Recruitment: As close to a lock as it gets to end up at Missouri. It is just a question of whether or not he enrolls early or stays in 2018.

Why he's so dangerous: Porter is the best shooting big man in the class of 2018. The southpaw has deep range, a quick release and he shoots the ball with supreme confidence.

Recruitment: Committed to Iowa

Why he's so dangerous: There will be some others out there who shoot higher percentages from deep, but Wieskamp's combination of size, range and confidence are tough to beat. He wants a shot from deep when it matters and his size allows him to shoot over almost anybody.

Recruitment: Offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, USC and others.

Why he's so dangerous: People see Nolley and they see a big, physical and athletic wing. However, what makes him one of the fastest-rising wings in the country is that he's an absolute gunslinger from deep. He's not afraid to let them fly in big numbers from deep and he's got accuracy to match.

Recruitment: Indiana, Texas, Wake Forest, Connecticut, Villanova, Syracuse, Miami, Providence and many more

Why he's so dangerous: Swider's stroke is textbook. He wastes no motion, his feet are always set and his release is quick and balanced. Add in that he's 6-foot-8 and has effortless range and you can see why he's become one of the hottest recruits in America. During last weekend's first session of the Nike EYBL he was 12-of-16 from deep.

Recruitment: The son of Texas Southern head coach Mike Davis has offers from Stephen F. Austin, Cal State Bakersfield and others.

Why he's so dangerous: A home-schooled prospect, Davis doesn't have a big name or a big reputation. But, he can shoot the cover off the ball and from just about anywhere. Years ago, Arkansas had a mad bomber by the name of Alex Dillard, and he would shoot from just about anywhere. Davis has some of that in his game.
