TOP PROSPECTS IN THE 2021 CLASS

“Many of us around these parts are excited about the potential of this particular group. Hoping the group can propel our State back to Elite status nationally.”

NAME / HT / POS / RANK / HIGH SCHOOL / CLUB TEAM
• Max Christie 6-5 PG 1 Rolling Meadows Illinois Wolves
“Very talented, had a visit to Duke last month. Dropped 40 a few games ago, still not hundred percent healthy. Recovering from leg injury.”

• Bryce Hopkins 6-7 WG 2 Fenwick Illinois Wolves
“Young fella has some toughness & importantly he can flat-out score. Elite plus prospect.”

• Ahmad Bynum 6-2 G 3 Simeon Mack Irvin Fire
“High volume shooter-once he gets going, look out. “Black-cat” can drain jumpers in a flurry.”

• Brandon Weston 6-4 G 4 Morgan Park New York Group
“Highly touted for several years, now transferred over from Lake Forest Academy. Questions loom about his year status. Currently in-eligible.”

• Anthony Sayles 6-1 PG 5 Niles Norte Dame Illinois Wolves
“Handles himself well, has a good understanding of how to play & manage his team/game. Uses both hands well around the rim. Potential mid-major plus recruit.”

• Chris Hodges 6-7 PF 6 Schaumburg Illinois Wolves
“Has registered some monster outings. Team-mates don’t throw the ball to him enough & he plays hard at both ends.”

• Dionysius Hogan 6-4 G/F 7 Peoria High Peoria Heartland
“Awfully talented lad, the game comes easy for him; good decision-maker in the open floor. Looks like a prime target for high-majors.”

• Kimahri Wilson 6-1 G 8 Carmel Y&R
“An exciting player to watch, zips by defenders in the open-court; missed some games in December for whatever reason.”

• Scotty Ebube 6-8 F 9 Mundelein Kessel Heat
“Silk-smooth performer-averages 16 points & 10 rebounds. We are high on his potential. Highly touted prospect.”

• Grant Newell 6-7 WF 10 Whitney Young Mean Streets
“Wiry wing playing in the shadows of others now-lookin’ like a high-major recruit.”

• Tevin Smith 6-4 G 11 Danville Mean Streets
“Performed well at Pontiac-starting to resemble a 2-way threat. We finally saw areas where he’s at best with his scoring abilities.”

• Bennie Slater 6-5 WF 12 Springfield High Peoria Heartland
“This kid can score in bunches, currently having a modest year averaging 12 points and playing center for Lowly squad. We know he can play!”

• Khaillo Terry 6-5 F 13 Champaign Central Spiece (IND)

“A front-court player who has blossom as a three-point shooter, he showed it while making five-three pointers in the game Friday night vs St. Pat.”

• Blake Peters 6-2 WG 23 Evanston Mean Streets
“Scrappy performer-it goes un-noticed because he’s such an excellent shooter. A total system type player.”

• Julio Monte 5-10 PG 24 Lincoln Park Mac Irvin Fire
