Another batch of top high school prospects will make their way through Great Southern Bank Arena for the annual Bass Pro Tournament of Champions.

This year’s tournament is loaded with four- and five-star prospects already signed with the top college programs in the nation. There will be plenty of NBA potential on the floor in a tournament that has seen some of the best in the game come through southwest Missouri.

The tournament will be held Jan. 16-18.

Here is a look at the players you need to know entering the biggest sporting event Springfield has to offer:
