Kennedy Brown Kennedy Brown 6'8" | PF Bogan | 2020 State IL (Bogan)
Ranking: #28
Brown was in the rankings, then out, and now finishes back in. The reason was because he transferred to an out of state prep school in Georgia. Brown returned just in time to finish the season out with Bogan. The power forward has good size, mobility, and the ability to make an impact on both ends. Best basketball is ahead of him. Most likely will reclass to the 2021 class and attend a prep school next season.
Kyle Ingram Kyle Ingram 6'7" | PF Sacred Heart Griffin | 2020 State IL (Sacred Heat Griffin)
Ranking: #59
Ingram put his name on our radar with his play against Normal U-High during the second half of the season. Stands at 6’7” with the ability to shoot it from three point range where he hit a trio of them in that contest. Quality shot preparation and clean looking shooting stroke. The lengthy post showed he could score inside on quick moves and be effective in the mid-range. Liked what he displayed as a distributor with quite a few outstanding passes.
Davaris Macklin Davaris Macklin 6'5" | SF Carbondale | 2020 State IL (Carbondale)
Ranking: #107
Macklin put himself on our radar with his performance at the Salem Invitational Tournament in January. Stands at 6’4” with quality length. The lefty has a clean looking stroke on his jumper especially from mid-range where he drilled several pull ups. Also connected on a corner three. Moves well away from the ball and sealed at the cup for a bucket. Has some projectability and two way potential at the small college level.

Jabril Olivaria Jabril Olivaria 5'10" | PG East St. Louis | 2020 State IL (East St. Louis)
Ranking: #172
Olivaria worked his way into the starting lineup for the Flyers and was a sparkplug on a team already loaded with ranked 2020 prospects. The senior guard was a key for his squad igniting them with his speed and defensive intensity. Scores with speed and quickness. Flashes as a shooter.
Jackson Creel Jackson Creel 6'3" | SG Mt. Vernon | 2020 State IL (Mt. Vernon)
Ranking: #176
Creel has been close to making the rankings the last several times, but made a big move to inside the top 200 in the final edition. Quality size and is a plus shooter from beyond the arc. Moves well without the ball and is sniper from deep. Showed in the second half of the season improved ball handling and an all-around game.
