Nice list but you got nailed by some of the under the radar recruits who Rivals didn't have ranked.
Josh Robinson from St. Mary's High School in STL, class of 2014 where he averaged 35 ppg. He kept it up at Austin Peay, was their leading scorer at 17 ppg as a sophomore and 20 ppg as a junior. Got suspended for violation of team rules and left school before his senior year, didn't get drafted, but this kid was a pure scorer who could really ball.
Another great shooter who went under the radar was Mike Lewis II, a 2016 classmate of Jayson Tatum and Tyler Cook at Chaminade. He went to Duquesne and has been their leading scorer both years of his career so far as both a freshman and a soph, averaging over 14 ppg each year. A bit more streaky than Jordan Barnes but when he gets hot he's another great shooter.
There are other examples but point being, don't undersell the depth of talent coming out of STL. Lot of "no stars" guys that blossomed, I'm sure that is the case in every major city every year.
