Ramean Hinton Ramean Hinton 6'4" | SG Curie | 2020 State #181 Nation IL (Curie)
The top uncommitted prospect on the board is this Curie two guard. Tough as nails and is a quality two way player that makes an impact on both ends. Right now Hinton told PHI the teams that he has been in communication with include Colorado State, Murray State, Southern Illinois, and Tulsa. He reopened his recruitment after the coaching change at SEMO.
Brandon Lieb Brandon Lieb 6'10" | C Deerfield | 2020 State IL (Deerfield)
Lieb is the top center on the board. The 6’11” five man has great size and length. Once he gets in a college strength program he should be set to go with an already impressive skill set around the hoop. When it comes to recruiting Lieb said he is talking with San Francisco, Tulsa, SIU-Edwardsville, and Purdue Ft. Wayne. He had previously received offers from IUPUI and Western Illinois.
Aaron Tims Aaron Tims 6'7" | PF Hinsdale South | 2020 State IL (Hinsdale South)
Tims is one of the best post prospects remaining on the board. High level offensive rebounder that gets second chance points and has potential as a mid-range player. He landed an offer from one of the top JUCO programs nationally Vincennes this past week.
UPDATE: Tims committed to Vincennes on Sunday night!
Elijah Watson Elijah Watson 6'6" | PF TF South | 2020 State IL (TF South)
This is an intriguing stretch four that is more than comfortable putting it on the deck. He says he holds offers from Barton JC, Trinity International, and Olive-Harvey. Also receiving interest from West Liberty and Wayne State. Only school he has visited was Quincy prior to travel being shut down.
Justin Moore Justin Moore 6'2" | PG Bloom | 2020 State IL (Bloom)
Moore is a strong point guard that can hit an open shot and was a consistent performer throughout his career in a reserve role on a stacked Bloom squad. On the recruiting front he tells PHI he has interest from Culver-Stockton, Hartnell, Lewis-Clark State, Cloud County CC, Lakeland University, Kirkwood CC, Judson University, Loras College, and an offer from Moraine Valley. Moore also mentioned that prep schools are starting to pursue him as well which could be an option.
Rron Thaci Rron Thaci 6'6" | SF Jones | 2020 State IL (Jones)
This skilled forward is a plus shooter that posted excellent numbers in the CPS. He holds two NAIA offers from Judson and Govenors State. Also has interest from McKendree, Illinois Tech, Ripon, Culver Stockton, North Central, Virginia Military Institute, Lewis, and McNeese State. He is looking to decide sometime in late April.
Commitments
Nate Seputis Nate Seputis 6'9" | C Lincoln Way East | 2020 State IL (Lincoln Way East)
Seputis is a skilled five man that has potential as a rim protector at the next level. The 6’9″ big man checks in at #80 overall in the PHI Rankings. This past week he made his decision to go to Illinois Wesleyan for his college basketball.
Josiah Palmer Josiah Palmer 6'3" | SG Homewood Flossmoor | 2020 State IL (Homewood Flossmoor)
Big pick up for UW-Parkside as they landed on of the more underrated scoring guards in the south suburbs in Palmer. Wiry combo guard that has potential as a multi-level scorer. Checks in at #88 overall in the final PHI Rankings!
Joel Watts Joel Watts 5'9" | PG Homewood Flossmoor | 2020 State IL (Homewood Flossmoor)
This quick 5’9″ point guard is shifty with the ball in his hands. Pushes the tempo and has deep range on his three point shot. The #130 prospect in the senior class committed to Joliet Junior College on Saturday!
Devin Cheaney Devin Cheaney 6'9" | C Batavia | 2020 State IL (Batavia)
The big man from Batavia who burst on our radar over the last year committed to Hope College this past week. Should be a quality post at the small college level. Cheaney was the #170 senior in the latest PHI Rankings.
Ryan Weir Ryan Weir 6'3" | SF Pontiac | 2020 State IL (Pontiac)
Another quality small college prospect came off the board on Monday as this Pontiac big bodied forward committed to Loras. Productive player that always brought it when we saw him at the Pontiac Holiday Tournament.
Will Wainscott Will Wainscott 6'3" | SG Marmion Academy | 2020 State IL (Marmion Academy)
Wainscott lit up the nets when we saw him over the summer with the Hoopers. Long and thin two guard that can really get hot from beyond the arc. Quality pick up for Concordia University in Chicago where he committed earlier this week.
