A Reflective Moment of Truth The Index

A Reflective Moment of TruthThe Index
As the season comes to a close, this is how we view things

Top Seniors in Our State

1.       Charlie Moore        5-11        PG Morgan Park – He’s been prolific all year, the Memphis recruit likely will be named player of the year.  Lil Charlie has some unfinished business in the 3A State Tournament,
2.       Zac Norvell    6-4    G/F          Simeon – The Gonzaga recruit helped propel his Wolverine team to a city title.  The southpaw has state tourney aspirations on his mind.
3.       Mike Smith    5-9    PG           Fenwick – An unsigned senior, 4 year varsity letterman, proven winner, he can quarterback a team and win; knows how to activate his play on a big stage; Patriot and other ivy league programs heavily interested.  3A challenge awaits in an already banner year.
4.       Nick Robinson        6-5          WF Chicago Kenwood – Illustrated during his teams quest for a city title that his game has taken leaps & bounds; he’s unsigned and poised for high-major offer.  Now allows the game to come to him instead of always in attack mode.
5.       Micah Bradford      6-1          PG Bradley-Bourbonnais – Valpo landed a terrific recruit, this dazzling talent dropped 36 on Thornton a few weeks ago without hoisting-up twenty shots.
6.       Devon Gage   6-2    G             Chicago Curie – DePaul recruit has a ton of talent, he’s starting to process climate & understanding when he needs to activate his play while sharing with his talented mates.  He may need a year of seasoning before being thrown in the fire of the Big East Conference.
7.       James Jones   6-3    WG          Chicago Bogan – University Buffalo landed a steal, he’s been in a volatile climate the last 5 months or so, but to his credit, he’s managed to carve out a nice season for him & his team.  Jones, an explosive open-court player with the capabilities of being a reliable outside threat.
8.       Barret Benson         6-10        C    Hinsdale South – Gaudy numbers in scoring & rebounding has the Northwestern recruit closing in on some school records.  Some critics aren’t impressed with his abilities. 
9.       Tarkus Ferguson     6-4          G    Belleville Althoff – Wiry – Tark has mad game and he’s going to have the platform in a few weeks to display it – the UIC recruit-possess-flair & swag.  In college his all-around talents will flourish as he gains strength & knowledge.
10.   Justin Pierce  6-6    F              Glenbard West – Has gained high marks through his stand-out play while leading his team-mates through a memorable season; William & Mary College pulled off a heist in landing this gem.  He’s a nice talent.


Just missing the top 10 cut:  Isaiah Roby 6-8, F, Dixon – Brendon Gooch 6-6, G/F, Althoff – Zion Morgan 6-1, G, Kenwood – Nick Rakocevic 6-9, F, St. Joes
