When it comes to slashing to the basket and finishing at the rim, he is one of the best in the state at doing it. He has the size and athleticism to get downhill and the ability to finish at a variety of angles with great concentration. He has a very good burst and a nice cross over move to drop off defenders on his way to the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3787973,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4765.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4765.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3787973" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3638336' first='Dominic' last='Keyes'] (St. Louis Patriots/Home School): The 6'10 2027 forward was the top frontcourt prospect in the camp. He controlled the action in the paint at both ends of the court. He made several nice baseline drives that led to impressive slam dunks. He also made multiple rim runs that led to either transition buckets or deep post position for early touches. He also grabbed offensive rebounds and kept the ball high to finish with good fundamentals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3787976,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4780.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4780.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3787976" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2569194' first='Bryce' last='Millien'] (Webster Groves): A 6'0 2027 combo guard who is a talented three-level offensive player. He was very unselfish on Sunday as he spread the ball around to keep his teammates involved in the action. He used his strength and quickness to get to the basket whenever he wanted. He could also dial it up from 3-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3787977,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4741.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4741.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3787977" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3784738' first='Porter' last='Franklin'] (Senath-Hornersville): A 5'11 2029 point guard from the SEMO area who impressed us with his excellent feel for the game. He is a confident ball handler who was dropping some nice dimes with his court vision. He made a couple of no look passes that were really nice. He also moved well without the ball and made some excellent cuts that led to layups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3787979,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4783.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4783.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3787979" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aiden Cruz (Mascoutah, IL): A 5'7 2027 point guard from Illinois who was a real catalyst with his speed and quickness. He was tremendous in the 3x3 games as he was lighting it up from 3-point range. Whether it was off the catch or off the dribble, the shot making was impressive. In the 5x5 games, he was pushing the ball with excellent pace while still hitting shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3787980,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4747.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4747.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3787980" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3762519' first='Brett' last='Bahadori'] (Rock Bridge): A 6'5 2029 forward from Mid Missouri who played strong and with an impressive motor. He was very effective at attacking the basket and scoring some tough buckets in the lane. He was also hitting the short jumper and grabbing offensive rebounds for putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3787985,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4777.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/IMG_4777.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3787985" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Xavier Daclama (Brentwood): A 5'11 2028 guard who is an impressive small school player.
