Here are some of the top shooters we watched this spring (in alphabetical order):
Cole Dillon
Cole Dillon
Dillon is a sniper with length to get shots off. This guy is an athlete who stands out in a lot of areas. But he’s a fearless shooter with unlimited range and a quick trigger. He got his feet wet as a freshman on the Newton varsity, and he took that experience to the spring, where he ran with an up-tempo, athletic group that attacked relentlessly. Dillon kept up with the pace, running to open spots and stretching defenses with his range.
Hofer is fast and athletic, physical and tough. So he’s not just a shooter, but he stood out on a his club team this spring for his ability to get to spots on the wing and drop outside shots. He showed good shot selection and didn’t just launch shots, but he is always a threat.
Highlights
A big man who can really stretch a defense, Moddelmog is not afraid to shoot from several feet behind the arc. He’s big and physical, which helps him get guarded shots off. Moddelmog is a versatile player who could have been included on several superlatives list, but his shooting touch so stood out this spring, we’ll list him here.
Highlights
Perry (pictured) popped on the radar as a sophomore sniper for his school team. He had a great spring playing up with the talented Missouri 66ers. He stretched defenses and required constant attention because he is so dangerous from the arc. Perry is tall and sturdy to battle for position and to shoot over opponents.

A smart and crafty guard, Weikal hits midrange shots at a high rate off creative pump fakes and cuts without the ball. He has a nice stroke and accuracy from behind the arc. His range and movement to open spots create problems for opposing defenses.
