Commitments
Jaden Schutt Jaden Schutt 6'5" | SG Yorkville Christian | 2022 State #42 Nation IL (Yorkville Christian)
Since our last notebook there was huge news as the state’s top senior came off the board. Schutt took an official visit to Duke and saw all he needed committing to the Blue Devils less than a week later. Big time scorer that can get buckets from all three levels.
Tavari Johnson Tavari Johnson 6'0" | PG Lyons Township | 2022 State #171 Nation IL (Lyons)
Johnson leads a nice list of point guard commitments this week. The LT floor general is a ball screen savant with the way he operates getting himself and teammates the looks they want. Narrowed it down to four and ultimately decided he would commit to Akron.
Cooper Noard Cooper Noard 6'2" | PG Glenbrook South | 2022 State IL (Glenbrook South)
Not too often in high school basketball recruiting do we have “flips”. This is as close to one as we have seen in recent memory. Noard was committed to Army West Point for several weeks then decommitted. Within a few days he had committed to Cornell.
Bryce Moore Bryce Moore 6'5" | PG Carmel | 2022 State IL (Carmel)
Moore has steadily seen his stock rise up the board over the last year. The athletic two-way guard garnered quite a bit of interest at the D1 level and ultimately chose Niagara this past week.
Dylan Arnett Dylan Arnett 6'9" | PF DePaul Prep | 2022 State IL (DePaul Prep)
UW-Milwaukee scored a nice commitment from Illinois with a verbal from this DePaul Prep post. Arnett came on strong during June with his improved conditioning and pop around the hoop.
Bobby Durkin Bobby Durkin 6'6" | SF Hinsdale South | 2022 State IL (Glenbard West)
Durkin is one of the truly elite shot makers in the class and Army West Point was all over him sealing the deal shortly after his visit.
Class of 2022 Updates
Trey Pettigrew Trey Pettigrew 6'3" | PG Hillcrest Prep | 2022 State #143 Nation IL (Kenwood)
Pettigrew is the top uncommitted guard on the board. Per reports he looked really good on the first day of open gyms in front of a host of college coaches. Pettigrew tells us that Texas is a school that is picking things up and he is trying to set up a visit. Other schools that are starting to get involved include Miami, Wake Forest, and Nevada.
NJ Benson NJ Benson 6'8" | C Mt. Vernon | 2022 State #238 Nation IL (Mt. Vernon)
PHI was in the house for the first day of open gyms this past Thursday to see Mt. Vernon center NJ Benson NJ Benson 6'8" | C Mt. Vernon | 2022 State #238 Nation IL . The center also had full staffs from Illinois State, Southern Illinois, and SIU-Edwardsville in the house along with Murray State. He has already taken trips to Illinois State and Murray State. He was at Missouri State over the weekend and will finish things up with Southern Illinois this upcoming weekend.
Robbie Avila Robbie Avila 6'9" | PF Oak Forest | 2022 State #225 Nation IL (Oak Forest)
Mr. Slo Mo or Robbie “Buckets” is one of our favorites. We caught up with him where he told us he will visit Indiana State for an official visit this upcoming weekend of September 16-18. Also recently scored an offer from Northern Iowa where he will visit October 1-3.
Justin Mullins Justin Mullins 6'4" | SF Oak Park-River Forest | 2022 State IL (OPRF)
Mullins jumped up to #13 overall in the 2022 class in our latest update. The utility wing landed an offer from Cornell. He was Brown over the weekend for a visit. Follows that up with officials to Denver September 17 and Wright State September 24.
Patrick Robinson Patrick Robinson 6'4" | SG Oswego East | 2022 State IL (Oswego East)
Robinson is coming off a strong summer and picking up quite a bit of interest at the D2 level. He took an official visit to McKendree where he scored an offer and then visited Missouri St. Louis right after.
Class of 2023 Updates
Cameron Christie Cameron Christie 6'4" | SG Rolling Meadows | 2023 State #76 Nation IL (Rolling Meadows)
Another high-major offer for Christie as Marquette was in to see their latest offer on Thursday. One of the premier wings in the 2023 class.

St. Rita Quartet Making Noise
Top 2024 point guard Jaedin Reyna Jaedin Reyna 6'0" | PG Bishop Noll | 2024 State IN landed an offer from in-state Illinois on the first day of open gyms after an impressive showing.
