#1 Julius Rollins Julius Rollins 6'7" | SF Hillcrest | 2021 State IL (Hillcrest)
Rollins is a combo forward that has a ton of versatility. He can play inside and out along with being able to guard the two through four spots. Excellent athlete that is extremely explosive finishing around the hoop. Slithers through the defense for scores off the bounce. Combination of quickness, athleticism, and mobility is impressive at 6’5”.
#2 Jakobi Heady Jakobi Heady 6'8" | SF Hillcrest | 2021 State IL (Hillcrest)
He had a breakout junior season with his feathery three point shot being the biggest reason. At 6’6” he can really shoot the ball from the perimeter. Heady has a lot of projectability to his game moving forward. His best basketball is ahead of him.
#3 Hamahrie Bowers Hamahrie Bowers 6'5" | SF Hillcrest | 2021 State IL (Hillcrest)
This lefty two guard has size for position at 6’5”. He can slash to the hoop and plays above the rim in the open floor. Like his potential as a defender with his length and anticipation getting in passing lanes.
#4 Donald Coats Donald Coats 6'7" | SF Thornton | 2021 IN (Thornton)
Coats emerged during the second half of his junior season as a face up four man with upside. He draws the defense out with his shooting from beyond the arc at 6’7”. Teams have to respect his shooting which opens up so much for his team and others. Bouncy around the hoop finishing and swatting shots.
#5 Taijon Barry Taijon Barry 6'5" | SF Eisenhower | 2021 State IL (Eisenhower)
Long and thin small forward at about 6’4” that is at his best slashing to the rim. Slithers through the defense for scores. Plus wing defender and is a solid passer for a wing of his size.
#6 Brandon Hall Brandon Hall 6'6" | PG Thornton | 2021 State IL (Thornton)
Hall is a big guard that can play both on and off the ball. Has good size for position and uses his strength off the bounce on drives to the hoop. Plays with physicality from the guard spot. Rebounds well.
#7 Chad Readey Chad Readey 6'7" | PF Homewood Flossmoor | 2021 State IL (Homewood Flossmoor)
Readey is one of the most interesting prospects in the class. He is hit and miss when you see him. One game/event he will look like a D1 post and another he either isn’t playing because of injury or baseball. Has natural physical gifts with a strong frame. Pretty decent skill level and rebounds well.
#8 AJ Storr AJ Storr 6'3" | SG Kankakee | 2021 IL (Kankakee)
The wing has good length and athleticism. Can put it on the deck for straight line takes and is a capable three point shooter. He has gradually grown on us as a prospect from last summer, to camps in the fall, to the high school season.
#9 Isiah Lewis Isiah Lewis 6'5" | SF TF South | 2021 State IL (TF South)
Lewis is a powerfully built combo forward that works well in the mid-post area and in with his quickness and strength.
#10 Connor Jenkins Connor Jenkins 6'7" | SF Lincoln Way West | 2021 State IL (Lincoln Way West)
Long and lanky 6’7” forward that is a high level marksmen from deep. Big shooter that can mix in a mid-range game as well.
