Devon Vanderheydt Devon Vanderheydt 6'7" | PF Washington | 2021 State IL (Washington)
This Washington High School standout first put his name on our radar last summer with Peoria Area Elite. The 6’6” face up four can really stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting. Brings toughness and strength to the table too. Can play some three man as well.
Rickey Woods Rickey Woods 6'5" | SG Bloomington | 2021 IL (Bloomington)
Woods is a super athletic two guard that has the physical profile to be a quality prospect at the next level. Last fall at the Spartz Fall Showcase he broke out with his multi-level scoring ability and lock down capabilities on the defensive end.
Christian Henry Christian Henry 6'1" | PG St. Rita | 2021 State IL (St. Rita)
Henry is a scoring point guard that can get buckets in bunches. We saw that throughout the season where the microwave scorer would go off in stretches putting his team on his back.
Phillip Holmes Phillip Holmes 6'7" | C Simeon | 2021 State IL (Simeon)
Holmes is under the radar as he didn’t get a ton of tick for Simeon last season. When he did get in there he flashed as a rim protector, rebounder, and finisher. Skill level needs to improve, but there are tools to work with for the Simeon post!
Nathan Hall Nathan Hall 6'7" | PF Collinsville | 2021 State IL (Collinsville)
Hall played a complimentary role for the Kahoks this season and did it to perfection. He is a face up four that can stretch the floor with his shooting. Solid athlete that has some bounce to his game. Should see his stock rise over the next year as he will now be the go to player for Collinsville.
Jaylen Bryson Jaylen Bryson 7'0" | PF Champaign Centennial | 2021 State IL (Champaign Centennial)
Bryson is a long and lanky five man with tons of projectability. He is a high ceiling post that last July started to show some of that upside. The Champaign Centennial post forward runs the floor, plays above the hoop, and can protect the rim. Just scratching the surface of his upside. Did pick up a UMass offer in April.
Tyler Van Eekeren Tyler Van Eekeren 6'5" | SF Benet | 2021 State IL (Benet)
Van Eekeren is a three and D wing. Plus shooter on the offensive end that is at his best spotting up for triples. He has a chance to be a quality defender down the line with his anticipation and toughness.
