Jemel Jones Jemel Jones 6'2" | SG Eisenhower | 2020 State IL (Eisenhower)
Jones put his name on our radar with a strong outing in the Westmont Holiday Tournament championship game where he displayed a lethal pull up jump shot from all over the floor.
Sincere Key Sincere Key 6'2" | SG Solorio | 2020 State IL (Solorio)
Key is a slick scoring guard that can really put the ball in the hoop! The senior showed he could put up points in bunches with his lengthy frame when we saw him as a senior.
Sami Osmani Sami Osmani 6'1" | SG Oak Lawn | 2020 State IL (Oak Lawn)
What we like about his game is how he does a little bit of everything. Can defend multiple positions. Strong driver that goes at the rim with reckless abandon. Solid shooter. Tough kid that will be a great small college program player!
Josiah Hammons Josiah Hammons 6'2" | SG Curie | 2020 State IL (Curie)
Hammons put his name on the map as a senior. The lefty sniper is a sound spot up shooter that stretched the floor for Curie especially from the corners.
Greg Wells Greg Wells 6'2" | SG Belleville West | 2020 State IL (Belleville West)
Wells transferred to the Maroons from Althoff for his senior year. He is a lefty scoring guard with a silky smooth offensive repertoire. Scores from multiple levels and had a strong senior campaign.
Micah Schnyders Micah Schnyders 6'1" | SG Yorkville Christian | 2020 State IL (Yorkville Christian)
One of the better pure shooting two guards remaining on the board. Will be effective in college moving without the ball and getting open for threes.
Johnny Close Johnny Close 6'2" | SG Rockford Boylan | 2020 State IL (Rockford Boylan)
Close is another sharp shooter with decent size. He is at his best spotting up and moving to get open.
Atharva Athreya Atharva Athreya 6'3" | SG Sandburg | 2020 State IL (Sandburg)
Super long and angular wing that has his best basketball ahead of him. Can score from multiple levels with a feathery jumper.
Brandon Malone Brandon Malone 6'3" | SG Glenbard South | 2020 State IL (Glenbard South)
Malone emerged last summer with Hoops4Health as he put points up in a hurry on a game in and game out basis. Plays with some bounce and had a sweet pull up game.
Nick Smoldt Nick Smoldt 6'2" | SG Plainfield East | 2020 State IL (Plainfield East)
Long and lanky wing that should be an excellent role play at the next level. Defends, boards, and slashes.
Jackson Creel Jackson Creel 6'3" | SG Mt. Vernon | 2020 State IL (Mt. Vernon)
Creel improved throughout his four year career for the Rams. Really good shooter that mixed in an all-around game as his career progressed.
Luke Ervie Luke Ervie 6'1" | SG Freeburg | 2020 State IL (Freeburg)
Tough as nails southern Illinois guard that was well coached and can score with the ball in his hands from inside the arc also stretching it out at times.
Marcus Becton Marcus Becton 6'5" | SG St. Joseph's | 2020 State IL (St. Joseph)
Athletic two guard who flashes go to ability. Needs to improve as a free throw shooter, but definitely has developmental upside.
Dawson Yates Dawson Yates 6'3" | SG Pinckneyville | 2020 State IL (Pinckneyville)
One of the top scorers in small school basketball in southern Illinois. Tough wing that is crafty making plays.
Drew Wollenschlager Drew Wollenschlager 6'2" | SG Normal West | 2020 State IL (Normal U-High)
Wollenschlager is a plus three point shooter that is a sniper when he gets a clean look.
Austin Garbe Austin Garbe 6'2" | SG Carterville | 2020 State IL (Carterville)
Super sleeper from southern Illinois who showed well in camps and with the Illinois Bears. Sound shooter that has some upside.
