Chicago Elite Classic Schedule
The Chicago Elite Classic has become one of the premier events in not only the state of Illinois, but across the country! The schedule for the event has been released. It will be held at UIC Pavilion on December 4th and 5th.
It is loaded with prospects ranked inside the top 10 in their classes including 2016’s Charlie Moore (Morgan Park), Zack Norvell (Simeon), and Mike Smith (Fenwick). In 2017 it also has the top prospect in Jeremiah Tilmon (East St. Louis) along with Christian Negron (Larkin), Nojel Eastern (Evanston), and Evan Gilyard (Simeon). The 2018 group has half of the top 10 in the field led by Kezo Brown (Simeon), Ayo Dosunmu (Morgan Park), Messiah Jones (Simeon), Justin Boyd (Whitney Young), and Chase Adams (Marian Catholic).
The national headliners are stellar as well. They are headed by Chaminade out of St. Louis who feature the top prospect in the nation and potential number one pick in the 2017 NBA Draft Jayson Tatum along with other D1 talent Tyler Cook, Will Gladson, Mike Lewis, Reggie Crawford, and Jericole Hellems. Other national standouts include Washington commit and top 20 prospect Markelle Fultz (Dematha) and his junior running mate DJ Harvey (Dematha). Miller Grove out of Georgia will bring UConn point guard commit Alterique Gilbert who is among the most electric playmakers in the nation.
