It seems we all like to chime in on the conversation regarding this particular group, obviously it’s too early to peg where this class collectively will shake out in comparison to some of the previous ones. “I actually recognize few things at this stage the group has some quality guards, and the top 2 prospects reside in the central part of our state, quite a similar sequence with the 2017 crop with Tilmon & Goodwin (Southern area) at the top.”
- Time Finke 6-5 G/F Champaign Centennial – “There’s not much of a debate here . . .” He has size and he’s skilled with sneaky athleticism and he’s versatile. No. 1 now but things could change before 2018 arrives.
- Kendall Moore 6-0 PG Danville – “Has mad-game, possess leadership qualities – his floor game impressive, he can score. One to watch in this group.”
- Raekwon Drake 6-5 F Chicago Orr – “I like the quiet intensity he brings to the floor, this chiseled-cut North-Sider plays extremely hard, his skills will continue to improve.”
- Darius Beane 6-3 G Carbondale – “Fearless competitor, knows how to play-already a capable scorer.” I see him moving up the charts.
- Marquis “Kezo” Brown 6-1 G Chicago Simeon – “Strong body left-hander – still raw in many areas. He seems to wanna be an elite prospect, let’s see how hard he works for it.”
- Cardell McGhee 6-3 G/F Springfield Lanphier – “Potent slasher with a rapidly improving floor game; shoots-it-on-the-perimeter effectively.”
- Xavier Castaneda 5-11 PG Chicago Young – “A terrific young play-maker, poised at times, plays with a wealth of maturity, was injured all summer, so he’s starting to round into true form.”
- Marquan “Bay-Bay” Williams 5-8 PG Perspective – “I was impressed with his leadership qualities, he’s always been a capable scorer. Now fine-tuning some parts of his game, mostly not trying to do too much.”
- Ayo Dosunmu 6-1 PG Morgan Park – “This promising prospect whom has grown some since last season, he will transition in well with seniors Charlie Moore and Jarrin Randle helping pave the way.”
- Sanchez Nolley 6-4 WG Chicago Curie – All signals point to him being a bouncy athlete with the “can’t miss tag” to be a standout. “The only thing, he’s unproven.”
- Talen Horton-Tucker 6-2 G/F Chicago Simeon – “Gritty performer, knows how to generate buckets and he can shoot, starting to lose some baby fat.”
- Kevin Caldwell 5-10 PG Alton – “”Lil fellow got mad squabbles, he’s clever and entertaining, has perimeter shooting to go with a strong floor game.” Currently a stellar football player.
- Jake Kosakowski 6-5 F Chicago Young – “The Brother Rice transfer dropped close to thirty something points in a fall league contest at Curie H.S. on (Sat, Sept 26th). He’s got some offensive tools.”
- Daylan Williams 6-5 WF Danville – “This tireless chisel-cut scorer can flat-out play, he’s a scorer, once he learns to compete at the defensive side-look-out!” He runs the floor well.
- Drew Pearson 6-4 WG Libertyville – “Excellent understanding of how to play, he’s a skilled scorer, finishes well in transition.” Will play with the Wolves next season.
- Bailey Dee 5-10 PG Champaign Central – “Silk-Smooth, distributes the rock in the right areas; good mid-range shooter.”
- Brandon Hunt 6-0 G Marian Catholic – “Strong body with the ability to score, plays with a wealth of confidence.”
- Joffari Brown 6-4 G/F St. Joseph – “Wears a hard hat when he suits-up; he provides so many intangibles for his team. Has a tendency to try and do too much at times.”
- Messiah Jones 6-4 F Chicago Simeon – “Big-time leaper, plays with reckless abandonment; skills are improving – attempts to dunk anything near the rim.”
- Chase Adams 6-4 PG Marian Catholic – “Incoming highly touted, certainly has the pizazz, carts a wealth of confidence & knows how to play. For a small guy, I’d like to see his speed & quickness increase. A growth spurt awaits.”
