Tsvet Sotirov Tsvet Sotirov 6'7" | PF Rolling Meadows | 2023 State IL (Full Package)
Really like what we saw out of this four man at the end of the season and it has continued over to the circuit. Face up four with legit size at 6’7” and a good frame. Plus shooter that is at his best offensively as a floor stretcher.
Rokas Castillo Rokas Castillo 5'11" | PG Lemont | 2023 State IL (Full Package)
Castillo did a nice job running the show for Full Package. Excellent distributor that did a quality job setting up his teammates while mixing in scoring hitting threes.
Foster Ogbonna Foster Ogbonna 6'4" | PF Rolling Meadows | 2023 State IL (Full Package)
Ogbonna is a strong bodied power forward that rebounds well in traffic and competes on the defensive end. What stood out over the weekend was his three-point shooting. Picked his spots and was effective at knocking down spot up triples.
Mark Nikolich-Wilson Mark Nikolich-Wilson 6'7" | C Rolling Meadows | 2023 State IL (Full Package)
This Rolling Meadows five man has been outstanding all spring for Full Package. They run their offense through him quite a bit with how well he slices up the defense. Crafty finisher around the hoop with a nice hook shot. The wide bodied post also did a nice job stepping out to hit a couple threes.
Jackson Niego Jackson Niego 6'0" | PG Lyons Township | 2023 State IL (Chicago Lockdown)
Niego is a crisp lead guard that plays the game as a true floor general. Makes sound passes setting up his teammates while also finding a way to score. Good shooter especially off the catch. Going to be an excellent small college guard.
Lawson Walker Lawson Walker 6'3" | SG Home School | 2023 IL (M14 Adidas)
Home school product is a strong bodied two guard that loves to attack downhill with his power game, hit the offensive glass, and can connect on an occasional three. Sleeper in 2023.
Donovan Collins (M14 Adidas)
Collins is a rangy combo guard that hit three triples in the game that we evaluated. Smooth ball handler that can push in the open floor and has some playmaking upside.
Tyler Jasek (M14 Adidas)
Face up four that is at his best as a spot up threat. Hit three from beyond the arc in the game we saw. Best off the catch. Strong frame allows him to rebound and is a crafty defender as well.
