Drew Fowler - SEMO Legends - Drew Fowler of the SEMO Legends is a 5'9" guard from Campbell, Missouri. As soon as he arrives at the SportsPlex parking lot he will be in shooting range as the 2026 prospect can shoot from anywhere. He also has a quick first step, a high basketball IQ, and plays with a chip on his shoulder
Chris Artis - SEMO Select - Chris Artis of SEMO Select is a tough guard who will be one to watch in the JV boys division. The combo guard pushes the ball in transition, has a variety of finishes at the rim, and guards HARD for the length of the floor. Look for him to make his name this weekend.
Cade Sawyer = SEMO Suns - Cade Sawyer is a tough nosed 6'1" small forward who does a lot for the SEMO Suns 2027 group. He is a tough finisher around the rim, can guard multiple spots, and can score in bunches. Look for him to emerge as a top 2027 both regionally and nationally this AAU season.
Treyshaun Schandon - SEMO Suns - Treyshaun Schandon is an elite prospect out of Southeast Missouri who is battle tested against national competition. The athletic 2027 can finish at the rim with creativity or can get going with a mix of perimeter moves that are beyond his years.
Shon'tez Bell Jackson - SEMO Suns - The shifty and strong guard never fails to catch eyes and he is an all around leader for his team. He can get down hill quickly and loves to get in the paint and create for others. Another big time defender for the SEMO Suns group.
Shawn Luba - Missouri Kings - Shaun Luba of the Missouri Kings is one to watch at this Saturday's AthElite Jersey Jam! The guard has a bright future as he already does a great job of making the right play, knocks down shots, and loves the game.
Q Hillfiger - SEMO Blazers - Q Hillfiger is the real deal. He has had several standout performances at AthElite events over the years, and we expect this weekend to be no different. The guard from Malden High School is built like a D1 guard and can score in a variety of ways and takes pride in his defense! College coaches should tap in ASAP.
Tylin George - UpNext - Tylin George is quickly emerging as one of the best 2026 prospects in the country. He gets off the floor quick, loves to play above the rim, and has polished his game to be a complete player. Watch your head this weekend if Tylin is on the court!
Jonathan Harrison - Mt. Vernon HoopSquad - 2024 6'7" Forward Jonathan Harrison is coming off a huge junior campaign and will look to build off of it at this weekend's AthElite Jersey Jam. College coaches will love the long and athletic forward that can go up and dunk off the drop step or block shots at a high rate.
Michael King - PRIME - Michael King's Instagram handle is "Mike the Future" and he lives up to the name! The shifty guard has a knack for the game and continues to get better every time we see him and will only get better from here. Supreme efficiency from 15 feet and the ability to make the right read will make him one to watch.
Wyatt Evans - VP Basketball - Wyatt Evans of VP is one of the most intriguing 2028 prospects in the area. Evans can guard multiple spots, shoots at a high clip, and plays with a high motor and will make plays that help his team win.
Anthony Duncan - MidWest Hoops - The shifty young guard plays with IQ beyond his years. He can run the show or play the other guard spot for his team and is a high level passer and scorer.
Mikaden Greene - MidWest Hoops - Greene is an athletic wing who can flat out fill it up! He loves to get out and run in transition, attacks at a high level from the perimeter, and can knock down the 3.
Derrick Thomas - MidWest Hoops - Derrick is a FORCE around the rim. The high motor big man runs the floor well, finishes everything around the rim, and is an elite defender.
Masin Presser - Zone 618 - Masin Presser is a 6'5" wing who is new to the AAU scene, but won't take long to make his name known. The athletic swing man can fill a scoresheet in a hurry with his ability to get to the rim and finish over defenders. Had multiple 40 point high school outings and will emerge as one of the best in the state of Illinois.
DeCarl Payne - Tune Squad 17u - DeCarl Payne is an elite point guard from Carbondale High School where he terrorizes the South 7 conference with his ability to get down hill, blow by defenders, and score on all three levels. He will look to bring the same ability to the Jersey Jam.
Cannon Roth - SEMO Select - Cannon Roth is a 6'4" forward from Farmington High School. Cannon's game is characterized by his ability to beat his opponents both inside and out. He is a tough matchup for any defender, regardless of their position. If a post guy tries to guard him, he'll take them outside and hit jumpers from the perimeter. If a guard tries to defend him, he'll take them inside and finish strong around the rim.
Luke Kirk - Team Arkansas - Luke is an impressive 6'2" guard who is making his name this AAU season. One of Luke's greatest strengths is his ability to see the court well. He has a remarkable basketball IQ and can anticipate plays before they happen. This allows him to make smart passes and set up his teammates for easy baskets. His shooting ability is also impressive, with a smooth and consistent jump shot that rarely misses its mark. Luke's finishing skills around the rim are also noteworthy, with lots of creative finishes and counters that keep defenders guessing.
Reonte Walker - Tune Squad 17u - Reonte's skill set is versatile, which makes him a valuable asset to any team. He has the ability to play both guard and forward positions and can contribute to the team in various ways. His speed, agility, and athleticism make him a tough matchup for defenders, and his shooting and ball-handling abilities are equally impressive.
Brady Robinson - Southern Indiana Gold 2024 - Brady is a 6'5" post player from Southern Indiana Gold who is currently flying under the radar but will see his stock rise as the season goes on. The high motor versatile big takes pride in his rebounding and has recorded several double doubles so far this season. He finishes with either hand and runs the floor well and is a tireless defender.
Patric Matson - Southern Indiana Gold 2024 - Patric Matson is an impressive 2025 prospect out of Bedford North Lawrence High School who plays up an age group with Southern Indiana Gold 2024. Standing at 6'3", Matson has the ability to guard multiple spots on the floor and causes match-up problems for opponents with his ability to score over and through smaller guards and blow by larger defenders.
