Conference Preview: South Seven

Conference Preview: South Seven

<p>The high school season is almost here in the state of Illinois!  With that we look at some of the top conferences throughout the state and some of the prospects in those conferences!  Today it is the <strong>South Seven</strong>!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Preseason Player of Year</strong></p> <p>Quani Rudd (Mt. Vernon)</p> <p>We are going to go with a breakout junior for the player of the year.  Rudd is primed to explode this season as one of the top players in the 618.  Athletic wing with the ability to score from multiple levels.  Elevated his stock with the Southwest Jets this summer and gained a lot of confidence with his play in their fall league.  On a loaded Mt. Vernon squad he should emerge as the go to guy.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Preseason Conference Favorite</strong></p> <p>The Mt. Vernon Rams come in as the clear favorite in the conference.  They have a trio of seniors in Amir Spann, Simon Wilson, and Jackson Creel who will provide experience.  Spann is coming off a serious injury, but should be good to go once the season gets into conference season.  Wilson and Creel are floor spacers that complement their slashers.  Junior Quani Rudd is a D1 prospect that is gearing up for a dominant breakout season.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ranked Prospects to Watch</strong></p> <p>Amir Spann (Mt. Vernon – 2020)<br /> Simon Wilson (Mt. Vernon – 2020)<br /> Jackson Creel (Mt. Vernon – 2020)<br /> Quani Rudd (Mt. Vernon – 2021)<br /> NJ Benson (Mt. Vernon – 2022)<br /> Daulton Burgner (Belleville Althoff – 2020)<br /> Crue Walker (Centralia – 2021)<br /> Jackson Connor (Marion – 2020)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Top Contenders</strong></p> <ol> <li>Mt. Vernon</li> <li>Marion</li> <li>Centralia</li> <li>Cahokia</li> <li>Belleville Althoff</li> <li>Carbondale</li> </ol>
