Henry will be the big man to protect the rim for the Mustangs this season.
Messiah Jones (Simeon – 2018)
Long and angular four man that is an explosive leaper off the floor.
Tyree Martin (Curie – 2018)
Defensive presence that emerged this spring with Team Rose.
Treavon Martin (Curie – 2018)
Long and lanky post with potential as rim protector.
Jalen Shaw (Larkin – 2018)
Great physical tools that project him to be able to be a rim protector in college.
Francis Okoro (Normal West – 2019)
One of the best shot blockers nationally in 2019 with length and timing.
Ciaran Brayboy (New Trier – 2019)
Rim protector that proved he has potential in this area during July.
