Kendall Moore SO 6-1 MM+-MM PG Danville/George Hill All-Stars –
“Doesn’t cart around the notoriety of some other overly publicized dudes in the class, but what he does possess is mad game. We consider him the 2nd or 3rd best player in the class. He is a tough explosive athlete who’s dynamite in transition, has a knack for making big shots, now he is an ace defender, terrific on the ball and he plays the heck out of the passing lanes. He could use some work on his perimeter shooting but that will come because he’s a shot maker. Slenderly build now and a treat to watch.”

Denis Albegovic JR 6-3 MM+-MM WG Downer’s Grove South/Mac Irvin Fire –
“This kid is the closest prospect I’ve seen in recent years comparable to some of the dead-eye marksmen we used to see produced with regularity in Illinois.” He has the confidence of a burglar, not fearful to take big shots & he’s accurate outside threat, reminds me of Ryan Hogan (Deerfield), Brian Wardle (Hinsdale Central), Colin Falls (Loyola), Matt Lottich (New Trier), Brett Melton (Mahomet-Seymour), Neil Plank (Mount Zion). He fits the description obvious, the areas he needs to improve is his strength & ball-handling no question defense will be work in progress.

Rodney Herenton SR 6-1 LM+-LM G Stevenson/Wis-Playground –
“Just viewed him at the DePaul Elite Camp, walked away with positive thoughts. Ivy League in pursuit, the kid has a 4.3 GPA, 29 ACT score that says a lot for his character. System type performer has a strong body capable of being a threat on the perimeter. He will bring strong leadership & experience to the Stevenson program. Remember he was a starting guard on Whitney Young’s 4A state title as a sophomore.”

Jason Jones SR 5-10 LM PG Rock-Island/Quad Cities – 
Brings winning intangibles to any team/program. He was the lead orchestrator for one of our state’s top travel teams, very sure handed doesn’t turn-it-over at a high rate. Jason has pretty good speed & quickness while being a respectable outside shooter; good student, we see quite few players of his caliber surface in the summit league.

Dulan Scott SR 6-4 MM-LM+ G/F Chicago Farragut/Chicago Admirals – 
Vastly underrated right now, he’s likely to be a hot commodity during the spring signing period. The Farragut coaching staff rants & raves about his potential. Dulan is a straight A student with a 22 ACT score. Athletically he has a strong body, can really get to the rim and score. His perimeter shooting has started to come along. We envision him eventually becoming a true 2G. This kid is a very good rebounder & defender more importantly he plays hard. University Illinois at Chicago and Eastern Illinois should go after him.

Xavier Bishop SR 5-7 MM PG Springfield Lanphier/D’Rose –
 Clever left-hander has some “tiny Nate Archibald to his game.” The “X-Factor” can take you outside and drain jumpers with three point range. He still hasn’t quelled enough doubters regarding his play-making capabilities, but over the summer while dividing his circuit time between the St. Louis Eagles and D’Rose he did a nice job finding his spots offensively and hitting the open man when necessary. He had some early offers on the table, his status still up in the air.

James Jones SR 6-3 MM WG Chicago Bogan/Mean Streets – 
We don’t know what leagues he’s been hoop’n in in late July, but the sometimes high-flyer had been “missing in action”. Jones wasn’t with the Mean Streets squad in Milwaukee or Vegas, but come to find out he had a hand injury. Streaky outside shooter, could use some polish with his ball-handling abilities. Illinois State, Indiana State, UIC, Loyola-Chicago are in the picture while Minnesota has shown some interest. Has to improve his ACT score.

George Willborn SR 6-3 MM-LM+ WG DeLaSalle/D’Rose – 
A silk-smooth performer, at times he looks bored, “maybe the game just comes easy to him.” Willborn’s summer was plagued by inconsistency, partially his fault and the other half goes to the outfit he toured with. Many observers who followed the D’Rose squad didn’t feel he was placed in a situation to flourish. He’s such a skilled player, he would probably prosper more in a structured setting. Ohio Valley should pursue as well as Bethune Cookman!

Maurice Edwards JR 6-1 MM G Alton/S.W. Jets – 
Combo type has mid-high-level talent, it’s just that he suffers from the syndrome that most of our downstate players attract, a lack of playing hard all the time. Physically chiseled, equipped with some open-court acceleration & athleticism. His mid-range jumper is potent when utilized. Mo Edwards tends to drift, but when he’s locked in you can see the potential that he possesses, the kid could be a terrific talent.

Trevian Bell JR 6-5 MM WF Joliet West/IL Wolves – 
You can see this kids confidence building as he transitions to the perimeter. He’s shown this summer he can consistently nail 12-15 footers, in fact he possesses good open-court quickness & surprisingly he’s a good passer. Bell has come a long way since the Simeon thrashing back in December at Pontiac where he looked tentative, his game has made leaps & bounds since that debacle. He’s considered a top 25 prospect in the 2017 class. Missouri Valley, A10, Horizon league, Conference USA should pursue him.
