Congrats to Foster. That is quite the list to be included on.
I think it is fairly safe to assume those five are most likely the top five players in the state, so let's play "what conference doesn't fit?"
Big Ten (albeit the big Ten this year), Big East, Missouri Valley.
Bryan Mullins can recruit.
AND he recruits the right kind of kids.
this is a bit outdated, but is very illustrative I think (and what a sweet jump shot!)

Hoping for 1-2 quality additions in the next month or two that upgrade the Salukis' quickness, explosiveness and ability to be disruptive defensively. Obviously I'm not expecting Baylor-like athleticism from the 2021-22 Salukis, but last night's title game was yet another reminder of how much of a game-changer athleticism can be, as even a fantastic team like Gonzaga was really bothered by Baylor's quickness and defensive pressure. Southern's roster needs a boost in this area even to consistently compete with top teams in the MVC.
Teams are basically having their entire team chase Wonders and they can't stop him. Has 19 points at halftime

Cool to see Wonders and his team get back to the Breslin Center
The Mountaineers (18-0) will face Schoolcraft (19-1) at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time Thursday at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.
Hopefully they finish the job and get a ring.

We're in Jalen Ricks' Final 8 with some good company. He's a 3 star 6'6 shooting guard from the great Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. Right now 247 has him going to Arkansas via their crystal ball.

Obviously there's not much of a chance we land him but nice to see us in a final 8 that includes Arkansas, Oklahoma State and TCU

Yeah and who knows, if things go south at Arkansas or wherever he goes; it's nice to have a previous connection with how crazy the transfer portal is. That's why I like noting everyone we're talking to or interested in even if it isn't 100% realistic right now.
Hopefully Wonders helps SIU get past the Ramblers at least twice next season. lol

On to the State Championship for Foster Wonders and Iron Mountain

Foster scored 63% of this team's points (34 of 54).............with the other team focused on him. Knowing that if Iron Mountain were to win, that Foster would have to lead them. And yet he STILL DID IT........ AGAIN. I'm way too old to wish time away but darn I am excited to see what this young man can do this season.
