Brady Sehlhorst Brady Sehlhorst 6'6" | SF Niles Notre Dame | 2025 State IL (Niles Notre Dame – 2025)
It was a monster day for this young Niles Notre Dame wing. At 6’6” the rising sophomore presents good size and he has the skill to match. Plus shooter that let it fly from distance with consistency. He also was able to put it on the deck with quality handles and crash the offensive glass. Projectable and lanky frame to grow into!
Darshan Thomas Darshan Thomas 6'6" | SF Marist | 2024 State IL (Fenwick – 2024)
Thomas had a monster showing as one of the breakout players of the event. This 6’4” small forward was explosive slashing using his long strides to get to the rim where he finished with dunks. High-motor kid that has a nose for the ball. Showed he was capable as a shooter as well hitting several threes.
Antonio Munoz Antonio Munoz 6'6" | SF Whitney Young | 2025 State #194 Nation IL (Whitney Young – 2025)
The Whitney Young wing came into the event as the top prospect in attendance and left as the same. Munoz put on a show at the rim with an array of dunks to close out the camp. It was his ability to break down defenders off the bounce and get to the rim or charity stripe on a consistent basis that stood out. Elite finisher when in the open floor!
Edvin Bosnjak Edvin Bosnjak 6'8" | PF Schaumburg | 2023 State IL (Schaumburg – 2023)
One of my colleagues and I were talking about how this prospect came out of nowhere. Hard to imagine a way this 6’7” four man would fall so far under the radar. Great length and athletic pop putting it on the deck. Threw down some nasty one handed dunks.
Maurice Thomas Maurice Thomas 6'1" | PG Depaul Prep | 2023 State IL (DePaul Prep – 2023)
Thomas is primed for a senior season to reestablish his name. Early in his career he showed well and then has been off the radar for a while. Was outstanding on Saturday knocking in an array of threes spotting up along with pulling up. He also has a sweet runner game and was active on defense.
Jaloni Johnson Jaloni Johnson 6'4" | SG Proviso East | 2023 State IL (Proviso East – 2023)
Want a bucket getter? That is exactly what this Proviso East standout does. One of the top scorers available still in the 2023 class. Silky smooth offensive repertoire with an effortless three point shot, smooth handles, and the ability to finish at a high level in transition. Best play of the day was when he swatted a shot defensively then finished on the other end from his two guard spot.
Jonah Funk Jonah Funk 6'9" | C El Paso Gridley | 2025 State IL (El Paso Gridley – 2025)
Funk was a flat out stud! In my first look at the 2025 the 6’8” five man could not have been more impressive. He has a long and lanky frame with broad shoulders that should allow him to continue to fill out as time goes on during his career. He threw down monster dunks all day long showing explosiveness off the floor on a regular basis with quick and fluid moves. Excellent shot blocker and awareness on the defensive end.
Daniel Pauliukonis Daniel Pauliukonis 6'8" | SF Benet | 2025 State IL (Benet – 2025)
This 6’7” power forward was the other twin tower on the same squad as Funk. Rail thin and baby faced post has a ton of tools to work with moving forward. Rim runner, spin moves, and showed a good feel when handling it himself. Put it on the deck for a few buckets and is a solid passer.
Keshaun Vaval (Marist – 2025)
Marist scoring point guard did not disappoint! He was electric with the rock in his hands getting to the basket! Won off the dribble blowing right past his opponent on numerous occasions! Burst with the rock in his hands and has an array of acrobatic finishing moves. Pesky on ball defender that puts pressure on the opposing guards.
Amari Edwards Amari Edwards 5'8" | PG Phillips | 2025 State IL (St. Rita – 2025)
Edwards is a quick and shifty lead guard that wins off the bounce and does a nice job of changing gears to make plays and keep the defense off balance. Likes to use his handles in space shaking opponents which he did several times. Capable three point shooter which is what we saw mostly as a freshman with his spot up ability.
