Midwest Crossroads Showcase Preview for Missouri

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Midwest Crossroads Showcase is a specialized event for college coaches to watch some of the best teams from Missouri and Illinois. Each year the event has grown and gained popularity. Plenty of Missouri's best are going to be in action. Follow below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CBC has a tough slate of games vs. Bradley Bourbonnais, Peoria Manual, Kankakee, and Quincy. These games provide top matchups for their best prospects. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1422817' first='Terron' last='Garrett']</strong> is their best player and the 6'5 wing will see plenty of top players at his position. 6'7 Dietrich Richardson, 6'6 Lincoln Williams, and 6'4 Dom Clay are all some of the best wings in Illinois. This is a great opportunity for Garrett to prove himself with coaches in attendance.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1425715"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667c53b586c8d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Michalski is a 6'10 center that has gained a lot of buzz as of late. He enters the event fresh of offers from Cal State Fullerton and Rockhurst (D2). He's a player that coaches will be sure to take note of. A strong post with emerging skills. His matchup with Nick Allen of Bradley Bourbonnais will be a battle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chaminade is always a top team that coaches will want to see. They have a number of guards that can play at the Division 1 or Division 2 level. In the frontcourt there's size, skill, and depth. This is a must-see team for coaches in attendance.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the biggest games of the week will be Chaminade vs. Quincy on Friday at 12pm. This game will feature elite guard play from both sides, emerging wing talent, and some size that compete around the basket. This is also a rematch from last season's Norm Stewart Classic. Both are some of the best programs in their state.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>De Smet is a Saturday/Sunday team that gives coaches a number of options at the guard spot in 25' and 26'.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1850530"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667c53b586d08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas has earned Division 1 offers from Northern Illinois and SEMO in recent weeks. The 6'3 point guard is an elite passer and will be someone that coaches should check out. He has been a real engine for this team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>MICDS brings plenty of hungry prospects to the floor in 2026. They are set to play Rockford Auburn, Normal, Belleville West, and Romeoville. The game vs. Belleville West really stands out. Both teams have young prospects that are looking to make a name for themselves. As a result, it should be a fun contest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vashon and Webster Groves are two schools that should be closely monitored by coaches at the mid-to-high major level. Their guards will be given top matchups all weekend long. The following are of note…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2334870' first='Scottie' last='Adkinson'], Trey Williams, [player_tooltip player_id='1424400' first='Christian' last='Williams'], [player_tooltip player_id='1557386' first='Dehrio' last='McCaskill'], and Jimmy McKinney.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lastly, Vianney's senior leader is continuing to build buzz from a recruitment standpoint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1419873"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667c53b586d6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walsh has been on a tear in the month of June. He's one of the very best shooters in the region. He has taken unofficial visits to Saint Louis and SIU this week. The senior sharpshooter is without question one of the best players in attendance. His recruitment should start to take shape in the next 2-3 weeks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
