Stretch 4s
Gary Clark 6’7″ Cardinal Ritter: The athletic forward was one of the most impressive 3-point shooters at the John Burroughs event. He continues to stretch out his range to where it looks easy. He is still very effective inside with his pretty turnaround jumper in the lane. He is now getting on the radar of some LM Division I programs.
Lamontay Daugherty 6’7″ Mehlville: An all-around talent who has the ability to dominate stretches of games when he is going right. He has the tools to score inside and outside and create serious matchup problems for opposing defenses.
Armond Williams 6’8″ East St. Louis: The slender forward displayed his athleticism at Lindenwood as he ran the court well and blocked shots. He is very fluid in his movements and he stepped out to hit 3-pointers at the top of the key.
Ethan Worley 6’7″ Hillsboro: A very solid forward who was excellent on the first day at Lindenwood. He was very active as he ran the court and scored around the basket. He also displayed a very good shooting touch from 3-point range.

Davion Bradford 7’0″ Mehlville: The big fella had a productive weekend at Lindenwood with some very impressive power dunking around the basket. He has also developed a nice turnaround jumper from about 10 feet to compliment his post game. He has a tough move on the baseline with good footwork and power.
Elijah Bishop 6’6″ Soldan: One of the most impressive post players that I watched during the weekend, Bishop has all of the fundamentals of low post play down. He can post, catch and score on drop steps or turnaround jumpers over either shoulder. His big body helps him establish very good position inside.
Evan Schneider 6’6″ Ladue: The veteran post player had a couple of good performances at Lindenwood against East St. Louis and Francis Howell against some other good bigs. He is tough around the basket as a scorer, plus he passes well out of the post. He also knocked down a few corner 3-pointers off the catch.
Patrick Readye 6’7″ East St. Louis: The big-bodied power forward has a versatile skill set for a post player. He can do it work in the post where he can use his body and size to his advantage. He also has an excellent turn and face game from the mid-post area where he can unleash an excellent shooting touch that is very effective from 12 to 15 feet.
Aaron Molton 6’6″ Collinsville: A big, physical post player who moves well and takes up a lot of space in the post. The big lefty can move bodies with ease and get buckets in traffic. He sticks to what he does well which is to post up and put the ball in the basket, which I like.
Brandon Ellington 6’6″ Cardinal Ritter: An athletic post who is a very active rebounder on both ends. He is also very explosive around the basket where he can pop up and dunk in traffic without the benefit of a step. He also has a nice touch from the baseline on short jumpers.
Frazier Ott 6’8″ Chaminade: A very solid post player who uses his size well around the basket. His fundamentals are good with the catch and the finish. He also has a very reliable jump hook in the lane.
Corey Sparkman 6’5″ Lift for Life: An athletic post player who competes hard and plays with a lot of activity and he was very productive as John Burroughs. He was aggressive on the boards at both ends of the court and he was constantly getting out of his area to rebound. He was also a very active shot blocker.
Cam Hubbard 6’5″ McCluer: An athletic forward who is bouncing back from an injury that caused him to miss much of last season. He put in a lot of good work at John Burroughs with his energy and high motor at both ends of the court. He attacked the basket well on offense and his rebounding was good.
