Point Guards
Jalen Houston Jalen Houston 6'0" | PG Hyde Park | 2021 NC (Bogan – 2021)
Houston is a strong bodied lead guard that pushes pace and is dynamic with his speed. Made the move from Hyde Park and should slide right into the starting lead guard role for an always competitive Bogan squad.
Brylan Phillips Brylan Phillips 6'0" | PG Decatur Macarthur | 2022 State IL (Decatur MacArthur – 2022)
Phillips made noise transferring to a school across town when he switched from Decatur Eisenhower to Decatur MacArthur. The junior will provide scoring along with getting his other weapons involved.
Darrin Ames Darrin Ames 6'1" | PG Kenwood | 2023 State #99 Nation IL (Kenwood – 2023)
Explosive lead guard that can score from all three levels. Deep range on his shot with a spectacular pull up game. Made the move over with Taylor and Loury from Morgan Park to Kenwood.
Ahmere Carson Ahmere Carson 5'11" | PG Morgan Park | 2023 IL (Orr – 2023)
Orr has always been successful with transfers over the years. Carson was a hyped freshman last year at Morgan Park. We will see if he can take his game to another level with Orr.
Wings
Isaiah Barnes Isaiah Barnes 6'5" | SG Simeon | 2021 State #139 Nation IL (Simeon – 2021)
The Michigan commit is the big time senior Simeon transfer for the Wolverines that has become an annual thing at this point. Very projectable and athletic wing that will be impactful playing next to Ahamad Byunm.
Jeffrey Oakley Jeffrey Oakley 6'5" | SF Corliss | 2021 State IL (Corliss – 2021)
Oakley transferred from Corliss from Perspectives for his final year of high school. Explosive two way wing that has improved his perimeter game and should get some more D1 consideration.
Damaricies Moore (Longwood – 2021)
Moore is a long and strong wing that brings versatility and really elevated his stock with Team MORE this summer on the circuit.
Mac Parmelee Mac Parmelee 6'4" | SG Dunlap | 2021 State IL (IVC – 2021)
This Illinois Hoopstars wing is making the move from Dunlap to IVC for his final high school campaign.
Johnny Melvin (Orr – 2021)
Melvin is a transfer to Orr from the state of Texas. The 6’4” wing has created some buzz heading into the season with his transition scoring and bounce.
Christian Jones Christian Jones 6'4" | SG East St. Louis | 2022 State IL (East St. Louis – 2022)
Jones intrigued us toward the end of the high school season as a sophomore at Granite City. The wiry scoring two guard will now be taking his talents to East St. Louis for the next two years.
Keynan Davis (Romeoville – 2022)
This wiry and explosive scoring wing will bring Romeoville immediate scoring pop from the perimeter.
Anthony Wrzeszcz Anthony Wrzeszcz 6'4" | SG Lake Forest Academy | 2023 IL (Lake Forest Academy – 2023)
A rare out of state (in this case country) get in this year’s transfer group. Skilled wing from Canada that can light it up from three.
Raeshom Harris Raeshom Harris 6'4" | SG Bloom | 2023 State IL (Bloom – 2023)
Combo guard that has really improved as a ball handler and playmaker. Showed flashes last season he can score from multiple levels.
