Gurmane Springfield Gurmane Springfield 6'5" | PF Champaign Centennial | 2023 IL (Champaign Centennial)
Rankings: #31
Springfield is a physical power forward that mauled on the offensive glass in several early events for the Hoopstars.
Keon Alexander Keon Alexander 6'6" | PF Bolingbrook | 2023 State IL (Bolingbrook)
Ranking: #38
Alexander is a 6’6” left handed power forward that has bounce and quickness in the paint. Rebounds pretty well especially on the offensive end getting second chance points. Finishes in the pick/roll and also has a hook shot. Intriguing long term prospect to track.
Sherod Dent Jr. Sherod Dent Jr. 6'6" | PF Chicago Curie | 2023 State IL (Providence St. Mel)
Rankings: #54
Dent is an intriguing combo forward with his strong frame, athleticism, and upside as a young prospect. Can hit the three ball, but is a bigger factor when he crashes the offensive glass and uses his quickness inside.
Ben Oosterbaan Ben Oosterbaan 6'6" | PF Hinsdale Central | 2023 State IL (Hinsdale Central)
Rankings: #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.
Kuba Senczyszyn Kuba Senczyszyn 6'7" | PF Dundee Crown | 2023 IN (Dundee Crown)
Rankings: #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.
