Hylton is a 6’8” power forward that just moved to Illinois from Canada. He was dominant at the recent Pangos All-Midwest Frosh/Soph Camp. Bouncy and rangy four man that is quick around the hoop. The part that makes him so special is his ability to stretch the floor out to beyond the three point line with his shooting from deep.

Thomas is the highest ranked center in the sophomore class. He has a big and strong frame which he will continue to add strength to as time goes on. Right now his defense is ahead of his offense. Elite level shot blocker and rebounds well on the defensive end. Big year for his development ahead.
#19 Marcus Watson (Morgan Park – 2020)
Last Year’s Rank: #33
Watson is coming off a strong summer with the Mac Irvin Fire where he was toward the top of the EYBL in both assists and steals. Speedy floor general that sets others up finding his teammates in spots to succeed. The Wake Forest commit is a monster on ball defender that turns defense into offense in a hurry!
#20 Louis Lesmond (Niles Notre Dame – 2021)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
A year ago we were just hearing of this intriguing wing from France. A season and a transfer later Lesmond has become one of the more intriguing wing prospects in the junior class. High level shooter that is primed for a breakout season for Notre Dame!
