Big School Guards Added to the 2025 Class Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Standout play on the club circuit and a strong start to the season pushed us to add these five big school guards to the 2025 Class Rankings:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#44 - [player_tooltip player_id='1939374' first='Brady' last='Collar'], 5-foot-10 guard, 2025, Olathe West:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've been admiring Collar's attacking, high-energy game for a couple summers now. He's a fearless handler of the ball who creates offense and makes plays on the defensive end. He has been on the radar for a while, but earning MVP of the Norm Stewart Classic to start the season earned him a lot of new notoriety. For a point guard, he racks up rebounds and turns boards and steals into instant offense. He can score in a variety of ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#46 - [player_tooltip player_id='1512900' first='Mikey' last='Williams'], 6-foot-1 guard, 2025, Highland Park:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams has been a widely respected guard for a couple of summers, long before he became a focal point of his high school team. He showed on the club scene a versatility and high IQ that allows him to affect the game in a lot of ways. He makes good decisions and plays with maturity. He uses his size to bully smaller guards, and his handle to get to the right spot to pass or shoot. After waiting his turn in a very talented program, Williams is now a leader of a team that has been on fire so far this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#47 - [player_tooltip player_id='2321589' first='Des' last='Hinson'], 6-foot guard, 2025, Blue Valley North:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After gaining some experience on the fourth-place finisher in 6A as a sophomore, Hinson stepped in for a team that had a lot to replace. Hinson can really light it up from deep. He's hitting 45% thus far in his junior year. He is settling into his role, helping with ball handling and distribution while knowing the team needs production.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#64 - [player_tooltip player_id='2321600' first='Sherron' last='Woodberry'], 6-foot-2 shooting guard, 2025, Olathe West:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For a team that seems to have a different star each night, Woodberry is an important playmaker. The Owls have been really good, getting off to a 7-0 start before suffering their first loss. He is a lights-out shooter who has broken out for huge games a few times, including a 9 three-point game as a sophomore. The long lefty is a weapon for a team that appears to have big things ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#80 - [player_tooltip player_id='2321612' first='Jackson' last='Austin'], 6-foot guard, 2025 Junction City:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another shooter for the list. Austin hunts shots for an up-tempo Blue Jay team that is one of 6A's best so far this season. He has the handle and athleticism to do a lot of other things offensively and he is a scrappy defender too. But he really makes his impact on the catch and shoot. He's averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds and shooting 34% from deep so far this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
