In early February we spoke and listed some of the top Sophomores in the area. We will resume our conversation regarding several other notable prospects who have also enjoyed a fine season.
NAME / HT / POS / RANK / SCHOOL
• Jaylen Drane 6-1 PG 9 Chicago Simeon
“His poise & leadership was clearly evident on stage in the City Final where they bounced Morgan Park in Championship.”
• Chikere Nwosu 6-3 G/F 10 Lincoln Park
“A stud, swingman skills and a potential defensive stopper. One of the more impressive second year players we saw all season. It was too bad his season got cut short.”
• Mikqwon Jones 6-3 G/F 11 Chicago Farragut
“A tough competitor with a rising game, going to be good as he matures.”
• Cooper Noard 6-2 PG 12 Glenbrook South
“We saw him play three times in the last 3 weeks and each time we saw him, he grew more and more on my belief that he can develop into a sure handed mid major point guard. Plays at a nice pace where he handles the ball well against pressure and makes proper reads and he can shoot on the perimeter with range. Has performed well in some big game settings.”
• Bobby Durkin 6-4 G/F 13 Hinsdale South
“Saw him in a State Sectional Final at Kenwood recently where he went for 15 markers, made huge shots late. The kid showed he can perform in a big game environment and that he has ice water in his veins, unconscious outside shooter. Doesn’t remember any missed attempts.”
• Keynan Davis 6-4 G 14 Hampshire
“Talented good lookn’ prospect; smooth has good length which he uses to get to the cup quickly. Skilled performer could be really good, right now he makes the extra pass way too much. Averages a modest 13.0 nightly.”
• Nick Martinelli 6-7 F 15 Glenbrook South
“Has held his own more than enough in big games, young fella came up huge in a win vs Evanston early. Left hander has shown the ability to come up with huge plays late in games. He’s on track to be a nice prospect. I can see a Patriot League in his future.”
• David Gieser 6-1 G 16 Fenwick
“Poised to be the next notable prospect from the West Suburban school who tends to have an ever-growing crop of young players coming aboard. This kid makes shots and confidence is just a moment or two away.”
• Martel Webb 6-7 F 17 Westinghouse
“Big body performer who is mobile and can get buckets inside or out. Still hasn’t matured enough to where you can see the consistency in his game on nightly basis. He gives you blemishes of what his game could evolve to.”
• Lane McVicar 6-3 WG 18 South Elgin
“A good lookin’ prospect, his team didn’t enjoy the kind of season most had hoped for in the Northwest Suburb. He’s long armed and can glide his way around defenders. Offensive threat with a bright future.”
• Jamauri Winfrey 6-3 F 19 Peoria Richwoods
“Folks down in Central Illinois don’t boast about his early accomplishments or feats (surprisingly because they’re noted for pounding their chest frequently). We saw this kid early on and he showed he can be a prime-time player.”
• Donovan Jones 6-2 PG 20 Chicago Solario
“Sort of plays in obscurity but has made a widely impression that his game is ready to soar. The highly competitive guard did garner All City honorable mention honors.”
• Marcelius Cohen 6-7 PF 21 De La Salle
• Darius Perryman 5-9 G 22 Chicago Clark
• Chris Hammonds Jr. 6-3 WG 23 Lincoln Park
“We’re really excited about this jump shooter’s upside.”
• Tavarius Vinson 6-8 C 24 Chicago Dyett
“A rising prospect to follow.”
• Jalen Kittler 6-1 PG 25 South Shore
