6-5 junior Jerry Myles considered by many to be one of the top players in the 2016 class has suited-up for East Moline’s last few games after sitting out practically the first twelve games of the season due to a death in his family and a personal situation related to his loss.  Myles was in double figures in points and rebounds his last outing, so look for him to work the rust-off quickly.  One thing the lefty does which seems to be a lost art with a majority of young players today is his ability to score in a variety of ways as well as perimeter shooting!

North-Lawndale six foot nine pencil thin lefty, Kenneth Perkins Jr. continues to intrigue colleges/scouts, especially with his ability to play on the perimeter and demonstrating ball skills.  The fact to the matter, he just may be 2 years away from playing in a Div I mid-major setting.  Perkins can benefit from a year of prep or juco to polish & learn the game as well as add strength to his slender frame.

Bolingbrook’s six foot three senior guard Brodric Thomas lit-up Hillcrest for 30 points in a contest where his team defeated a ranked Hillcrest squad over the weekend, 1/17.  Thomas stock is starting to soar, his date against downstate O’Fallon on February 7th should be a venue where observers in the middle of the state get a chance to view this underrated gem.  O’Fallon’s 6-4 senior guard Donovan Franklin one of the state’s top unsigned seniors will also be a feature player to watch.
