“Very good event, interesting set-up in a very sprucy area, hospitality room solid B+.” This event had the feel of a never-ending marathon hoop-festival. Bloom outlasted Wheaton-Warrenville South to finish the weekend with an 8-0 mark, nearly getting tripped-up versus St. Charles North mounting a late surge in a come from behind thriller. The Trojans took down opponents Glenbrook South, Walter Payton, Curie, New Trier, St. Charles North, Larkin, Benet, and WW. South in the final. Bloom’s Keshawn Williams has the look and the game of a first-team all-stater. His play the last 2 weekends have reaffirmed his status as top 3 prospect in the 2020 Class. Williams is racking up offers at high rate, he’s starting to remind many of us long time observers of a modern-day Darrell Walker (Corliss). His game at times borders on a high-wire act. Bloom senior guard Donavan Newby continues to elevate his stock with steady floor play. He demonstrated the ability to score as well as find others. Whenever Bloom discovers playing together as a team, sharing the ball while executing offense out their half-court sets, it might just enhance their overall growth as a team in addition to providing consistent play.

UN-HERALDED GEM CATEGORY AT RIDGEWOOD
“These guys I’m identifying opened some eyes the last few weekends with stand-out performances. Several of them I envision emerging as top-flight prospects, particularly the under-classmen. Outside of a couple of seniors all the remaining could be a heading for a really good D2 or small College careers.”
