The Case for Emmett Delp
I
The Frame

6’7” with a near-6’9” wingspan on the wing — and still growing. He arrived on varsity at 6’5” and has added two inches and 25 pounds in two seasons.

II
The Skill

A true three-level scorer: 48 threes, 80% from the line, and a 19.7-point average that led his league — up 3.5 a game from his freshman year.

III
The Student

A 4.0 GPA, top of his class, Honor Roll and NHS. The transcript recruits as hard as the film does.

Delp’s Six Threes Sink Larned in 77–66 Shootout

Dec 16, 2025 · St. John, Kan. · By Next Play

Emmett Delp buried six three-pointers and finished with a season-high 32 points Tuesday night, powering St. John past Larned 77–66 in a high-scoring league battle. The 6’7” sophomore was perfect from the free-throw line at 8-for-8 and scored from every spot on the floor as the Tigers held off a Larned team that never let the margin get comfortable.

The performance marked the second meeting with Larned in four days — and a 19-point improvement on his first effort. Delp would go on to top the 30-point mark twice more before season’s end.

The Journey

In St. John, Kansas — a farm town of about 1,200 people in the middle of Stafford County — basketball isn’t background noise. It’s Friday night. It’s the gym filling up an hour before tip.

And for the last two winters, it’s been a kid getting taller by the season, giving college coaches a reason to find the place on a map.

Emmett Delp arrived on varsity as a freshman wearing No. 20 — a 6’5”, 160-pound guard who started all 21 games and averaged 16.2 points before he could drive himself to practice. By the next fall he had grown two inches, added 25 pounds, and traded No. 20 for No. 10. The game grew with him: 19.7 points per game, 48 three-pointers, a career-high 37 against district champion Central Plains, and an 18-win season for the Tigers.

What sets Delp apart isn’t just the scoring — it’s the profile. A legitimate 6’7” wing who shoots 80% from the line and carries a 4.0 GPA, he’s the kind of player Class 1A Kansas doesn’t produce often. With 857 career points through two seasons, the 1,000-point club is a matter of when, not if. The question coaches are starting to ask is a different one: how good does this get?

“How good does this get?”The question coaches are starting to ask
What They’re Saying

“Emmett is the rare player who’s the first one in the gym and the last to talk about himself. His size and shooting get the attention, but his approach is what separates him.”

Danton Hilton · Head Coach, St. John HS

“He improved three and a half points a game in one offseason and never made it about himself. That tells you where this is heading.”
