He's an explosive athlete who can rebound at a high level in addition to his potent offensive game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2496093,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/IMG_3055.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/IMG_3055.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2496093" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson Pitts (Prairie Home): A 6'5 2025 wing who led his team to the state quarterfinals. I saw him for the first time at the Higbee Shootout and he really showed out. The versatile lefty plays the point forward role as he excels as a scorer and facilitator. He drives it well and can shoot the 3-pointer. He plays for the Jeff City Elite during the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2024827,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/IMG_2618.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/IMG_2618.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2024827" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1424926' first='Xander' last='Salas'] (Green City): The 5'10 2025 point guard has been out of action this summer with a knee injury, but is expected to be at full health in the fall. He is a dynamic floor general who led the Gophers to a third-place finish in the state tournament. He's an excellent mid range jump shooter with good court vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1982593,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/IMG_2092.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/IMG_2092.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982593" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1424424' first='Sawyer' last='Huff'] (South Iron): The 6'3 2025 guard has been putting in work this summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2077051' first='Team' last='Ramey'] 17U on the EYCL circuit.

He's a very skilled big with good post moves and the ability to score with either hand. He's an excellent passer from the perimeter with 3-point shooting range. I like Big John.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2450865,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/IMG_2883.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/IMG_2883.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2450865" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>J.J White (Atlanta): A 6'0 combo guard who has very impressive shooting range. He looks comfortable taking and making shots from close to 30 feet. He's also very effective at attacking the basket which makes him a tough cover. He plays for the SSA Elite during the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2205728' first='Brennen' last='Meloy']: A 6'2 2027 point guard who earned All-Stste honors after an impressive freshman campaign. He's physically strong and he can get downhill to score on the drive while going left or right. He also has a nice shooting stroke from 3-point range. He plays for the SEMO United 15U squad </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
