New Additions to the Top Players in the 2017 Class by Position
New Additions to the Top Players in the 2017 Class by Position
This class will be comparable to some of the top classes in the country such as Georgia, California, Florida, Texas
We’ve got some players on the board in this class. Moline High-School actually lost 2 sure-fire division one mid major prospects due to transfers, we were disappointed to lose them on an already deep grid. Top 15 prospect while in Illinois, Baily Basala a 6-5 scorer who averaged in double figures last season for Moline will head to North Scott H.S. in Eldridge, Iowa. Earlier in the season Moline lost 6-5 versatile wing Darrius Martin to Bettendorf H.S. also in Iowa. “Never-the-less we are still loaded/strong, the group as a whole has so much potential.”

Christian Negron 6-7 HM-MM+ Elgin Larkin/Mac Irvin Fire – “Starting to figure out how to play hard through situations; skills improving; has learned how to manufacture points.”
Charles Payton 6-7 HM-M+ Bloomington/IL Wolves – “A rapidly improving player & confidence soaring; potentially could develop into an athletic stud; his game will expand on perimeter. Top 10 in the class.”
Manny Patterson 6-7 MM+-MM Chicago Kenwood/Mean Streets – “His game’s starting to take shape after being shelved late; needs to continue to improve his strength & skill; I like his upside.”
Malik Binns 6-5 MM-LM+ Chicago Hope Academy/Mac Irvine Fire – “Plays on the fire’s 16-U team; has a competitive spirit; capable of big baskets and huge plays.”
T. J. Smith 6-7 MM Marian Catholic/Fundamental U. – “Once a heralded prospect, but a leg injury saddled his development; was out all of last season (school); now he’s starting to show signs of a promising prospect, skilled and bouncy.”
Justin Carpenter 6-7 F-MM Mount Carmel (IL)/Evansville Pocket City – “Above average athlete; scores well around the rim; had a really good showing in Milwaukee (won Gold Div. 16-U); plays in obscurity; his value will rise soon.”
Coreyoun Rushin 6-5 MM Westinghouse/Mean Streets – “Explosive player with excellent length; capable of getting to the rim in a flash; skills are starting to take shape.”
Austin Richie 6-6 MM Marian Catholic/ ? - “Strong body; has the ability to step-out & make shots; needs to be a more reliable rebounder; future could be bright.”
Mitch Lewis 6-6 MM Naperville North/IL Stars – “This southpaw plays with an abundance of confidence; shots looks unorthodox but goes in often; his development could transition to a wing spot.”
Romon Douglass 6-5 MM Peoria Manual/Peoria Heat – “While Da’Monte Williams draws all-the-fan-fare now, Roman will steal the attention soon; a hard working competitor; his game will eventually take him outside.”
Lenell Henry 6-8 F/C-LM+-? Morgan Park/Mac Irvin Fire – “Lanky prospect with raw skills; one day he could be a player; needs to lock himself in a gym in August and work on his game.”
Logan Windeier 6-8 F-LM+-? Manteno/Example Sports – “The left-hander is an intriguing player; we viewed him on display in Bolingbrook; he’s a promising prospect; one for me to keep my eyes on; played on the perimeter when I saw him.”
T. J. Clifford 6-6 ? Downer’s Grove South/IL Wolves – “I hear things about his potential; I just haven’t seen him enough.”
Lavon Thomas 6-6 LM St. Joseph/Fundamental U – “Undersized in the paint, but reliable rebounder & defender.”
Jamel Alausa 6-6 SF-LM U-High/All-In – “Good length; promising upside; needs polish; needs to lock himself in the gym in August.”
Stephon Harris 6-5 LM Oswego East/Mean Streets – “Kinda lost track of his development, did not suit-up this past season; we watched him in Milwaukee closely; he’s a burly performer who struggles finishing plays at the rim does play hard but limited offensively right now.”
Brandon Lawani 6-5 SF-LM Bolingbrook/Hooper’s BB-Club – “Not skilled, but competes at a high rate; still work in progress.”
Post-Men on the Board
Jeremiah Tilmon 6-11 HM East St. Louis/St. Louis Eagles – “Kansas, Missouri, Illinois will lead a parade of high majors vying for his services; in August he needs to lock himself in a gym and work on his foot-work and his offensive game; right now he’s not going to woo anyone but he’s a gem in our eyes.”
Cameron Krutig 6-8 MM+-MM Jacobs/Fundamental U. – “Lefty can be a force on the baseline offensively; has to focus on his physical condition.”
Joseph St. Pierre 6-9 MM+-MM Richmond-Burton/LaLumiere (I)/IL Wolves – “Big hands; runs well and finishes around the rim effectively; big body in which he has to fine-tune; he’s heading to the prep-school setting come school time. Could be a stud one day!
Tyler Dancy 6-7 LM+-LM Belleville West/S.W. Titans – “Burly physical build; excellent foot-work & capable of scoring in bunches; unorthodox scorer; averaged 14 pts last season.”
Anthony Cameron 6-9 C-LM Chicago Tilden/Mean Streets – “Slowly coming along; needs to continue to focus on his journey; saw him in Milwaukee, needs to lock himself in a gym come August.”
Sam Orlich 6-8 ? Marian Central/ ? - “Developing prospect; can step-out & knock-down shots from 15 ft.; just haven’t seen enough.”
Tee Aaron Powell 6-8 ------- Marian Catholic/ ? - “Mobile & has huge hands and a big upside if he puts in the work; a project.”
Michael Downing 6-8 ------- St. Joseph/Covant H.S./Fundamental U. – “Reliable sources have indicated he’s improving & it looks as though he’s transferred out of St. Joe’s. He could develop into a prospect, so let’s keep a watch alert on him.”
Shomari Tillett 6-8 ------ Perspective Calumet/ ? - “Hasn’t gotten much done when we’ve viewed him, but things have a way of turning with big’s.”

