The Vianney shooting guard came out on fire scoring 13 points in the first four minutes of their game against Lemont.&nbsp; He is a plus three point shooter that pours them in at a high clip.&nbsp; Creative with the ball in his hands getting to his spots to pull up for 15-18 foot pull ups along with getting all the way to the rack for layups.&nbsp; Despite the scoring barrage he showed solid secondary playmaking feel as well as he went for 37 points (7-10 3PT), 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.&nbsp; The SIU commit will provide offense for the MVC program!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1419857' first='Aaron' last='Rowe'] (Father Tolton)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First time seeing the Mizzou commit in a while and wow was he impressive.&nbsp; The slick handling guard had the ball on a string all game against John Burroughs.&nbsp; He was pouring in mid-range jumpers over and over.&nbsp; Loved the handles and his ability to get wherever he wanted on the floor.&nbsp; Body control and finishing at the rim.&nbsp; High level passer as well that made sound decisions with the ball on the move off live dribbles going for 18 points (8-16 FG), 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1422771' first='Exavier' last='Wilson'] (Father Tolton)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson a highly coveted uncommitted guard out of the state of Missouri.&nbsp; He is a smooth lead guard with creative handles being able to get in the paint for acrobatic finishes, scoop shots, and runners.&nbsp; Also can really pour them in from mid-range.&nbsp; Liked his activity on the defensive end along with being a solid passer.&nbsp; He went for 18 points (8-21 FG), 7 rebounds, 3 dimes, and 4 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552480' first='Trey' last='Williams'] (Vashon)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is one of Missouri's top senior guards and headed to Missouri State next season.&nbsp; He is known for his long distance shooting and despite struggling through most of the game when he needed to hit them the combo guard came up big draining a pair of clutch threes down the stretch.&nbsp; Good rebounding game out of the guard.&nbsp; He had 11 points (4-12 FG) and 6 rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1557386' first='Dehrio' last='McCaskill'] (Vashon)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCaskill is making a name for himself as a senior with his high flying dunks.&nbsp; The SIU-Edwardsville commit threw down some nasty dunks in this game including some explosive takes for jams off the bounce.&nbsp; He had 13 points and 2 dimes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1422817' first='Terron' last='Garrett'] (Vashon)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garrett is an interesting prospect as he has all the physical tools to play at the mid-major level.&nbsp; Transferred over from CBC for his senior campaign.&nbsp; Consistency from game in to game out is the key for Garrett to take that next step.&nbsp; Thought he played well against Quincy as the broad shouldered and athletic wing is a game changer in transition when he gets those shoulders squared toward the rim.&nbsp; Mixed in a turnaround jumper and a three.&nbsp; Would like to see him get a little more air under the shot at times, but he has good mechanics.&nbsp; Plus athlete who can impact on the defensive end.&nbsp; Went for 11 points (5-9 FG) in the win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1557398' first='Carl' last='Whitehead Jr'] (Webster Groves)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whitehead is a nice third option for the Webster Groves attack.&nbsp; The well built wing slashes it with explosion and hit a three for a top of the key three.&nbsp; Like how he moved the ball as a connector on the perimeter as well going for 5 points and 4 assists.&nbsp; Good small college guy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1425357' first='Blake' last='Pingeton'] (Father Tolton)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shooters with size are always valued.&nbsp; That is what Pigeton brings to the table as he is a shooter with a quick release&nbsp; from distance hitting both that he took en route to 14 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2427990' first='Owen' last='Walther'] (John Burroughs)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Walther is another sharp shooter to track in the senior class.&nbsp; He was 5-14 from the field and three as all of his shots came from distance.&nbsp; Best off the catch as a spot up threat who had 15 points along with 4 dimes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2544909' first='Max' last='Steinbach'] (John Burroughs)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Steinbach is a smaller guard that brought a ton of grit to his team.&nbsp; Liked the quickness, sweeping layups, and great passing instincts out of this small college sleeper who had 4 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 dimes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
