The athletic, aggressive two-way guard helped power Life Prep to its best season in recent memory and should be able to make an immediate impact physically at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2338886' first='Parker' last='Hoffman'] | 6'8" Forward | Marquette</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoffman has picked up another offer this summer, this time from Fisher College. The skilled big remains one of the more under-the-radar prospects in Missouri. His frame and ability to score over either shoulder on the block, combined with his ability to face up and stretch the floor from the perimeter, make him an intriguing prospect moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2334909' first='Will' last='Powers'] | 6'5" Guard | Westminster Christian</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Powers is at it again, as the offers continue to pour in for the legitimate 6-foot-5 guard who looks more and more like a plug-and-play option at the next level. Over the last week alone, he has picked up offers from Wyoming, Bradley and Utah State, adding to an already impressive list of opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2403915' first='Camden' last='Evjen'] | 6'7" Forward | St. Charles West</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Evjen has picked up an offer from Missouri Baptist. The stretch forward showcased just how well he can shoot the ball and fill it up at 3SSB Palmetto Road. Against quality competition, he caught fire and carried that momentum from game to game, heating up in a hurry while leading his squad offensively with his ability to stretch the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2564264' first='Mamadou' last='Barry'] | 7'0" Center | Vianney</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top true big prospects in the region, Barry has added yet another offer to his growing list, this time from Southern Illinois. Combined with recent offers from Missouri and Southeast Missouri, he's quickly becoming one of the hottest recruiting names to emerge from Missouri.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Sabastian Bolden | 6'3" Guard | Clayton</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the bigger names in Missouri, Bolden continues to grow into his frame while showing he can score the ball from all three levels at an efficient and impressive rate. He has now picked up an offer from Lindenwood, as more regional programs are starting to take notice of the extremely high-upside guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2927405' first='Drew' last='Hutchinson'] | 6'7" Forward | Andover</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hutchinson picks up his first offer from Arkansas Fort Smith. The rising forward brings a strong interior presence, showing the ability to finish with power around the rim while rebounding at a high level. I could definitely see more Division II programs getting involved before everything is said and done.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Kemper Johnson | 6'2" Guard | Olathe South</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson, a Kansas City area product, has picked up his first offer from Ottawa.
