Cardinal Ritter | 2024

MO
(Cardinal Ritter – 2024)
It wasn’t his biggest scoring game, but the go to player for Cardinal Ritter still scored 11 points despite his long ball not going down like it usually does. Most of his points game on mid-range jumpers and powerful drives to the rack. Shifty ball handler that can create on his own.
Trey Williams Trey Williams 6'0" | PG Loyola Academy | 2026 IL (Vashon – 2025)
Williams was a stud for Vashon. The junior point guard can flat out shoot the rock draining 3-6 from beyond the arc. Smooth and fluid release every single time. Also did a nice job of getting to the line in this game putting pressure on the rim. Sound passer that continues to grow as a playmaker and is a solid defender especially in their press. Impressive stat line of 23 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals.
Dehrio McCaskill Dehrio McCaskill 6'4" | SG Vashon | 2025 State MO (Vashon – 2025)
The athleticism of McCaskill popped off the floor to anyone that saw their game against Richwoods. Super athletic wing that was bouncy throwing down a big dunk off the glass. Quick to the offensive boards with his second jump and overall high pointed rebounds. Transition athlete that can impact on both ends. He had 12 points (5-10 FG), 6 rebounds, and 2 steals.
Nassir Binion Nassir Binion 6'4" | SG Vashon | 2024 State MO (Vashon – 2024)
Binnion was the second leading scorer for the V in their game at Highland. Senior wing that can score it making trips to the foul line on drives downhill, pounding the offensive glass, and getting out in transition. He had 15 points (6-10 FG) and 9 rebounds in the win.
Nicholas Randall Nicholas Randall 6'8" | PF Vashon | 2025 State #96 Nation MO (Vashon – 2025)
Randall is the highest ceiling prospect among the Vashon upperclassmen. The big man had a load on his hands going up against Sommerville. He shined in the 3rd quarter of this game with an emphatic swat, put back, three off the catch, then a massive dunk. The size and athleticism really stands out as a front court player. Randall had 9 points (4-11 FG), 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks.
Luke Walsh Luke Walsh 6'2" | SG Vianney | 2025 State #374 Nation MO (Vianney – 2025)
Walsh continues to post big numbers throughout his career for Vianney. The guard can really shoot it from the perimeter with a clean stroke hitting 3-6 from beyond the arc. We liked how he racked up the trips to the foul line where he was 11-12 and was excellent as a passer. Combo that can play on or off the ball. Rock solid guard that will play at the D1 level. He had 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Symon Ghai Symon Ghai 7'3" | C Vianney | 2026 State MO (Vianney – 2026)
Ghai is a super impressive young big man prospect. At 7’3” with an insane wingspan he has special physical gifts. On the first play he sealed and dunked like it was nothing. He has good mobility and moves well for his size. High level rebounder that was dominant on the glass against an undersized Whitney Young squad. Offensively he showed some skills knowing positioning and had touch around the basket on his short shots. Good free throw shooter as well going 4-4 from the line. Went for 20 points (8-10 FG) and 15 rebounds. Defensively he absolutely altered everything in the lane and can defend in space.
Eddie Smajic Eddie Smajic 6'5" | SF Vianney | 2026 State MO (Vianney – 2026)
Smajic is one of the better prospects in the Missouri 2026 class. His long ball wasn’t falling so the broad shouldered wing took it to the rack over and over on straight line takes either scoring or getting fouled. He had 16 points (4-14 FG) and 3 dimes.
Jahidi White Jr Jahidi White Jr 6'7" | PF Chaminade | 2026 State MO (Chaminade – 2026)
White is listed at 6’8” and has the wide body that made his dad a long time NBA vet. Physical low post player that had a couple sweet moves in the post including a fake one way going back the other for a right handed hook shot. Powerful finisher that has a nice spin and rebounds pretty well. Final line read 10 points (5-12 FG) and 7 rebounds.
Jacob Robinson Jacob Robinson 5'11" | PG Chaminade | 2025 State MO (Chaminade – 2025)
Robinson provided some scoring off the bench for Chaminade. Shifty handle and good mid-range shooter that can stretch to three on occasion from his lead guard spot. He had 13 points (6-11 FG).
