He has size and athleticism, but what really stood out with him was his relentless motor. He goes hard every time and he doesn't seem to take any possessions off. He skill set is also pretty solid as he is very good at getting the ball in the open court and attacking the basket. He finished well at a variety of angles around the basket. I look forward to seeing much more of him in the near future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2890564,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3691.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3691.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2890564" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2891320' first='Max' last='Trillo'] (Lee's Summit): A 6'5" forward who has good length and displayed some nice potential in the game that I watched him. He stepped out and knocked down a 3-pointer off the catch, which immediately got my attention. He is a capable ball handler with good mobility to go along with his height.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*********<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2890579,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3364.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3364.jpeg?w=583" alt="" class="wp-image-2890579" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cadence McClure (Lee's Summit West): A 6'3" small forward who is a young player who showed some promise. He has a solid body and an impressive skill set on the perimeter. He had one play where he grabbed the rebound and went coast to coast for a layup. He can use his strength to get into the lane and he can finish with a nice runner off the backboard. He can be quite a matchup problem.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2890582,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3449.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3449.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2890582" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2920329' first='Jakobe' last='Hunter'] (Capital City): A 6'3" forward who has a solid build and is also very agile with good skill level. His footwork around the basket was impressive as he was able to score in the lane. He can also turn and face and attack the basket off the dribble. He maneuvered well in tight spaces to get a bucket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2920284' first='Ridge' last='Janes'] (DeSmet): A 6'6" forward who missed the first two days of the event as he was with the football team as he is a Division I level tight end with multiple scholarship offers already. He joined the team later in the event and provided some strength and muscle in the low post. He rebounds and screens well and he can also score inside with a nice touch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2890584,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3730.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3730.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2890584" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Samuel Moenkhoff (St Paul Lutheran/Concordia): A 6'4" forward who has good length and is a rangy athlete. The young lefty was very effective when he was attacking on the drive. When he got to his dominant left hand, he scored on a nice takes off the backboard. He was also very good on the offensive boards with his quick jump around the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
