounce, playing through contact and setting up shooters. He has a nice handle and confidence under on-ball pressure.
Tristan Johnson
Tristan Johnson
Despite not standing very tall, Johnson has all the tricks of a natural scorer. He can handle the ball and make some creative plays. He can get to a Euro step in the paint, drawing fouls or creating space for runners and floaters. He shows a nice release and is dangerous from deep.
Mick is a slender guard who snakes his way through traffic, knifing through defenses with the ball to make plays. He’s fundamentally sound, taking care of the ball and making smart plays. He shows a nice midrange jumper. He’s a shooter who can’t be left alone on the perimeter.
Brandon Serna
Brandon Serna
Serna is a powerful athlete who uses his physique well on the court. He’s a heady defender who helps off on opposing ball handlers and digs down on posts. He’s also not afraid to stand in and draw a charge. He’s effective on the drive, particularly lofting a nice floater.
Hudson Weikal Hudson Weikal 5'10" | PG Olathe East | 2026 State KS
Hudson Weikal Hudson Weikal 5'10" | PG Olathe East | 2026 State KS
Weikal is a fine shooter, but he’s more than just a shooter. He is a heady guard/wing who can get shots at all three levels, particularly by knifing into the paint with the dribble. He uses pump fakes and body lean to get over a variety of shots. But best of all, Weikal shoots it from deep.
