TOP 30 PROSPECTS IN 2020 CLASS
“Based on what was viewed this spring & summer”
• D.J. Stewart 6-3 G HM 1 Whitney Young“Has slew of high-major offers including DePaul, Loyola, Illinois, and Northwestern. Now he takes his exciting game into the Public League.”
• Adam Miller 6-3 WF HM 2 Morgan Park
“Deadly spot-up shooter enters year two in the Public League where reviews were mixed last year.”
• Tyler Beard 6-3 WG MM+ 3 Whitney Young
“This high-flyer is holding the 3rd spot for now! Has a penchant for big plays, now he needs to work on his ball-handling skills.”
• Isiah Rivera 6-4 G MM+ 4 Geneseo
“Had a summer where he gained some experience & was able to express who he is as a player clearly. July, we saw better athlete than we once pegged.”
• Keshawn Williams 6-2 PG MM+ 5 Bloom
“An exciting/clever talent who has the potential to blossom into a high-major recruit. Pretty good shooter on the perimeter and superb athlete. Plays in the shadows of others.”
• Martice Mitchell 6-10 F/C MM+ 6 Bloom
“Rapidly improving, has shown versatility this summer & indication that his future is awfully bright. Just lacks strength now.”
• Will Wolfe 6-6 WG MM+ 7 Aurora Christian
“Has a lofty rankings now; one of the more impressive prospects in the class. Capable ball-handler, shoots-it well on the perimeter & has nice size in the back-court.”
• Demarius Splunge 6-4 WG MM+-MM 8 Chicago Orr“Demonstrated in July he could score in variety of ways. Physical 2-way threat.”
• Marcus Watson 5-9 PG MM+-MM 9 Morgan Park
“A gamer has an old-school approach to where he’s productive on both ends of the floor. Reminds me of some guards we had in the late 70s.”
• Romelle Howard 6-8 PF/C MM+-MM 10 Lincoln Park
“His game is rounding into form, hits the glass with authority, offensive game is in the developmental stages. Romelle does possess a potent jump hook.”
• Dante Maddox 6-2 PG MM+-MM 11 Bloom
“A fearless scorer, now he’s carving out an understanding of pace/flow & possessions.”
• Destin Whitaker 6-6 WF MM 13 Romeoville
“Development seems to have taken a plunge in the last 6 months, but he’s shown in July that placed in the right setting he could flourish into a fine player. A good out-side shooting threat.”
• Davis Walker 6-3 PG MM 13 (Home School)
“Little known prospect with a terrific floor game, doesn’t look to score much even though he is more than capable. Strong body & rising recruit to follow-up on.”
• Antoine Bloxton 6-2 G MM 14 Chicago Bogan
“Gifted player with tons of tools, but can he forge his talents into a student-athlete type profile? He could be a process worthy of patience!”
• Aquan Smart 6-2 PG MM 15 Niles North
“Lanky talented performer, who can electrify an audience in the open floor, he’s a good finisher at the rim. The ball will be in his hands this season. Aquan is one of our more un-heralded prospects in the class.”
• Ahron Ullis 6-2 PG MM 16 Marian Catholic
“Primed for a break-out season. He’s silver-quick with the ability to score or find open mates. Northwestern seems to be following closely.”
• Bryce Hall 6-2 G MM 17 Chicago Simeon
“The time has come for this youngster to showcase his talented floor game. Bryce opened some eyes with steady play while hoopin’ with the fire in July.”
• Jimarius Sneed 6-5 G/F MM 18 Chicago Crane
“Raw in some areas now but has a look of a promising prospect with a huge up-side. Very good athlete, big hands and he thrives in transition while finishing well.”
• Kaleb Fenelus-Williams 6-5 WF MM 19 Plainfield North
“Good lookin’ prospect, one day we envision him transitioning to the back-court. Kaleb excels in the open-court while his shooting has become reliable. We’re excited about his future.”
• Nate Shockey 6-0 PG MM 20 York“This youngster has game; superb ball-handler/passer who can shoot it as well as score. Was impressive in July at several venues.”
• Beau Frericks 6-2 G MM 21 Cary Grove
“Sleeper type didn’t come into the spring with a huge profile or gaudy numbers but made a splash with big shot capabilities & heady play. Has a strong skill set & a good defender. One of our favorites in the class.”
• Micah Schnyder 6-4 PG MM 22 Chicago Christian
“Plays with array of confidence & flair, has the ability to drain jumpers from deep, sees the floor well as a passer. Injury hampered July.”
• Tarone Kirkwood 5-9 PG MM 23 West Aurora
“One of the surprises of this group. A speedster with shrewd play-making ability. Dangerous mid-range shooter. Fun to watch.”
• Damontae Taylor 6-5 G/F MM 24 Zion-Benton“Mega athleticism can really soar around the rim, average shooter, stock should climb once he develops consistency on & off the floor.”
• Connor Kochera 6-4 G/F MM 25 St. Viator
“A system guy who thrives in structured setting. Knows how to win & possess a high-skill-set. A Patriot League target.”
• Reggie Strong 5-11 PG MM 26 St. Joseph
“Hopefully a change of scenery will help his psyche as well as his confidence/development. This south paw has a crafty game, but he’s sputtered of late.”
• Seryee Lewis 6-7 PF MM 27 Chicago Kenwood
“This summer he has given viewers blemishes of what his potential could look like in a few years. He’s shown agility & the ability to compete. Now rebounding & finishing at the rim will accelerate his profile.”
• Jayson Kent 6-4 PG MM 28 Oak Forest
“Carts a 4.9 GPA & the fact he’s a rising prospect who could amass some gaudy numbers in a break-out Junior year. Highly skilled & shoots it extremely well, and he’s a gym rat.”
• Isiah Burrell 6-4 G/F MM 29 Morgan Park
“Superb athlete, masks as a 2-way player who could defend the opponent’s top offensive threat. Had a really good July.”
• Tremear Fraley 6-7 PF MM 30 Chicago Bogan
“Big tough rebounder has been impressive during the spring & summer. A passionate work-horse in the interior, good athlete with a rising offensive game & huge up-side.”
• D.J. Stewart 6-3 G HM 1 Whitney Young“Has slew of high-major offers including DePaul, Loyola, Illinois, and Northwestern. Now he takes his exciting game into the Public League.”

Updates
Local kid Terrence Shannon’s recent walk down indecisive lane hails as one the more dubious acts of the summer. He created some excitement with his commitment to DePaul then a few days later he de-committed and headed off to IMG in Florida. That probably was a heads-up last-minute decision that bonds well for him right now. An opportunity for him to mature and his game to truly develop.
15 SLEEPERS IN 2019 CLASS
I suggest some schools should be fixated on several of these rising prospects, we’re anticipating many of them to climb the ladder in rankings soon as well as increasing their profile.
