<p>There were lots of quality prospects at the PrepHoops Midwest Collision last weekend.  We caught up with a few of the 2021 players from Illinois to get updates on their recruitments in our <strong>Midwest Collision: Illinois Recruiting Notebook</strong>!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="821763" first="Jakobi" last="Heady"] (God’s Gift)</strong></p> <p>The Hillcrest 6’6” small forward showed his explosiveness on both ends of the floor.  He tells PHI that he holds one offer right now from Chicago State.  Other schools that are actively recruiting him include Tulsa, South Dakota State, Wright State, and Niagara. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="821751" first="Kai" last="Evans"] (Illinois Stars)</strong></p> <p>Evans had a great showing for the Stars.  The Bolingbrook 6’3” power wing said on his recruitment, “Milwaukee has been talking to me heavily.  Western Michigan slowed down with the new coach addition, but I expect them to hop back on soon and South Dakota has been interested for a long time now.  I’ve done a zoom call with Milwaukee.”  He holds offers from UW-Milwaukee, Western Michigan, and Chicago State.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Brenden Moss (Illinois Stars)</strong></p> <p>Moss was among the breakout players from the event!  The Rockford Jefferson three and D wing was very good on Sunday in the semis.  He is just coming back from an injury so his recruitment hasn’t fully ramped up, but he is talking with Rockford, Lawrence, and Macalester.  Minnesota Prep Academy is interested in having him play for them this year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="921067" first="Sean" last="Gallery"] (Sharks Basketball)</strong></p> <p>Gallery is a combo guard from Maine South who showed improvement as a passer in Minnesota.  On his recruitment he says he is talking to Augustana, Loras, Dominican, and St. Mary.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="921010" first="Josh" last="Harris"] (Sharks Basketball)</strong></p> <p>Another intriguing prospect on the Sharks is this Timothy Christian lefty two guard.  He told us when asked about his recruitment, “Schools I have been in contact with are Wisconsin-Whitewater, Wisconsin-Lutheran, Loras, Illinois College, Dominican, and Lake Forest.  Schools making me feel like a priority are Loras and Illinois College.”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="920994" first="Jadyn" last="Benson"] (HIT)</strong></p> <p>Monster showing for this Mt. Carmel athletic guard.  He was lethal with his pull up game.  Benson said the programs he is talking to include Augustana, Loras, and Central Dutch.  He is supposed to be doing a virtual visit soon with Augustana who has been recruiting him heavily as of late.  Benson very well could see several D2s jump in the mix after a strong weekend.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="652746" first="Luke" last="Braman"] (HIT)</strong></p> <p>Braman is a physical five man from Roanoke Benson.  One of the better true five men in the class with his strength and low post game.  He currently doesn’t hold any offers, but is actively talking with University of Mary, University of Indianapolis, Saginaw Valley State, West Florida, Wisconsin Oshkosh, Olivet Nazarene, Beloit College, Nebraska Omaha, and North Dakota.</p>
