Cameron Christie Cameron Christie 6'4" | SG Rolling Meadows | 2023 State #76 Nation IL (Rolling Meadows – 2023)
Christie is the younger brother of the top senior and Michigan State commit. Cam is a big time prospect in his own right. Silky smooth game in the open floor which he showed early and often. He got to the rim where he either scored or was fouled. Couple jumpers on a mid-range shot and corner three
Asa Thomas Asa Thomas 6'6" | SF Lake Forest | 2023 State #91 Nation IL (Lake Forest – 2023)
Thomas is a big wing at 6’6” with a high skill level. Quick release on his shot drilling a pick and pop triple early in the game for one of his two triples. Didn’t score a ton the rest of the game, but was still impactful blocking shots, dishing to shooters, and getting to the cup in the open floor.
Troy Cicero Troy Cicero 6'2" | PG Romeoville | 2023 State IL (Joliet Central – 2023)
Cicero is a lead guard that has a great feel for the game. Was good distributing in the half court finding teammates in the paint and he also had an assist on a live dribble pass with his off hand. His scoring game was the most effective we have seen it. Hit a runner, pair of mid-range jumpers, and a couple threes.
Tyler Van Gorp Tyler Van Gorp 6'10" | C New Trier | 2023 State IL (New Trier – 2023)
Van Gorp is a 6’10” five man that is thin and has long term projectability. The New Trier post rebounded well in traffic on the defensive end and fought hard on the offensive boards for several second chance points. Also had a nice catch in the paint for a bucket.
Brayden Long Brayden Long 6'4" | SF Yorkville Christian | 2023 State IL (Yorkville Christian – 2023)
Long is a tough and skilled two guard that can really shoot it. Hit a corner three along with a turnaround mid-range jumper. Solid passer and rebounds for a guard.
Chris Martin (Mundelein – 2023)
Martin is a 6’6” four man that has broad shoulders and a strong frame. He had a nice outing using his mobility and strength to finish on the interior. Ran the floor hard for transition scores, garnered deep post position, and even put it on the deck a little. Also hit a three off a dribble hand of. Martin is a quality rebounder.
Foster Ogbonna Foster Ogbonna 6'4" | PF Rolling Meadows | 2023 State IL (Rolling Meadows – 2023)
This was a monster performance from Ogbonna. The Christie brothers might get most of the attention at Rolling Meadows, but this 6’4” forward is going to be huge for them down the line. Physical combo forward that plays with a high motor. Runs the floor very well for scores and finishes through contact. The area we came away most impressed with was his shooting. Hit three mid-range jumpers including a turnaround fade away and then stretched it out to three.
Khalil Ross Khalil Ross 6'6" | SF Brother Rice | 2023 State IL (Lincoln Way East – 2023)
Ross stands at 6’6” with a long and angular frame. Played quite a bit on the ball in this game where he showcased a decent passing feel. A couple of turnovers, but overall his ability to play some point-forward adds to his value. The small forward high pointed rebounds on the defensive end and started the break including taking one the length of the floor. Couple blocked shots on the defensive end. Has a chance to develop into a plus defender down the line.
