<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="796148" first="Trey" last="Baker"] (Mundelein)</strong></p>
<p>Baker might not get the attention of his D1 teammates at Mundelein, but he is a quality prospect in his own right. The crafty left handed guard is one of the better perimeter shooting point guards in the state. He did just that in a late season game hitting double digit triples.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920979" first="Shane" last="Miller"] (Springfield)</strong></p>
<p>This 6’1” Springfield High product has good strength, gets others involved with excellent passing, and can take over scoring when he needs to. Put his name on the map last summer on the 16U level.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="652790" first="AJ" last="Smith"] (Metro East Lutheran)</strong></p>
<p>Big bodied combo guard from the metro east. Shows some explosion with the ball when attacking downhill. Rebounds very well for a guard. Tough defender that uses his strength to play physical against weaker guards.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920981" first="Noah" last="Livingston"] (Casey-Westfield)</strong></p>
<p>Livingston is one of the more intriguing scoring combos in southern Illinois. He isn’t a freak athlete, but has a solid burst on his initial step. Crisp ball handler especially on straight line takes. Plus shooter off the catch from three.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920985" first="Parker" last="Wolfe"] (Effingham)</strong></p>
<p>Wolfe is a crafty left handed point guard that is the latest in a long line of Wolfe brothers at Effingham. He is a clutch playmaker that has hit big shots throughout his career both shooting it and using his craftiness to score off the dribble.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920986" first="Sincere" last="Malone"] (Corliss)</strong></p>
<p>Malone is a long and athletic forward with mid-range potential. Flew a bit under the radar as a junior, but is one to continue to track as he could be a late bloomer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="889484" first="AJ" last="Johnson"] (Oswego East)</strong></p>
<p>Johnson is a shooting floor general that stepped up emerging during his junior year. Brings toughness and shot making to the table.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920994" first="Jadyn" last="Benson"] (Mt. Carmel)</strong></p>
<p>Long and lanky shooting guard that flashes a perimeter jump shot stretching out to three. Slick with the ball hitting the hole and has potential defensively.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920998" first="Demarco" last="Clayton"] (Bloomington)</strong></p>
<p>Clayton is a super athletic combo guard from Bloomington that shows it off in the open floor flying high for dunks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="921004" first="Terrance" last="Moncrief"] (Joliet West)</strong></p>
<p>Moncrief is a crafty lead guard that can set others up and plays with nice pace. Lefty is a sound distributor, can hit a mid-range jumper, and is a good leader. Look for him to have a bigger role for Joliet West next season.</p>
