Top 2016 Prospects Available
“As we stream along we’re going to actively keep things
real”, we (our state) has mid-major prospects still on-hand, leagues such as
Ivy, Patriot, Valley, MAC, Horizon, OVC, A10, WAC, Conference USA can’t leave
out the Summit – “who could land one of our notable 10-12 and the kid becomes a
heart throb on campus”. St. Joseph 6-9
face-up forward Nick Rakocevic has a few high-majors checking his portfolio
regularly, but some nights his play resembles a prospect suited for Horizon or
MAC conference setting. Lorenzo Edwards
a good lookin 6-7 forward, competitive with a spirited demeanor has a slew of
quality mid-majors to select from by season’s end. Kenwood’s Nick Robinson has an upcoming
platform where the 6-5 swingman can demonstrate some selling points to where
his game can be viewed from. P.L.
semi-finals await. Fenwick point guard
Mike Smith has put together a memorable season, the four year starter has his
team primed to capture the Catholic League Tournament this weekend, as well as
making a legitimate run at a 3A state tourney berth. Smith could really thrive in a system type
setting, he’s very knowledgeable of the game, his play sells that point. Vanderbilt was in recently, Ivy Leagues and
high academic schools have made their visits.
George Wilbourn from De LaSalle has a chance to really be good at the
next level, especially if he descends into the right climate. The 6-3 athlete had 23 in a loss to
Mount-Carmel on Tuesday. James Madison
was in recently for a viewing. Willbourn
has been banged-up the last several weeks, but is still effective. Farragut’s blossoming combo guard Dulan Scott
has been daunting of late. The 6-2
punisher has ripped through defenders all season and he’s equipped to mask as a
defensive stopper at his next destination.
“So much for miscellaneous dudes questioning my evals this summer
which we had Scott pegged as a top 25-30 recruit in the 2016 class!” WAC, MAC, Horizon, A10 and Conference USA
need to see him. Zion Morgan, Kenwood’s
6-1 combo has been mostly steady for one of the areas darling programs. With Valpo still in the rearview mirror, his
play this weekend in the P.L. semis could determine what’s a suitable casting
for his services. Horizon, MAC, Summit,
OVC, WAC, “could be a match”. When he’s
plugged in and activated, Leo’s forward Darias Oliver is capable of being one
of the better scorers in the area. He
possess sneaky athleticism, “yes, he shoots the three ball with accuracy most
nights”. Texas El-Paso is
intrigued. Plainfield North’s 6-6 Kevin
Kreiger averages close to 19 markers an outing, he’s a good athlete but often
not activated enough during stretches of a game. “Good lookin prospect, enough to roll the
dice on him in an OVC, Summit, MAC setting.”
Illinois State was in recently in to view him, Wisconsin has inquired. Springfield Lanphier’s “lil fellow” Xavier
Bishop has been putting-up mad numbers.
He dropped 50 one night a few weeks ago in the City Tournament, he’s on
pace to set some scoring marks at a school/program that has produced some pros,
namely Andre Iguodala and Kevin Gamble and Richard McBride. UMKC reaffirmed their interest by laying another
offer on the table recently. Peoria
High’s slitherly combo guard Deshaun Jackson has mostly performed in obscurity
outside of playing in the Pekin Holiday venue, where he was named to the
all-tourney team, Jackson is 6-3, skilled, versatile enough to play a variety
of roles offensively and defensively.
“He’s a sleeper; OVC, MAC, Summit should pursue. Hyde Park’s 6-6 forward Tajuan Agee has the
all-around package, but also he’s a prime candidate for a red-shirt
situation. He needs to become knowledgeable
of situations and lacks the necessary strength.
A year of polish would activate his entire game. Right now not connected or aligned enough. Miles Howard a 6-7 forward at Marion Catholic
is intriguing, he’s a fine passer, runs the floor well; Patriot League could be
his calling card. He’s a player that we
will continue to watch these upcoming weeks.
