<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920968" first="Alfonso" last="Bailey"] (Mooseheart)</strong></p>
<p>Bailey put his name on our radar back in the summer when he was playing for Full Package. Strong and athletic two guard that can really get hot shooting the ball. Microwave type scorer. Once he adds more to his game he could be a coveted prospect.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920969" first="Kevin" last="Bozeman"] (Downers Grove North)</strong></p>
<p>Bozeman is a skilled face up four that fits the new age college game. Stretches the floor with his shooting and handles the ball well for his size. Runs the court so fluidly being the first one down the court consistently.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920970" first="Aaron" last="McQueen"] (Lane Tech)</strong></p>
<p>McQueen is a below the rim power forward that is super productive. The strong four man is a high level rebounder that has a knack for knowing where the ball is coming off the rim. Scores with efficiency around the hoop using fundamentals and touch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920971" first="Phillip" last="Berryhill"] (Curie)</strong></p>
<p>Berryhill is a prospect that we are waiting to breakout. He has super long arms and the projectability you look for in a prospect. Like his potential on the defensive end using that length getting in passing lanes. With Hinton graduating it is his time to step up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="821759" first="Taijon" last="Barry"] (Eisenhower)</strong></p>
<p>Barry stands at 6’4” with a long and lanky frame. Bit of a weird release on his shot, but can make them on occasion. Like what he brings to the table in the open floor being able to finish as well as handle it going coast to coast. Active defensively turning offense into defense.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="765214" first="Landon" last="Zurliene"] (Fairfield)</strong></p>
<p>Clean looking jump shot that he is uber smooth knocking them down all over the floor especially pulling up in the mid-range area. He has a skilled game and is one of the better wings in the southern Illinois area in 2020.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="765286" first="Ian" last="Burns"] (New Trier)</strong></p>
<p>Burns is a shooter with size. He showed that both with the Mac Irvin Fire and his high school team. Big wing that brings the ability to knock down shots at a solid clip.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920972" first="Jaden" last="Terrell"] (Wheeling)</strong></p>
<p>Terrell is what you look for in your classic three and D wing. Rangy left handed three man that can drill spot up threes from the wings and corners at 6’5”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="821774" first="Noah" last="Franklin"] (Cobden)</strong></p>
<p>Franklin is a unique prospect. The 6’5” lefty is a point-forward type with his feel for getting others involved with his passing flair. Good mid-range jump shot and has some strength.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="652797" first="Joe" last="Melton"] (Norris City Omaha Enfield)</strong></p>
