He’s currently averaging near 25 points per outing. Olney Central, Rend-Lake, and Wabash Valley have made a push for his services.

 Marian Catholic lost three-year starter Brandon Hurt. The six foot back court wiz who we often considered a top 15 prospect in the 2018 class played one game at the Hinsdale Central Holiday Event, and then announced he was transferring to Victory Prep in Florida. “We wish him well”.
