Peyton Alexander – PG – (God’s Gift – 1 2024)
Alexander is a quick and shifty guard who makes his plays just by beating the defense off the dribble. He is smooth with the ball and has good touch inside. He also had a tough and-one in overtime to give his team a one-point win on Friday night.
Trey Brass – PG (Flight Athletics Inc. – 2 2024)
Brass is a competitive guard who did a little bit of everything on Friday night. His team only had 4 players in the first half and 5 in the second half, so he was having to fight all game. He scored it well from the mid-range with the pull-up and a floater. He is better though when he drives to pass to an open player.
Tommy Bredemann – 5’10” PG – St. Ignatius (Illinois Jaguars 2024)
Bredemann is a smaller guard who is a floor general and distributes the ball well. He plays off of two feet and looks to attack but can also shoot it from the mid-range and the three point arc. He is someone that every coach would love to have because of the heart and determination that he showed all weekend.
Danny Connolly – 6’1” PG – St. Charles North (M14 Hoops – 1 National 2024)
Connolly is a tough guard who scored the ball well all weekend. He is a fundamental player who scored it in many ways. He hit four threes in their final game on Saturday night, and he was also able to get into the lane and fight. Connolly’s basketball IQ will make him a very impressive player in the coming years.
Dayvion Johnson Dayvion Johnson 6'1" | SG Yorkville | 2024 IL – 6’0” PG – Yorkville Christian (Flight Athletics Inc. 2024 – 1)
Johnson is a quick, shifty point guard who looks to play make by getting downhill and getting into the lane. He is a creator, and all weekend, he was able to create offense for both himself and his teammates. He did not show much shooting, but he was a great finisher at the rim.
Vincent Rogalski – 5’11” PG – Mundelein (Kessel Heat 2024)
Rogalski is a good scoring guard who did it in many ways. He shot the ball well from the outside, and he plays under control consistently. He can create space off the dribble and scores it both at the rim and off the bounce.
Keshaun Vaval Keshaun Vaval 6'1" | PG Evergreen Park | 2025 State IL (2025) – 6’1” PG – Romeoville (Team Rose Adidas 2024)
Vaval is a 2025 that is playing up, and he was one of the top two players that I saw all weekend. He has an easy plus wingspan right now, and he uses this and his quick first step to get past defenders. He also scored it incredibly well from the outside with 3 triples and some solid drives including a nice spin move at the hole,
