<p>Prep Hooos Missouri takes a look at a group of Class of 2026 players who caught our attention at the GoL1VE Fall League in Columbia.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2207940' first='Donovan' last='Parris'] (Rock Bridge): A 6'2" guard who is primed for a huge senior season for the Bruins. He is a smooth offensive player who was getting buckets at all three levels and doing it in a very efficient manner. He has tight handles and he was breaking down defenders to beat them on the drive or create space to get off his perimeter jumpers. He can also light it up from 3-point range as well.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2346151' first='Will' last='Priest'] (Rock Bridge): A 6'7" forward who is one of the top shooters in the Mid-Missouri area and he had that sweet shooting stroke working from 3-point range. He can shoot it from well beyond the 3-point line with relative ease. He also did a good job of going inside to get buckets in the low post to take advantage of his size. That element of his game makes him even tougher to guard.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2966442' first='Taelen' last='Kemp'] (Battle): A 5'9" point guard with good quickness and excellent passing ability. His court vision was on display as he was dropping multiple dimes, including a couple of impressive no-look jobs. He worked the pick-and-roll well as he knocked down a pair of 3-pointers over the top of the ball screen. He was also disruptive with his on-ball defensive pressure. </p>

<p>Kyren Hamilton (Battle): A 5'10" point guard who really impressed me with his quickness and aggressive style of play. He was attacking the basket with tenacity with his dribble penetration. He made multiple trips to the free throw line as he knows how to draw contact in the lane. He was also a very good on-ball defender who was picking up opposing ball handlers in the backcourt and making them work.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2544046' first='Caden' last='Lewis'] (Battle): A 6'5" forward who has a solid body and good athletic ability. He was consistently getting to the offensive boards and he had a very nice tip in with his opposite hand while hanging in the air. He sets solid screens and he did a nice job of running the court and getting layups in transition.</p>

<p>Courtland Miller (Father Tolton): A 6'4" power forward who is a solid worker who plays the game in a meat-and-potatoes fashion. He is strong and athletic and he rebounds the ball very well. He sets excellent screens on the pick-and-roll and he made some strong catches on the roll down and threw down some impressive dunks. He's a good teammate who is happy to do those tough foundational things to help his team.</p>

<p>Raymond Tatum (Battle): A 6'0" shooting guard who plays the game at a nice easy pace. His is not rushed and it works for him on the offensive end. He is a good perimeter shooter who knocked down a couple of pull up 3-pointers off the dribble. He looks like an ideal sixth man who can come off the bench and provide some instant offense with his scoring.</p>

<p>Keilan Dorman (Hallsville): A 6'2" guard who was one of the best that I watched at breaking down defenders off the dribble with a variety of escape moves. His crossover move was nice and he also had a very effective hesi move that got him into the lane to score on a layup or a short pull up jumper.</p>
