TOP PROSPECTS IN 2022 CLASS

The start to what we believe will be a rapidly growing listing of talented youngsters surfacing throughout the class, in which already bolsters 10 players six- foot or seven or better. We will be fixated on the continuance growth & development of these highly notable under-classmen. We will do our best to accurately identify them.

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

• A.J. Casey 6-9 F 1 Tinley Park
“Talented lad, widely considered a top 15-20 national prospect. His highly publicized transfer out of Simeon this spring brought on some unwanted attention for him and his family. Trust that intuitive observers will watch closely at how his development will shape in his new environment.”

• Jaylen Drane 6-1 PG 2 Simeon
“Talented youngster, lately his development has looked sketchy. His play looks loose, but he’s expected to stabilize the back court this upcoming season.”

• Robby Avila 6-8 F 3 Oak Forest
“Love his game/play, very efficient. Has an un-orthodox style where he keeps defenders off balance. Robby has excellent foot work. Now expanding his skills/game.”

• Kyle Thomas 6-9 C 4 St. Joseph
“Big fella is starting to emerge as a reliable mid-range shot-maker, rebounder & rim protector. Most projections have Kyle slated to be at the top of class when it all shakes out.”

• Kameron Kraft 6-4 WG 5 Buffalo Grove
“Left-hander had an impressive freshman campaign already billed as one of the state’s top marksmen.”

• Jamauri Winfrey 6-3 F 6 Peoria Richwoods
“Sources down in Central Illinois has touted him as the next big-time player in the area. We saw him at the Spot-Lite MLK Classic. Smooth scorer with a strong physical frame.”

• Lane McVicar 6-3 G 7 South Elgin
“Has the physical attributes to be a terrific player. We saw him at the Morris Shoot-out recently. He can shoot, handle, & create for himself & mates.”

• Ben Vander 6-5 WG 8 Timothy Christian
“Slender wing who can get buckets in a flurry, capable of shooting off the catch or the dribble.”

• Bobby Durkin 6-3 G/F 9 Hinsdale South
“Has shown all-around ability to score huge but also share with his mates. Has had a strong summer.”

• Kanye Smith 6-5 WF 10 Whitney Young
“Potentially a future break-out stud, currently going through apprenticeship process, playing in the shadows of talented teammates, where he’s ever learning his strengths & weaknesses.”

• Nick Martinelli 6-5 WF 11 Glenbrook South
“A high-scoring wing, along with his brother Dom will form a serious scoring duel this season. A promising looking prospect.”

• Jaden Schutt 6-4 WG 12 Yorkville
“This kid is already heavily revered in his town. Hailed as a potential big-time scorer. Hooped with the Illinois Wolves.”

• Donovan Jones 6-0 PG 13 Solario
“Young cager put in some astounding outings his first season of varsity play. Some area folks feel he could develop into an elite prospect.”

• Mikqwon Jones 6-3 G 14 Farragut
“Has the play/craft of an upper-classmen, can make plays & shots. Also, he’s a match-up nightmare, capable of posting up smaller players in the paint.”

“This kid is the traditional inside threat; rebounds extremely well, blocks shots at high rate. Right now, he has limited scoring capabilities nor does it affect his game/or play.”

• Kaleb Burton 6-0 G 16 O’Fallon

“High energy/mobile big fella, plays with emotion that sometimes impact his play which we witnessed at Riverside-Brookfield. Has the foreseeable potential to become top-notch prospect.”

• Mikel Jones 6-3 PG 20 Farragut
“More of a facilitator than his twin, strong physical frame, who rebounds well and can shoot with some long-range ability.”

• Tray Pettigrew 6-1 PG 21 Fenwick
“Gained a wealth of experience as the starting point-guard on the varsity where he admirably held his own against some stiff competition. He has a nice floor game.”
