2025
Antonio Williams (St Joe Lafayette): A 6’2 2025 guard who has grown into a prime role for the Irish after the graduation of many good seniors from a Final Four team. The young lefty is an effective slasher who is very shifty with the ball. He can also hit the 3-pointer off the catch. He is also a good facilitator who can create for his teammates.
Aden Sallee (Kearney): A 6’6 2025 forward who is very skilled combo. He can really stretch the floor with his 3-point shooting. He can also attack off the dribble. His height and excellent perimeter skills make him a tough player to match with.
Harvey Sayon Harvey Sayon 6'3" | SG Kearney | 2025 State MO (Kearney): The 6’3 2025 guard brings lots of energy to every game he plays in. He has a motor that never stops. He is always looking to attack the paint. He also drained a couple of 3-pointers in the victory over Smithville. He also rebounds and plays defense with a lot of activity.
Max Rieger Max Rieger 6'1" | SG Summit Christian | 2025 State MO (Summit Christian): The 6’1 guard is a bucket plays with very good pace. He averaged more than 20 points a game in the tournament. He has a quick first step to get to the basket and he plays well off two feet in the lane. He will also make the open 3-pointer. He is also an aggressive on ball defender who will pick a pocket with his quick hands.

Carter Jeffries Carter Jeffries 6'4" | SF Summit Christian | 2026 State MO (Summit Christian): The 6’4 wing had a big night in the game I watched against Smithville with 24 points. He lit it up from long distance with five 3-pointers. He was coming off screens to shoot it and creating off the dribble with a step back. He was also getting to the middle area and elevating over smaller defenders.

Mike Thomas (Summit Christian): The 6’5 wing is one of the top freshmen in the state. He has excellent length and athleticism to impact the game defensively with blocked shots and deflections. He’s also a skilled ball handler and passer who can slash and hit perimeter shots. He’s a talented young prospect.
