I had a couple people ask me about the Post-Dispatch’s Super 30 list that I referenced in the Jack Meiners story this morning. The list was compiled by Nate Latsch, a prep writer who has been working on St. Louis recruiting for many years, and was published in February.
I thought I’d post it here to give people a look at who the P-D thinks are some of the top kids in the St. Louis area juniors. This is pretty accurate since most of our prep writers have seen these guys play in person at one point or another. No surprise that Missouri has offers out to quite a few of them. The gold are players have already committed to Mizzou.
