Antonio Starks-Fewell Antonio Starks-Fewell 6'2" | SG Springfield Central | 2024 State MO
The 6’2 guard is a known commodity, however, he has a few things going for him moving forward. First, he reclassified into 2025 and will attend Willard moving forward. Being a 2025 will help his recruitment going into grassroots. At Willard he will be their top player and the results of this opportunity could be massive.
Quenton Parker Quenton Parker 6'5" | SG STEAM Academy | 2024 State MO
Parker will be playing for one of the best teams in the state at Cardinal Ritter. He’s an explosive athlete at 6’5 who has a great set shot from three. Bouncy wings who can shoot are at a premium. He’s a breakout candidate because he’ll be playing tough competition and has a lot of potential that can turn into further production.
Alex Wineholt Alex Wineholt 6'6" | PF Orchard Farm | 2024 State MO
Wineholt is a solid prospect who can shoot at has size. He’s a 6’6 lefty that rebounds well and spaces the floor at a high level. There’s a place for him at the next level and he’s coming off a strong summer. It’s easy to see him taking the next step in his development.
Brady Davidson Brady Davidson 6'6" | SF Rock Bridge | 2025 State MO
Davidson had a great finish to last season in districts. The 6’5 forward can do everything on the floor and sometimes gets outshined as a basketball player because of how good he is as a quarterback. He’ll be the best player on Rock Bridge this season and can make a statement. He’s very talented and one of the best two-sport guys in the state.
Jahidi White Jr Jahidi White Jr 6'7" | PF Chaminade | 2026 State MO .
White didn’t get to play last season and is a key piece of the Chaminade core. His size alone will help them win games and he has earned some college offers as of late. Few players have his size and strength in 2026. An exciting prospect to watch moving forward.
