Under the Radar 2023 Illinois Post Prospects

<p>What big men in 2023 are flying under the radar?  Here are a few of our favorite sleepers in the sophomore class among the power forwards and centers!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1048320" first="Demarcus" last="Wesley"] (Bloomington)</strong></p> <p>Current Ranking: #51</p> <p>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.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1048323" first="Davon" last="Prude"] (Champaign Central)</strong></p> <p>Current Ranking: #54</p> <p>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.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1048327" first="Ryan" last="Kenney"] (Brother Rice)</strong></p> <p>Current Ranking: #62</p> <p>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.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1048331" first="Ben" last="Oosterbann"] (Hinsdale Central)</strong></p> <p>Current Ranking: #70</p> <p>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.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1048332" first="Kyle" last="Senczyszyn"] (Dundee Crown)</strong></p> <p>Current Ranking: #71</p> <p>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.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1048375" first="Nik" last="Polonowski"] (Lyons)</strong></p> <p>Current Ranking: #73</p> <p>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.</p>
