Kizer is a long and lanky combo forward that brings freak athleticism to the table. Has skill potential. We are waiting to see him define who he is as a player.
Jake Hamilton Jake Hamilton 6'3" | SG Sacred Heart Griffin | 2023 State IL (Sacred Heart Griffin)
Rankings: #45
Hamilton is a skilled and crafty small forward that loves to score in the paint with nifty finishes. Spin move in the lane is one of his go to moves and can also post up smaller defenders.
Raeshom Harris Raeshom Harris 6'4" | SG Bloom | 2023 State IL (Bloom)
Rankings: #46
Harris is a slender built 6’3” combo guard that plays both on and off the ball. Nice looking quick passes. Smooth slasher that finds holes in the defense. Shows well defensively.
KJ Cobb KJ Cobb 6'0" | SG Perspectives | 2023 State IL (Bloom)
Rankings: #47
Cobb is a physical 6’0” guard that has been known more for playing off the ball, but at the Chicago Lockdown scrimmage we liked his playmaking feel at the point. He was really good working around ball screens whether it was with his passing or pull up jump shooting. Also is a threat to go to the hoop off the screen where he finishes with strength inside. Sound pull up jump shooter from both mid-range and three.
Nate Kwiecinski Nate Kwiecinski 6'7" | SF Cushing Academy | 2024 State NLG (Loyola)
Rankings: #48
Skilled forward that at 6’6” can stretch the floor with his shooting although it is streaky at times. Also flashes handling in transition, passing, and putting it on the deck for athletic scores.
Alex Engro Alex Engro 6'2" | SG Loyola Academy | 2023 State IL (Loyola)
Rankings: #53
Engro is a sophomore shooting guard with nice length and athleticism on the perimeter. He knocked down shots at a high clip at the Details Training workouts. Quick and concise release on his shot. Also has crisp ball handling which sets up his shot nicely.
Jaloni Johnson Jaloni Johnson 6'4" | SG Proviso East | 2023 State IL (Proviso East)
Rankings: #62
Johnson is a good sized guard at 6’3” with a sound pull up game from 15-18 feet that he can stretch out to three. Projectability with his length which he uses getting steals before taking it coast to coast. Could be next impact Proviso East wing.
