2021-22 Final player rankings
With state championships wrapped up for all boys teams in Southwest MO, Rob Yanders’ definitive top player list is here.
Winning matters. Now that all the games have been played and the dust has settled, Rob Yanders is ready to reveal his final rankings for the top boy players in Southwest, Missouri.
Over the last several installments of The Basketball Movement rankings, the names have remained largely the same, with some jockeying for position taking place. The same stays true in the final ranking, though Yanders has opted to also include some honorable mentions.
The honorable mentions range from players that just barely missed the top 10 to a few good players that may not have faced competition at the level of some of the other players (i.e., smaller schools/talent pools).
Below are Rob Yanders’ final player rankings for 2021-22:
Zach Howell - Springfield Catholic
Kyle Pock - Bolivar
Zaide Lowery - Kickapoo
Colin Ruffin - Nixa
Brayden Shorter - Kickapoo
Elijah Whitley - Parkview
Kael Combs - Nixa
