2015 Verbals Being Over-Looked

2015 Verbals Being Over-Looked
 

The last few years we’ve witnessed a trend where kids are being over-evaluated; now in some instances prospects in the Illinois 2015 class have been undervalued.  Maybe coaches these days are feeling a little more pressure surrounding their job security and can’t take chances on a promising player which may not be ready to perform immediately?

Tom Johnson    5’8”    PG    MM    Chicago Bogan/Chicago Trojans
Clever play-maker; good student; plays tough; good kid/character.  What’s the problem?  Wisconsin-Milwaukee has shown strong interest.

Brodic Thomas    6’1”    G    MM    Bolingbrook/Illinois Rise
“One day a special player, particularly once he adds some strength; excellent jump-shooter and he’s a skilled player.”

Jachi Taylor    6’6”    WF    MM    Waukegan/NLP
Starting to create some buzz for himself; top notch athlete one of our state’s elite high-flyers; skills starting to shine.

Allen Billinger    6’0”    PG    MM-LM+    Carbondale/Illinois Bears
“Shrewd general; has a good feel for the game; excellent midrange shooter.  Vastly underrated.”

Ken Perkins Jr.    6’9”    G/F    MM    Chicago North-Lawndale/Chicago Demons
“The lefty has grown quite a bit in 2 years; handles himself well on the perimeter.”

Antonio Thomas    6’7”    SF    LM+    Chicago Bogan/Team Rose
A high energy athlete; uncanny rebounder; D2’s camped-out in his premises; capable scorer around the rim.  “Who says he can’t play in the OVC?”

Fred Sims Jr.    6’2”    G    LM+    Chicago North-Lawndale/Full Package
“This kid can score in his sleep; Fred has some D2’s gasping for an opportunity.  He, no question is a Div I talent.”

Jeremiah Stewart    6’4”    G    LM+    Chicago Julian/Mom & Papa Program
“Clearly a hidden gem; brings a package of athleticism and the ability to score.”

Donovan Franklin    6’4”    G    MM-LM+    O’Fallon/St. Louis Eagles
“Had a tough July, but folks down-in-his-area know e’s a feared gun-slinger; Donovan can handle the rock creating for others as well as himself; shot is streaky right now.”  Had a lot of Valley interest early.
