TOP 75 PROSPECTS IN 2020 CLASS

We will continue from our previous issue where we ended at 25. While resuming, make note that the class as a whole doesn’t have a surplus of high-level elite recruits, similar to our 2019 Class in number of Division One signees, we envision 35-40 potentially.

NAME / HT / POS / LEVEL /  RANK / HIGH SCHOOL/CLUB TEAM

• Beau Frericks 6-1 PG MM-LM+ 26 Cary Grove/RWA
“Lid-up some defenders over Memorial weekend in St. Louis (MO), where he averaged over 25 at the event. Should be a target for Patriot League & MAAC Conference.”

• Kyndall Davis 6-5 G/F MM-LM+ 27 Bogan/All in Athletics
“Always possesses the necessary skills to be all-around two-way threat. Swingman clone has scoring ability despite of a modest individual output last season. Offer from IUPUI.”

• Aquan Smart 6-3 G MM-LM+ 28 Niles North/Pure Prep
“A wiry performer, slithers in & out of pockets with ease. Averaged 16.3 last season, now needs to cut back on ill-advised plays, he’s awfully talented. Horizon/Mac target possible.”

• Armond Williams 6-8 F/C MM-LM+ 29 East St. Louis/Ill. Jets
“Physically he resembles a stud; promising prospect still raw in areas of his play, saw limited action last season with a squad of seniors. He’s starting to show signs of growth in his play. He will be viewed closely at Riverside-Brookfield Shoot-Out.”

• Jimarius Sneed 6-5 WF MM-LM+ 30 Chicago Crane/Team Rose
“Explosive finisher built like a tight-end. Has enormous potential. Could excel as a lock-down defender. Averaged double figures last season. Sleeper recruit.”

• Javante Breckens 6-4 WF LM+ 31 North Lawndale/Wolfpack
“Versatile future wing player, superb athlete, gives you blemishes of what his game could entail to in a year or two. Good lookn’ prospect…”

• Dom Martinelli 6-3 G LM+ 31 Glenbrook S./Fundamental
“Had a fantastic junior campaign, put-up some impressive numbers. Now we lookn’ to observe him demonstrate his all-around offensive game later in the month.”

• Micah Schnyder 6-4 PG LM+- 32 Lincoln-Way West/Mac Irvin
“Talented player/scorer/ball-handler, just hasn’t been able to exhibit his abilities much this spring. Likely could suit-up for next level elite in July.”

• Connor Linke 6-9 PF LM+ 33 St. Charles North/Illinois Wolves
“Has always been on our radar, intrigued with his length & abilities to be a shot-swatter. According to Joe H., Linke is making strides.”

• Johnathan Odom 6-5 PF LM 34 Chicago Legal Prep/Chicago Demons
“Twenty years ago, this kid would be a sure-fire D1 find. In today’s highly magnified climate we tend to over examine/analyze most encounters. Odom is sort of a throw-back, a pogo stick type athlete inside, he just needs to refine his ball-handling and perimeter skills. A true sleeper.”

• Kendale Anderson 6-7 PF LM 35 Chicago Leo/Y&R
“A brute strong specimen type. Hits the glass with authority, limited offensive game now but compensates in many ways impacting a game. Stock/value will likely soar during the month of June.”

• Frank Jabubicek 6-8 PF LM 36 Cary Grove/Quad City Elite
“Big fella starting to play his way into some serious conversation particularly with what league would suit his abilities. He finished-up the school season well, now he’s created some momentum for himself on the spring circuit. Frank is becoming more consistent at finishing around the rim.”

“MORE TO COME WITH 2020 CAST”

Some cats I’ve observed over the last few weeks and I’ll continue to follow up on during the June evaluation period.

• Elijah Watson 2020 6-7 F LM 45 T.F. South/Y&R
“Two or three years away from being a player that many would covet. Agile prospect with a promising future, with mid-range jump-shooting ability.”

• Larry Johnson 2021 6-3 G/F MM 25 North Lawndale/Wolfpack
“Already doomed as a stud athlete with a bright future. Plays hard with good motor, un-tapped potential presently, look for his recruitment to soar soon.”

• Darrion Jones 2021 6-1 PG MM 23 Chicago Bogan/?
“Physically looks like a defensive back. Tough hardnose, plays with passion, starting to recognize how to win. Lethal win slashing or in transition.”

• Ryan Sroka 2020 6-4 WG ---- 42 Huntley/?
“This kid can knock-down shots on the perimeter with some range. Ball-handling efficient, has excellent length on the out-side.”

• Julio Montes 2021 5-9 PG MM 27 Lincoln Park/Mac Irvin Fire
“His heady & steady play has starting to show resemblance to a Division One play-maker. Respectable out-side threat who knows how to win.”
