Kaason Thomas Kaason Thomas 5'11" | CG Campus | 2024 State KS – In the lost to heights, there’s no doubt in anyone mind that Kaason did all he could to continue his season. Heights made it extremely tough for him and he made some tough acrobatic shots in the paint. Finishing with 20+ points I’m excited to see the impact he will make at the college level. He showed his quickness, explosiveness and shot making ability.
Andrell Burton Andrell Burton 6'4" | SG Campus | 2024 State #213 Nation KS – Andrell as we all know is a pure athlete. He can run and jump with the best of them. Getting chase down blocked shots, finishing above the rim almost throwing the ball in, his athleticism is second to none and will translate very well to Drake University with his ability to play uptempo.
TJ Williams TJ Williams 6'5" | SG Wichita Heights | 2024 State #176 Nation KS – TJ, the shocker signee seems to be getting very familiar with his new court next year dominating both ends of the floor. He’s showing everyone he can defend, handles the ball well, you know about his jumping ability but is effort right now is through the rough. Williams is playing through contact and showing elite toughness.
Amalachi Wilkins Amalachi Wilkins 6'8" | C Wichita Heights | 2025 State KS – Wilkins is being the ultimate paint protector. You can’t go in the paint and not have to see Amalachi. He’s a smart defender, he doesn’t jump at everything, he make sure he’s the second jumper and still blocks shots consistently.
Chase Robinson Chase Robinson 6'4" | PF Wichita Heights | 2025 State KS – Chase finished with 25 points, probably the biggest surprise for people with how much he’s staring in his role. Chase has been consistent from summer basketball to playoff state basketball. He had the task of guarding Andrell meanwhile having an offensive to do list to be a threat on the other end and didn’t disappoint on either end.
