Demarcus Wesley Demarcus Wesley 6'4" | PF Bloomington | 2023 IL (Bloomington)
Current Ranking: #51
Wesley is a 6’4” power forward with a long and athletic build where he should definitely continue growing moving forward. Extremely bouncy around the hoop as he showed blocking a ton of shots. Major rim protector already. Finishes dump off passes and can even drill a mid-range pull up on occasion.

Current Ranking: #54
Prude is a Champaign Central 6’5” power forward that is another projectable prospect. He was extremely active on the defensive end as a shot blocker and rebounded well throughout the first event of the summer.

Current Ranking: #62
Kenney came off the bench for a talented Lockdown squad to rebound at a high level and play tough defense. Flashes touch and strength in the paint.
Ben Oosterbaan Ben Oosterbaan 6'6" | PF Hinsdale Central | 2023 State IL (Hinsdale Central)
Current Ranking: #70
Another Hinsdale Central power forward that fits the mold of the previous ones with his face up ability shooting and can put it on the deck.

Dundee Crown | 2023

(Dundee Crown)
Current Ranking: #71
This Dundee Crown 6’4” power forward is a good athlete that presents skill as well. Mid-range shooter that can stretch it out to three on occasion. Bouncy on the offensive glass. Quick moves in the lane.

(Lyons)
Current Ranking: #73
At 6’6” this post displays a really nice mid-range game connecting from 15-18 feet at a high clip and then being able to extend it to beyond the arc. Handles it some in the open floor and flashes athleticism on the defensive end.
