- Blake Peters Blake Peters 6'1" | SG Evanston | 2021 State IL and Ola Ajiboye Ola Ajiboye 6'8" | PF Evanston | 2021 State IL (Evanston)
In reality any of the first five could have been #1 on this list. We give the slightest of edges to Peters and Ajiboye. The Princeton commit Peters is an elite shooter and winner. Ajiboye is the CPS transfer that can take this team to a whole different level with his scoring and shot blocking inside.
- Ty Johnson Ty Johnson 6'3" | PG Depaul Prep | 2021 State #198 Nation IL and Brian Mathews Brian Mathews 6'8" | C Depaul Prep | 2021 State IL (DePaul Prep)
Two D1 senior commits that should dominate the Chicago Catholic League this season. Johnson has three level scorer and playmaker while Mathews will bruise opponents in the paint.
- Conor Enright Conor Enright 6'1" | PG Mundelein | 2021 State IL and Scottie Ebube Scottie Ebube 6'7" | C Mundelein | 2021 State #247 Nation IL (Mundelein)
These two are headed to Missouri Valley programs next year in Drake and Southern Illinois respectively. Enright runs the show and hits shots. Ebube is a physically imposing post.
- Dalen Davis Dalen Davis 6'0" | PG Whitney Young | 2023 State #167 Nation IL and AJ Casey AJ Casey 6'8" | PF Whitney Young | 2022 State #55 Nation IL (Whitney Young)
For the Dolphins we could have put Thomas and Newell here, but we went with the 2022 and 2023 combo who both project as high-major prospects.
- Darrin Ames Darrin Ames 6'1" | PG Kenwood | 2023 State #99 Nation IL and Javonte Taylor Javonte Taylor 6'7" | PF Donda Academy | 2023 #41 Nation CA-S (Kenwood)
Speaking of young stars that is exactly what you have here in one of the best guards and the premier prospect in 2023.
- Bryce Coleman Bryce Coleman 6'6" | SF Proviso East | 2023 State IL and Kyle Thomas Kyle Thomas 6'8" | C St. Joesph | 2022 State #183 Nation IL (St. Joseph)
Coleman brings shooting and slashing to the table while Thomas is among the best posts in the state regardless of class.
- Caden Pierce Caden Pierce 6'5" | SG Glenbard West | 2022 State IL and Braden Huff Braden Huff 6'11" | PF Glenbard West | 2022 State #58 Nation IL (Glenbard West)
These two got it started last year and are primed to combine for another monster campaign.
- Isaiah Stafford Isaiah Stafford 6'1" | PG Crispus Attucks | 2021 IN and Donaven Younger Donaven Younger 6'8" | C Bolingbrook | 2023 State IL (Bolingbrook)
The vet Stafford is an elite shooter and savvy playmaker. Younger has all the raw tools to be a special young post prospect.
- Tevonta Jackson Tevonta Jackson 6'1" | PG Roosevelt | 2023 State IA and KJ Debrick KJ Debrick 6'7" | C Springfield Lanphier | 2021 State IL (Springfield Lanphier)
Jackson is an athletic lead guard while Debrick is an absolute force on the interior!
- Ahamad Bynum Ahamad Bynum 6'2" | SG Simeon | 2021 State #94 Nation IL and Phillip Holmes Phillip Holmes 6'7" | C Simeon | 2021 State IL (Simeon)
This senior duo will be key for the Wolverines CPS hopes.
- Cooper Noard Cooper Noard 6'2" | PG Glenbrook South | 2022 State IL and Nick Martinelli Nick Martinelli 6'6" | SF Glenbrook South | 2022 State #235 Nation IL (Glenbrook South)
Pair of juniors that are both extremely skilled and are growing with each other after playing roles as sophomores.
- Jordan Rice Jordan Rice 5'7" | PG Rock Island | 2021 State IL and Kai Rios (Rock Island)
Rice runs the show and knocks down key shots. Rios is an emerging post talent with his versatile game.
- Shane Miller Shane Miller 6'2" | PG Springfield | 2021 State IL and Tyvin Garrison Tyvin Garrison 6'5" | PF Springfield | 2021 FL (Springfield)
Miller is a plus pull up shooter while Garrison can stretch the floor himself.
- Darius Duff Darius Duff 6'3" | SG Lake Forest Academy | 2022 State IL and Danny Wolf Danny Wolf 6'9" | PF Northfield Mount Hermon | 2022 #137 Nation IL (Lake Forest Academy)
