<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at the members of Team 9 from the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association Small College Showcase in Columbia.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2082892,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3905.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3905.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2082892" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1160827' first='Nelson' last='Shinkle'] (Jefferson City): The 6'8 2024 forward is bigger and stronger and more assertive around the basket. He can seal defenders and score on the drop step and he also has a nice finesse game as well. He was also stepping out and hitting 3-pointers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2082906,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3910.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3910.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2082906" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1579715' first='TJ' last='Hill'] (Parkview): The 6'2 2024 combo guard was capable of dominating smaller guards with his physical strength and 195-pound frame. He could score in the low post and play at his own pace on the perimeter. He was also hitting the long ball. The game slows down for him quite well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2082911,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3907.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3907.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2082911" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1424424' first='Sawyer' last='Huff'] (South Iron): The 6'2 2025 guard stayed in attack mode with his athleticism and tenacity. He has been shooting the 3-pointer well in the events I've watched him, which compliments his aggressive drive game. He was also stopping and elevating from the mid range area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2082920,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3908.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3908.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2082920" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Landon Linkhart (Odessa): A 2025 guard who was very solid offensively with good fundamentals. He made good use of ball fakes to free himself up for the drive. He had a nice one dribble pull jumper that was very effective.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2082929,"width":214,"height":160,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3906.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3906.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2082929" width="214" height="160" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1160826' first='Jacob' last='Lafferty'] (Sparta): The 6'6 2024 forward was one of the top inside performers at the camp. He was always good to throw down an entertaining dunk or two in each game. He has expanded his game to knocking down 3-pointers and taking defenders off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*****<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2082944,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3903.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3903.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2082944" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2313101' first='Garrett' last='Winslow'] (Greenwood): A 6'4 2024 forward who plays a very physical game inside. He's strong and he plays with a high motor. He was a very active rebounder at both ends of the court. I was impressed with how he looked to block out somebody every time the shot went up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2082961,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3909.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3909.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2082961" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2092251' first='Garrett' last='Hines'] (Nixa): The 6'4 2024 wing was very effective from all three levels offensively. He reads defenses well and moves to the open spots to knock down 3-pointers. He got into the lane well and he did an effective job playing off two feet. His jump stop was good and he was hitting the short pull up jumpers. Very smooth.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
