“It has been a serious challenge to cover this summer since the Virus continues to be a feared outbreak. My preconceived thoughts created the real reality when I did attend a several local events. Not much social distancing was mandated nor enforced! Much of our Top 10 grid remains intact. This is a talented Class collectively.”

Max Christie 6-6 PG HM 1 Rolling
Meadows
“Michigan
State bound will now turn his focus towards a hopeful season and an eye towards
the prestigious McDonald All American game. Consensus Top 20 Player in the
country.”
·
Bryce Hopkins 6-6 G HM 2 Fenwick
“Top
player available in the Class after de-committing from Louisville. A polished scorer
has the offensive tools to be a “go-to-guy” immediately. No one should be
startled if he paves his way to the McDonald game.”
·
Chris Hodges 6-8 PF HM 3 Schaumburg
“Agile
athletic front-courter headed to an ideal situation to where he can continue to
flourish as a rising talent. Relentless, competes at both ends of the floor.
This kid will be a stud in the Big 10. Wisconsin bound.”
·
Ahamad Bynum 6-1 G HM 4 Chicago
Simeon
“Capable
of electrifying audiences with his long-range shooting. Streaky has that
uncanny ability to open-up a game. We saw that during the City Finals, right before
the Pandemic struck. DePaul recruit.”
·
Isaiah Barnes 6-7 WG HM 5 Chicago
Simeon
“University
Michigan bound will take his ultra-smooth talent to the Public League Red South
where he will be a match-up nightmare for defenders. Transferred over form Oak
Park. It’s “Black Cat’s” team but Barnes will arguably be the best player on
the floor most nights.”
·
John Poulakidas 6-5 G/F HM 6 Neuqua
Valley
“This
south paw swingman resembles the 2nd best player available in the
Class, big game shooter recorded 17 points per game last season while nailing
76 three-pointers. Totally un-selfish player for someone so talented. TCU,
DePaul, Stanford, Minnesota, Yale, and George Washington seem in play with his
schools of interest.”
·
Troy D’Amico 6-7 F MM+ 7 Niles Notre Dame
“Southern
Illinois landed a steal with his versatile game/intriguing skill set, this kid
brings winning intangibles with him. Superb passer who averaged 15.6 points
last season and displayed consistent outside shooting. Troy likely will be one
of the top performers at Mean Streets workout today.”
·
Louis Lesmond 6-5 WG MM+ 8 Niles Notre Dame
“His
smooth talent has never been questioned, has the athleticism to be a standout
in the Ivy League (Harvard), it’s just a matter of him putting it-all-together
which would certainly heighten his game as well as his profile. Averaged 16.5
last season.”
·
Anthony Sales 6-1 PG MM+-MM 9 Niles Notre Dame
“The
leader of his team, a scoring playmaker who looks to get buckets, especially in
huge moments. Does have the ability to make plays for his teammates. Averaged
13.6 and a mere 2.6 assist. Southern Illinois, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Grand Canyon
and Miami of Ohio are in the picture. He could opt for football.”
·
Tevin Smith 6-4 G MM+-MM 10 Danville
“Arguably
the No.1 player in Central Illinois, Smith was enjoying a strong season until
an injury shelved him at mid-point. He still managed to average over 20+ per
outing. Since he entered high school, he was widely recognized as one of the
top scorers in the Class. Southern Illinois seems in play for him even though
sources have indicated Oregon is keeping a close watch, just to see how things
will pan out.”
