Malachi Brown Malachi Brown 6'6" | C Chicago For Agricultural Sciences | 2023 IL (Chicago Agricultural)
Brown is a 6’6” power forward that presents good size and length. Snatched rebounds in traffic and flashed some skill throughout the day. That even included a top of the key three ball. Small colleges and JUCO’s should take a look at this under the radar big man.
Jordan Brown Jordan Brown 6'2" | SG Bloom | 2023 State IL (Bloom)
This was the best we have seen Brown during his career. The angular guard from the south suburbs has added some strength and that helped him getting on the offensive glass. Monster defender and was a solid passer. Best slashing and finishing through contact.
Jalen Calloway Jalen Calloway 6'2" | SG Lincoln Park | 2023 State IL (Lincoln Park)
Calloway put his name on our radar over the summer playing on the Prep Hoops Circuit. Long and thin two guard with a rangy frame. Sound looking three point shooter that also is slippery with the ball when given space.
Brayden Long Brayden Long 6'4" | SF Yorkville Christian | 2023 State IL (Yorkville Christian)
Long has been hurt for the majority of the last two seasons. It was great to see him back out on the floor where he showed off what he is best at. Thick bodied small forward that can hit open shots and posts up smaller defenders. Good rebounding wing.
Edvin Bosnjak Edvin Bosnjak 6'8" | PF Schaumburg | 2023 State IL (Schaumburg)
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.
Will O’Shields Will O’Shields 6'3" | SG DePaul Prep | 2023 IL (DePaul Prep)
O’Shields caught our attention over the summer and that continued with a nice outing at the Top 250 Camp. DePaul Prep wing is a strong and athletic wing that can get after it defensively and shot it well in the games we saw. Three and D wing should be a nice contributor for DePaul Prep this season and earn himself quite a few small college looks.
Kevin Anthony Kevin Anthony 6'9" | C Von Steuben | 2023 State IL (Von Steuben)
Anthony is a big man that I am a huge fan of. The 6’9” five man has an excellent frame and super long arms. He is at his best rim running in the open floor and getting on the offensive glass for put backs. With the lack of size out there D2s would be wise to take a look here as an upside prospect!
Maurice Thomas Maurice Thomas 6'1" | PG Depaul Prep | 2023 State IL (DePaul Prep)
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.
Christian Frantzen Christian Frantzen 5'10" Aurora Central Catholic | 2023 IL (Aurora Central Catholic)
The 5’10” point guard made an impression with his ability to knock down shots from the perimeter. Drained shots from distance with consistency off the catch and pulling up. Small college sleeper!
Jaloni Johnson Jaloni Johnson 6'4" | SG Proviso East | 2023 State IL (Proviso East)
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.
Tyrone Price Tyrone Price 6'3" | SG Gary Comer College Prep | 2023 IL (Gary Comer College Prep)
Price is a new name that emerged with his long and lanky frame as a small forward that could handle it in the open floor covering a lot of ground with his long strides. Got to the rim with regularity and even hit a three. Sleeper to track!
Ephraim Chase Ephraim Chase 6'3" Sullivan | 2023 IL (Evanston)
Liked what we saw out of this 6’3” power wing that played bully ball attacking downhill. Also shot it pretty well from the perimeter hitting an array of threes. High-motor wing is going to be a perfect glue guy for a talented Evanston squad this year!
