TOP YOUNGSTER’S I WAS IMPRESSED WITH

Patrick McCaffrey                  6’9”          WF          2019                        West (Iowa City, IA)

The best player there for 2 days.  His play reminds us of Keith Van Horne. PCaff has the all around package to be a prime time national recruit:  “Destined to be a Hawkeye”

Trayce Jackson-Davis            6’8”          SF            2019                        Center Grove (Greenwood, IN)

Athletic shot-blocker and finisher; Really flourished in the all-star game.  Protected the paint like a big time interior recruit.  One of the top 2 or 3 players at the event

Malik Hall                              6’6”          F              2019                        Sunrise Christian (Wichita, KS)

Metea Valley cast-off, recently re-classified, has a wealth of talent, and he demonstrated it for 2 days.  Swingman type, an athletic Malcolm Hill

Lamond Johnson                     6’3”          G              2019                        Chicago Morgan Park

Was a force at both ends of the floor.  He’s going to be a 2 way stud.  This kid is fearless

Markese Jacobs                      5’10”        G              2019                        Chicago Uplift

He was pure entertainment. Jacobs is starting to remind me of the Wizard Gus Williams, the former Seattle Super Sonics Legend

Jamari Sibley                          6’9”          C              2020                        Nicolet (Milwaukee, WI)

Displayed nice hands; a feather touch & skilled enough to be a versatile threat.  Impressive.

Adam Miler                             6’2”          WG          2020                        Peoria Manual

Explosive southpaw; dynamite in transition; can score in bundles; now I see where all the fanfare created it’s own wave.  Might be No. 1 in the class.

Rodney Clemons                     6’2”          G              2019                        Chicago Curie

Nice player, wiry shot-it from distances, looked invocative slashing to the cup.  I like his potential.

Joel Watts                              5’9”          G              2020                        St. Rita

Had some moments in the All-Star game where he made some big shots

Miles Baker                           6’1”          PG           2019                        Chicago Young

This kid was terrific, played with poise & was in attack mode, most of the day; good looking prospect.  Now who is he backing-up at Young?

John Michael Mulloy               6’8”          F/C          2019                        Carmel (Carmel, IN)

Was mobile & active; competed at a high level; looks like he will thrive in a system setting

Taeyon Neal                            6’10”        C              2019                        Providence St. Mel

Brandishes enormous potential in which he demonstrated during the 2 day rumble, his love for the game often questioned – elected to pass on the All-Star game

Shon Robinson                        6’7”          F              2020                        Morgan Park

Lanky athlete was impressive; ran the floor; scored inside & mid range; blocked shots; Stardom could be in the picture

A.J. White                                6’5”          F              2019                        Rockhurst (Kansas City, MO)

Big body terror; He took it to opponents offensively all day on Sunday

Amauri Pesek                         6’3”          G              2019                        Omaha South (Omaha, NB)

I caught a short version glimpse of his individual’s feats.  He was considered one of the Top 5 players at Pangos.

Jeremiah Hernandez               6’4”          G/F          2019                        St. Viator

The consensus around the camp was he played well enough to be selected to one of the All-Star teams.  This kid was one of the Top 5 under-rated talents at the event.  Top 20-25 in our deep 2019 crop in Illinois.  Did not have his political supporters on-hand with him

Martynas Macenis                  6’4”          G/F          2019                        Stagg (Palos Hills, IL)

Slendly skilled performer knocked down shots and made plays.  Top 5 sleeper

Detalian Brown Jr                  6’2”          G              2019                        Morton (Berwyn, IL)

Sleek & smooth; played with a wealth of confidence, capable scorer, under-rated

Patrick Baldwin Jr                  6’5”          WG          2021                        Haven Middle School (Evanston)

At 13 years of age he was the youngest on-hand.  Already equipped with excellent length.  Has that Allan Houston profile going now, a future star attraction in our area.  Northwestern baby!!!

Marquise Walker                    6’0”          PG           2019                        St. Joseph (Westchester, IL)

Dazzled as he usually does; injury shut him down in the All-Star setting

Brandon Weston                     6’3”          G              2020                       St. John’s Military (WI)

Top 5 under rated performer; made athletic plays & shots, the game looked easy.

Kejuan Clements                     6’2”          G              2019                        Chicago Simeon

Combo type right now, ball handling has to be shored-up, played well in the All-Star setting

Antonio Reeves                       6’2”          G              2019                        Chicago Kenwood

Was good in spurts on Sunday; His game - still raw & in developmental stage

D.J Steward                            6’1”          G              2020                        Fenwick

This kid had the look on Sunday, as a prime time prospect.  It should be interesting watching his growth as a player.  Very talented