Top 100 2016 Prospects in Illinois
Top 100 2016 Prospects in Illinois
No sense in dwelling over spilt milk, the class isn’t one of our state’s banner crops, but with the collection of (I’m going to prove everyone wrong.) there will be some diamonds in the rough guys. The class we assume will not be as bad as the 2012 group.

Recruiting/Scouting Notes 7/15/2015
Recruiting/Scouting Notes
Little used Simeon reserve Frederick Scott King performed well enough at Adidas Spring Event that the 6-7 forward landed himself a scholarship at DePaul. The often-traveled lefty could develop into a contributing role-player for the Demons within a few years. One thing big-fella can do is stroke it on the perimeter, he’s now going to have to adjust to the pace of the college game particularly during Big-East play. He’s worth rolling the dice on.
Promising front-courter Joseph St. Pierre a six foot nine stud listed in the deep 2017 class has left Richmond-Burton H.S. for Indiana Prep-School La Lumiere. Now he must focus on getting his weight down, but he is a dandy.
Alton H.S. 2015 grad Bryan Hudson a 6-8 lefty who we reported on all season who drew a flock of major league baseball scouts and executives to his high-school basketball game recently signed with the Chicago Cubs for a reported $1.1 million bonus. He was a third round draft pick, this kid was a talent in hoops, once considered walking-on at Missouri where he was slated to attend prior to the draft. Hudson throws in the high 90’s, we just might see him in the majors within 2 years. More under-achieving hoopers need to go this route.
Northwestern locked-up two of the top 3 players in the 2016 class when Hinsdale South post-man Barret Bensen gave a verbal last week. Earlier the no. 1 player Rapolas Ivanaukas of Barrington gave a verbal in April. This hasn’t happened in recent memory of the Wildcat program. In May they received a commitment from stand-out 2016 guard Isaiah Brown, the Seattle native plays at Lake-Side High. NU beat out Washington, Oregon State, Washington State and St. Mary’s.

TOP 10 PLAYERS AT THE 30TH ANNUAL MORRIS SHOOT-OUT
This event isn’t remotely close to what it once was, but nothing stays the same anyway.
Ethan Meeker 6-2 SR-G LM Galesburg/Quad City Elite
“Led his team to the tournament title. Clever ball-handler system type who shoots on the perimeter efficiently.” July will be a period he’s examined closely.
Jake Baughman 6-1 SR-G LM Bloomington Central Catholic/Illinois Irish
“Jump shooter with a big-game mentality. Knows how to play, he was a surprise.”
Justin Smith 6-5 G/F HM Stevenson/Mac Irvin Fire
“Highly touted and deserves the ink; his game was smooth & silk for 2 days. I’m assuming he received the red-carpet treatment at Illinois and Purdue this weekend.”
Tayvon Tyler 6-0 SR-PG LM Rockford Auburn
Jet quick; the speedster dominated most opposing guards throughout the event. Tyler grabbed the interest of several D2 & small college coaches.
Isaac Nelson 5-9 SR-G LM Springfield High
The little lefty was special, he lit it up for 2 days amassing thirty points in several outings. His ball-handling has improved.
Marcus Latham 6-1 SR-PG MM-LM+ Alton/Illinois Jet
In my 1st viewing of him, the south paw went for 30, then came right back out his second outing and recorded over 40. “He can score in his sleep.”
Jacob Cushing 6-7 F LM+-LM Neuqua Valley/Mercury Elite
Lanky shooter, only played the first day where he was solid. Cushing shot okay, but played hard at both ends.
Trevian Bell 6-4 WF MM Joliet West/Illinois Wolves
Showed superb quickness and the ability to see the floor as a passer; made 12-15 jumpers and displayed maturity & good athleticism.
Isaac Gassman 6-5 G/F LM-D2 Ottawa/Quad City Elite
The long-armed-lefty was heavily viewed as much as Galesburg’s Meeker. Gassman showed he is a very skilled performer and versatile while having a true understanding of how to play. He is a feared outside shooter.
Isaiah Roby 6-8 F HM Dixon/Quad City Elite
The Nebraska recruit was flawless; he makes the game look so effortlessly at times; this promising prospect did it all for his team. Roby is a full-time perimeter player at the next level.
Keaton Rombach 6-7 F LM+-LM Ottawa/Chicago Lockdown
An intriguing player; can handle the ball and make some decisions on the perimeter; has transitioned his game from the interior to the wing position within the last year; his jump shot is coming along nicely; a player to watch in July.

