Nick Tingley Nick Tingley 6'4" | SG Lincoln Way Central | 2021 State IL (Illinois Hoopstars)
Tingley put his name on the map for Hoopstars Nelson. The 6’4” Lincoln Way Central shooting guard is a crafty scorer that has a runner game and hit a spinning layup. Also a capable shooter from three. Positional size is a plus.
Luke Morrow (Illinois T-Wolves)
A lot of different prospects on the Illinois T-Wolves to watch from Joliet West, but one that keeps growing on us is this 6’7” post. Morrow is efficient with his touches down low and gets on the glass. Strong frame and will occasionally block a shot.
Tyrese Shannon (Illinois Hoopstars)
Shannon didn’t necessarily have a defining moment or play, but the immense potential just jumps off the floor at you. At 6’6” he has long arms and legs which allow him to cover a lot of ground on both ends. Really good in transition running the floor and defensively has a ton of upside.as a shot blocker and multi-positional defender.
Tai Walters Tai Walters 5'11" | PG Homewood Flossmoor | 2021 State IL (Team RWA)
The Homewood Flossmoor shooting guard had a nice weekend. Drilled 4-4 from three point territory with his sweet lefty shot. That carried over to their game against the T-Wolves as well where he hit several more. Angular wing that could be a nice find for a small college.
