“Really good event, all under one roof, in addition to it was an opportunity to size-up & get a pause to where our area is in terms of high school hoops.”
NAME/ HT/ YR/ POS/ SCHOOL/CLUB/ TEAM
• Kyndall Davis 6-5 SR WF Chicago Bogan/All-In Athletics
“Kangaroo kid was zipping by defenders with his quick first step and wiry frame, creating opportunities for himself as well as his mates. Kyndall has become a reliable mid-range jump shooter. Currently banged-up with some injuries, he played through.”
• Connor Kochera 6-4 SR G St. Viator/Fundamental U.
“Was impressed with his steady play, skilled & smart-doesn’t allow defenders to speed him up. Sure handed, rarely turns-it-over, really good perimeter shooter. A fine mid-major pick-up. Top 20 ranked prospect in the class.”
• Frank Jakubicek 6-8 SR F Cary Grove/Quad City Elite
“Big fella showed he’s capable of knocking down the 3 ball in the corner pocket, as well as rebound in traffic & defend the rim. This spring/and the month of June, Frank has elevated his status as sure-fire mid-major recruit & top 20 in the class.”
• Ramean Hinton 6-4 SR G/F Chicago Curie/Team Rose
“Plays extremely hard & effective where he knocks down shots finishes around the rim with either hand. Superb passer & leader. Certainly, one of the top 5 players in the city.”
• Bennett Kwiecinski 6-8 SR F Loyola Academy/Illinois Wolves
“He finally looked like his game is turning the corner, in terms of his overall ability to stretch the floor & make plays. Performed well enough at this event to land an offer from Illinois State. He’s had a nice month of June.”
• Keshawn Williams 6-2 SR G Bloom/Y&R-Kavon Looney
“Despite of his teams up & down-play, he showed explosiveness in the open floor, while in attack mode. At times his game resembles an old-school feel with his innovative maneuvers, when his jumper is on, he is lethal. Arguably top 3 in the class. Best hoops await!”
• Savion Williams 6-6 SR F Chicago Curie/Y&R
“Sleek cager has major game & looks to have a terrific up-side. Scores with ease around the rim, now he didn’t step out-side much in terms of shot attempts, but sources say he’s a good shooter on the perimeter. Played within a team framework all weekend. Good shot-swatter. Top 20 in the class, refreshing to him in our area.”
• Luke Sgarbosa 6-1 SR G Lake Park/Kessel Heat
“Little known entering the shoot-out, left with a reputation as a gamer. Scored 99 points in 4 games, achieved his offensive assault on defenders playing within a team-oriented attack.”
• Matt Ambrose 6-4 SR G Stevenson/Quad City Elite
“Very smooth performer quietly gets things done efficiently, has that winning formula to his game. MVP of the tournament-dynamite all-around floor game. Top 30 in the class.”
• Jeremiah Williams 6-5 SR G St. Laurence/Mean Streets
“A flat-out hooper, plays with passion & purpose, seems to enjoy playing with his school mates. Un-flappable on the floor where he tends often be in attack mode. Top 10-12 in the 2020 class. Yes, he can shoot, the kid is a shot-maker.”
• Darius Burford 6-2 SR G Bolingbrook/Team Rose
“Plays with some serious burst, has that mis-direction game where he exhibits speed & quickness. Perimeter shooting is rapidly improving Top 15 in the class, has had a really good month of June racking up several offers.”
• Ahron Ullis 6-3 SR PG Marian Catholic/Mean Streets
“Offensive-minded lead guard with the ability to be orchestrator for his mates. Displayed a smooth floor game but has that tendency at times to try and do too much. Top 10 player in the class. Would like to see him elevate his mates more.”
• Ray’Sean Williams 6-1 SR PG Collinsville/Gateway (IL)
“Looked terrific the outings we viewed him, plays with a wealth of confidence & poise, makes the game look easy. A shot-maker with the ability to be a high-scorer even though he is a willing distributor. Has been playing on a bum ankle for weeks.”
• D.J. Stewart 6-3 SR G Whitney Young/Mean Streets
“He’s bagging plenty of offers these days, but shrewd gamblers have him staying local. The No. 1 player in our state, exhibits poise & precision. His reputation is mounting, as he continues his offensive arsenal during the June period. A good lookn’ floor game!”
• Darrion Jones 6-1 FR PG Chicago Bogan/Illinois Wolves
“Throw-back lead guard, has the abilities to be a real leader/quarterback, reminds many of us long-time observers of the back-court players Chicago use to often produce years ago (1970’s, 80’s, & 90’s). D.J. is strong, slick, and can manufacture well off-the-bounce. His game is starting to resemble a winning formula. Top 10 in a deep 2021 class.”
• Bryce Hopkins 6-6 JR G Fenwick/Mokan
“Marvelous talent, arguably one of the top 3 players in the state regardless of class. Can flat-out score in a variety, has nice length on the perimeter. It’s refreshing to see an up-coming player like him in our state.”
• Louis Lesmond 6-5 JR G/F Nile’s Notre Dame/Illinois Wolves
“Rapidly emerging as a Top 5 prospects in a talent rich 2021 class. Slithery smooth scorer who is awfully skilled, plays with un-flappable presence. Can really stroke-it-on the perimeter with range. Has an offer from Illinois & Northwestern.”
• Armond Williams 6-8 SR F East St. Louis/Illinois Jets
“Slender front-courter, starting to round into a player with enormous up-side, after sitting most of last season while gaining the necessary experience needed to elevate his game/play. Patience is starting to pay dividends, Armond’s future seems to be on the perimeter even though he presently hails as a rim protector defensively. Top 25-30 in 2020 class.”
• Ahamad Bynum 6-2 JR G Chicago Simeon/Mac Irvin Fire
“Black-cat has those intangibles that makes him a very special player. When he’s out on the perimeter draining jumpers, combined with breaking defenders down in the open court, he can be surgical. One of our prized prospects in the city. Top 5 in the 2021 class.”
• John Poulakidas 6-5 JR WG Neuqua Valley/Y&R
“Left-hander has performed his way to top 10 in the class, a true indicator by his recent offer from Rutgers. John has a penchant for making tough shots, in fact he loads them up with some accuracy. One of the best shooters in the area.”
• Tyler Beard 6-2 SR G Whitney Young/Bradley Beal Elite
“Explosive cager in the open-floor where he shows off his mega athleticism. Plays hard & is a very good defender, outside shooting has begun to surface as a reliable weapon. Beard is recognized as top 5 rated player in the class of 2020.
• Ryan Isaacson 6-7 SR F Hinsdale Central/Lock-Down
“Slender fella opened some eyes when he dropped 27 on Leo H.S. Sunday morning-drawing rave reviews about his ability to be a big shot-maker during crunch time. Isaacson created a trail of Patriot/Ivy League pursuers over to the Ridgewood shoot-out the following weekend. Rising prospect.”