Updates (2) 7/8/2015
Stevenson six foot five versatile junior Justin Smith will visit Illinois and Purdue over the weekend (6/26-28). He was arguably the best player at 30th Annual Morris Shout-Out. Smith rated top 4 in a talented 2017 crop has Duke, Indiana, DePaul, Northwestern, Illinois and Wake Forest on his trail.
Rend-Lake Community College continues to add promising layers to an already terrific recruiting class. The latest addition to their 2015-16 roster is Uplift’s explosive combo guard Deshon FLukus. This kid is an exceptional athlete in the open-floor and once he sharpens his jump shooting his value could soar. Unfortunately Morton’s talented guard Tony Haley didn’t make the cut academically. He fell short in the classroom after the hoop season. His team-mate Dexter Dale may still be available. Haley had initially signed with Rend-Lake.
Former Simeon stand-out forward Steve Taylor suited-up three years at Marquette where he received a significant amount of floor time has decided to leave the program. The six foot seven forward will sit-out next season at Toledo, then have one year remaining. “This was a strange twist, but I guess he and his decision-makers know what he’s signing-up for.”
Bradley cast-off Josh Cunningham heavily courted by the likes of DePaul and Illinois finally settled on Dayton as his destination. He will sit out next season and have 3 remaining years to perform, where he will join former club mates Kyle Davis and Kendall Pollard on the Flyer’s roster. The consensus in the Chicagoland area has him bolting Flyer Land after 2 seasons.
Chicago Whitney Young lost the brother tandem of Rodney Herenton a 6-1 senior guard and prized junior playmaker Willie Herenton and three year varsity letterman Skyler Nash a sometimes under-achieving forward. The trio was expected to amass 37-40 points per outing, that’s a hefty loss for any high-school team. The Herenton brothers will join hot-shot junior Justin Smith at Stevenson. While Nash will use the change of scenery at Riverside-Brookfield to rejuvenate his status as a well-rounded performer.
It was a damper upon hearing the recent transfer of potential high-scoring forward Bailey Basala a six foot five forward considered a top 25 prospect in a talented 2017 class. Basala averaged over 15 markers per game last season for Moline. He will cross the bridge and attend North Scott High in Iowa next season. Basala suits-up for the Iowa Barnstormers. In addition our state may lose 2016 top five prospect Jerry Myles (Net Gain Sports, MN) to one of the Iowa area schools or the Twin Cities. The talented 6-5 left-hander marred with some immature challenges at times could secure a high-major fit after summer play.

Updates 7/8/2015
When DePaul landed a verbal from Curie’s highly touted 2016 guard Devin Gage, it didn’t blindside most observers. The Blue Demon’s Assistant Coach Billy Garrett Sr. has long coveted the six foot two Gage who is widely considered a top 50 recruit in a Downer 2016 class. He has been marred with injuries of late, but he should fit Leitao’s scheme for overall depth & versatility.
Iowa State plucked away Loyola-Chicago’s top assistant Daniyal Robinson. His departure will leave a gapping vacancy within some intrical areas. Robinson was always sharp/prepared and dialed in on his day to day responsibilities. Assistant Emmanuel Dildy should have an expanding role with recruiting as well as on the floor duties. Former Arkansas-Little-Rock Head Coach Steve Shields is slated to replace D-Rob who is returning to Iowa State in his second stint.
Chicago Lincoln Park High-School hired one-time assistant there, Pat Gordon. He should be able to give that once promising program a push forward.
