“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.”
