Addison Lubert (St. Viator – 2017)
Lubert established himself among the top posts in the senior class over the summer. We expect him to be a major impact guy all season.
Alex Filo (Neuqua Valley – 2017)
Strong and sturdy back to the basket player that rebounds and fights on the interior. Size to beat up smaller defenders down low.
Isa Maguire (Lindbloom – 2018)
Goes to a non-tradition basketball school, but the top junior center has projectability and the potential to take a step forward this year.
Mick Sullivan (Marimon Academy – 2018)
Big and physical center that can step out and has improved his mobility. Should be go to man on the block for his team.
Ryan Davis (Conant – 2018)
Davis will provide some strength and rebounding inside for Conant. One to watch closely this season.
Ben Wolf (Marian Central Catholic – 2018)
Wolf is a strong post that rebounds well and should be able to score in the post consistently at the high school level.
Francis Okoro (Normal West – 2019)
Okoro is the top 2019 prospect in the state and is well known to scouts and college coaches. Fans in central Illinois are going to be raving about this kid by mid-season!
Ciaran Brayboy (New Trier – 2019)
It was his 2019 teammate that got a lot of the pub last year, but Brayboy proved he is a legit D1 center this summer.
Taeyon Neal (Providence St. Mel – 2019)
Neal has great size and strength in the post. He will have the opportunity to be the man for St. Mel this year.
