Continue ReadingThis fall we released our latest rankings for the classes of 2023, 2024, and 2025. What if you took those classes and did an overall ranking regardless of class? This is what they would look like! Once again this is a ranking based on college potential not what their impact will necessarily be this year in high school. This is our Illinois Top 50 Prospects Regardless of Class!
Today we unveil prospects #31 – #35!
#31 Aleks Alston Aleks Alston 6'9" | PF Kenwood | 2025 State #170 Nation IL (Kenwood – 2025)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Alston is a long and lanky point-power forward. Legit size that he can see over the defense and makes passes with flair over and over again. Also a sound three point shooter that at 6’9” can get his shot off with ease from the college three point line. Huge upside!
#32 Bradley Longcor Bradley Longcor 6'3" | PG Quincy | 2025 State #337 Nation IL (Quincy – 2025)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Longcor is an athletic scoring wing that can flat out shoot the rock. As a freshman he took on a big scoring role for Quincy. Deep range on his shot with clean mechanics while also showing creativity off the bounce scoring in the paint and in transition.
#33 Ahmad Henderson Ahmad Henderson 5'10" | PG Brother Rice | 2023 State #291 Nation IL (Brother Rice – 2023)
Last Year’s Rank: #35
The Niagara commit has been one of my favorites in this class. Smaller scoring point guard plays with supreme confidence where he knocks in shots at a super high level. Takes and makes big shots over and over again. More than just a deep shooter he has a nice soft touch finishing package. Solid passer and is a great leader for his team.
#34 Jaden Smith Jaden Smith 6'10" | C Kenwood | 2024 State IL (Kenwood – 2024)
Last Year’s Rank: #18
Smith has a lot of the tools you look for in young big men. This will be a huge season for the junior. Legit size and athleticism to play the five at the college level on both ends. He flashes skill around the hoop and runs the floor pretty well. Looking forward to seeing if he can put it all together for a loaded Kenwood squad.
#35 Dekwon Brown Dekwon Brown 6'4" | PG Simeon | 2024 #273 Nation IL (Peoria – 2024)
Last Year’s Rank: #23
Brown is back at Peoria for his junior campaign. Creativity off the bounce is one of his calling cards. He can really put the ball in the hoop from his combo guard spot. Three level scorer that can stop and pop along with finish at the rim with acrobatics.
