Justin Boyer 6’6″ Carroll Gol1ve: An emerging combo forward from Father Tolton who has a chance to really break out during his junior season. He has good size and a versatile skill set, which was on display during the Hardwood Classic in Kansas City. He shoots the 3-pointer well and compliments it with a solid post game and the ability to attack the basket and get buckets at the rim. He is a high energy player who doesn’t take plays off.
Eric Callicut 6’5″ St. Louis Blazers: I really enjoyed watching this forward from Miller Career Academy play because he plays the game with his motor at full-tilt boogie. He is a tireless worker on the offensive boards and he will run the court on transition to score on rim-runs. He can get you buckets in the post, but he also has a very reliable touch from 15 feet off the catch.
Connor Turnbull Connor Turnbull 6'9" | PF Ft. Zumwalt North | 2022 State MO 6’9″ Brad Beal Elite: The young forward has made tremendous strides in the past year where he started the season on the junior varsity and ended up playing a vital role of a district championship team. He was impressive during the two sessions of the Brad Beal Elite Combine in August. He has good height and length with the ability to stretch the defense with his 3-point shooting. He also has a nice touch around the basket.
Austin Vick Austin Vick 6'8" | PF Westminster | 2022 State MO 6’8″ Gateway-Knights: The big-bodied forward really emerged as a Stretch 5 with his ability to knock down shots from 3-point range. He broke open a couple of games with his perimeter shooting in July. He has soft hands and some good moves inside so he can also eat in the low post. The more assertive he is, the better he plays.
Andrew Young 6’7″ Arsenal Hoops: A long and slender combo forward from Marquette who is still developing, but is on the verge of becoming an excellent prospect. He is very skilled with good footwork and a nice touch in the post, but also with the ability to handle the ball and make plays on the perimeter. He is a strong rebounder who can utilize his length on the defensive end. As he continues to get stronger physically, he will become an even bigger factor.
