Keynan Davis (Young & Reckless Brim 17U)
Davis has opened up eyes of college coaches and scouts over the last couple months with his shooting from deep. Good size small forward that can let it fly from deep at a solid clip along with being a versatile defender.
Max Love Max Love 6'5" | SF St. Charle North | 2022 State IL (HIT 17U)
Love has been incredibly consistent during June and July. The St. Charles North wing is a plus shooter with a clean and feathery stroke from the perimeter. Priority small college recruit.
Ben Ahmer (Fundamental U 17U)
Ahmer has emerged during July for Fundamental U Grey. The two guard is a good role player that can put it on the deck for runners and hit an open three. Fits in wherever needed. Decent passer as well.
Evan Porto Evan Porto 6'2" | PG Stevenson | 2022 State IL (Fundamental U 17u)
Porto from Stevenson is a high-motor combo guard that makes plays. Plays with a lot of passion for the game knocking in shots, hitting tough layups, and making crisp passes.
Timaris Brown Timaris Brown 6'6" | PF St. Patrick | 2022 State IL (Young & Reckless/Authentic Basketball 17U)
Brown played some of his best basketball we have seen this spring/summer. Combo forward from St. Patrick that was quick to the offensive glass, slashed it from the mid-post, and scored with toughness in the paint. Brought a lot of energy off the bench for Y&R.
Will Grudzinski Will Grudzinski 6'6" | PF Barrington | 2022 State IL (Young & Reckless/Authentic Basketball 17U)
Grudzinski is a plus spot up shooter who absolutely loves letting it fly from the corners where he hits at a high clip. Combo forward brings his biggest value as a shooter, but it is his ability to put it on the deck with toughness that helped boost his stock in Dallas.
Xavier Lewis Xavier Lewis 6'7" | PF Tf South | 2022 State IL (Young & Reckless/Authentic Basketball 17U)
Lewis is a bouncy post that loves to using his athleticism finishing above the rim with explosive slams. Dives to the rim, runs the floor, and throws down alley-oops. Right handed hook shots and is quick to the offensive glass for put backs. Was an active and mobile defender as well.
Steve Turner Steve Turner 6'8" | C Simeon | 2023 State IL (Young & Reckless 16U)
Wide bodied five man from Simeon had a nice outing when we saw him in Dallas. Carves out space on the interior gaining deep post position scoring with quick over the shoulder moves. Rebounds well in his area and is light on his feet for how big he is.
Koen Derry Koen Derry 6'7" | PF Galesburg | 2022 State IL ( Archangels 17U)
Derry hails from Galesburg and this combo forward has a face up game where he can hit from mid-range, seal on the block, and get out in transition. Priority small college player.
Alexandre Egipciago ( Archangels 17U)
Thick bodied 6’1” point guard that loves to attack in the open floor and get to the rim. Finishes well with either hand at the rack. Good passing feel. An Illinois small college should jump in on him and his brother!
