Poulakidas is headed to Yale next season. The future Ivy League star is one of the best scorers the state has to offer. He is a silky smooth lefty that scores with an effortless nature every time out. One of the best pure bucket getters in the state with how crafty he is setting up his shots and an elite three point game.
#12 Isaiah Barnes Isaiah Barnes 6'5" | SG Simeon | 2021 State #139 Nation IL (Simeon – 2021)
Last Year’s Rank: #13
Barnes has been a consistent name on this list for three years appearing at #12 or #13 in all three of his appearances. A lot to like with the Michigan commit as he has good size and athleticism at the two guard spot. The Wolverines wing has a versatile offensive game being able to get buckets all over the floor.
#13 Donaven Younger Donaven Younger 6'8" | C Bolingbrook | 2023 State IL (Bolingbrook – 2023)

Younger is an upside post that has his best basketball ahead of him. Right now he is more of a project than finished product, but the potential is certainly there. Rim runner and shot blocking are his biggest strength with skill flashes from the big man.
#14 Bryce Coleman Bryce Coleman 6'6" | SF Proviso East | 2023 State IL (St. Rita – 2023)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Big wing that presents size, athleticism, and major scoring pop on the perimeter. Two way player that defends and rebounds. Quality perimeter shooter that knocks down threes at a solid clip and can power his way to hoop on strong moves.
#15 Asa Thomas Asa Thomas 6'6" | SF Lake Forest | 2023 State #91 Nation IL (Lake Forest – 2023)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Thomas is very intriguing with his plus size for position on the wing and a lights out perimeter shot. One of the best shooters in the state as a sophomore he also has bounce and an all-around skill set that will make him a high-major target.
