Coreyoun Rushin (Westinghouse – 2017)
Rushin is the man for a Westinghouse team that will need him to score, rebound, and defend. We see him doing all of them at a high level.
Terry Smith Jr (Curie – 2017)
Smith has been a junk yard dog for a Curie team that will look to defend their state title. He will be a force on the glass and we look for more point production as well.
Dorian Aluyi (Lincoln Way North – 2017)
Aluyi put his name on the map this summer for Team RWA. The athletic and versatile wing should be the go to threat for LWN.
Donita Johnson (Romeoville – 2018)
Johnson has all the upside in the world! Great size, build, and athleticism at 6’6”. If he puts it all together Johnson could have a big year.
Ethan Schuemer (Willowbrook – 2018)
Long and lanky combo forward that is versatile. He might put Willowbrook back on map post Alonzo Verge.
Naseer Turner (Kenwood – 2018)
Turner is a silky smooth and projectable wing. He just needs an opportunity to get on the floor consistently. Should happen this season.
Kai Bates-Diop (Normal U-High – 2019)
The younger KBD is ready to step out of big brothers footsteps and make an impact on the high school scene. Should excel hitting spot up threes off Keondre Schumacher drives.
Johnny Roeser (Carmel – 2019)
Big time upside out of Roeser. Look for the skilled wing to breakout this year as he is one of the premier sophomore wing prospects.
