Jaedin Reyna Jaedin Reyna 6'0" | PG Bishop Noll | 2024 State IN (St. Rita)
Overall Ranking: #5
Reyna has established himself as the top point guard early in the game. The St. Rita floor general has an advanced basketball IQ and feel. Always has his head up looking to make a play whether it is dishing or finding a crease to get to the cup. Silky smooth ball handler that makes others better and can score when needed.
Dekwon Brown Dekwon Brown 6'4" | PG Simeon | 2024 #273 Nation IL (Limestone)
Overall Ranking: #9
Brown is the other point guard in the top 10. The Limestone product is an explosive lead guard that plays with burst and speed. More of a scoring combo guard at this stage that wins off the dribble the majority of the time when he has the rock in his hands. Electric in the open floor blowing past opponents and is a capable shooter.
Carlos Harris Carlos Harris 6'1" | SG Curie | 2024 State #283 Nation IL (Curie)
Overall Ranking: #13
Harris is the next in line of strong bodied backcourt players for Curie. The combo guard is built like a truck and impacts the game on both ends. Offensively he is best in transition and as a slasher. Defensively will get in your face making it uncomfortable for opposing guards creating turnovers.
Isaiah Green Isaiah Green 6'1" | PG Thornton | 2024 State IL (Hillcrest)
Overall Ranking: #16
Green has a lot of similarities to past Hillcrest standout guards. Plus athlete with a compact build. His intensity on the defensive end stands out. Best as a slasher, but his decision making and shooting made strides throughout the summer.
Jakob Blakley Jakob Blakley 6'1" | PG Walter Payton | 2024 State IL (Larkin)
Overall Ranking: #20
Blakley is a scoring machine from his point guard spot. The lead guard made the move over to Larkin from Marmion Academy for his sophomore campaign. Loves the stop and pop pull up game and creates off the bounce with the best of them.
Cole Certa Cole Certa 6'4" | SG IMG Academy | 2024 State #129 Nation FL (Bloomington Central Catholic)
Overall Ranking: #22
Certa is a combo guard that has good size being able to play both on and off the ball. Plus shooter that extends his range comfortably beyond the three point arc. Central Illinois backcourt player to track!
Luke Williams Luke Williams 6'2" | PG Naperville North | 2024 State IL (Naperville North)
Overall Ranking: #26
Williams is a plus athlete and two way guard that makes his mark with his defense. Rangy defender and on the offensive end presents an excellent passing feel in the half court dishing the rock to his scorers.
