Overall Prospect Rankings: #41-#45

<p>Over the last month we released our latest rankings for the classes of 2021, 2022, and 2023.  What if you took those classes and did an overall ranking regardless of class?   This is what they would look like!  This is our <strong>Illinois Top 50 Prospects Regardless of Class</strong>!</p> <p>Today we unveil prospects #41 - #45!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>#41 [player_tooltip player_id="1048713" first="Kamryn" last="Thomas"] (Hillcrest – 2022)</strong></p> <p>Last Year’s Rank: NR</p> <p>Thomas is a rangy small forward that broke out this past summer on the travel team circuit.  Feathery jump shot that he can drill both pulling up and off the catch.  Length plays well on the defensive end guarding on the perimeter and altering shots.  Tons of upside here.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>#42 [player_tooltip player_id="939074" first="Khalil" last="Ross"] (Lincoln Way East – 2023)</strong></p> <p>Last Year’s Rank: NR</p> <p>Ross is another long and rangy wing.  The lefty has a quick and concise shooting stroke that when he gets rolling can be a force from beyond the arc.  Good slasher that takes quality angles getting to the rim.  Defends multiple positions.  Can take it off the glass and go on the break.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>#43 [player_tooltip player_id="939073" first="Macaleab" last="Rich"] (East St. Louis – 2023)</strong></p> <p>Last Year’s Rank: NR</p> <p>Powerfully built small forward that looks like an outside linebacker.  He is a big time competitor with his toughness and tenacity on the glass along with checking multiple spots on the defensive end.  Offensively he makes his impact in transition and getting on the glass.  Is a much better shooter than he is given credit as he usually hits at least one a game.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>#44 Wes Rubin (Homewood Flossmoor – 2023)</strong></p> <p>Last Year’s Rank: NR</p> <p>The 6’7” four man brings it on both ends of the floor.  He is a mobile post that plays inside and out on the offensive end.  Takes his man off the bounce from the mid-post and can knock down a three.  Inside he shows he can go through a thicker defender to convert.  Works well in the pick/roll catching passes on the move.  Quality rebounder snatching them out of the air and shows well as a shot blocker.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>#45 [player_tooltip player_id="1048306" first="Miles" last="Rubin"] (Homewood Flossmoor – 2023)</strong></p> <p>Last Year’s Rank: NR</p> <p>Defensively Rubin is a monster with his length and shot blocking potential.  Excellent timing and feel for blocking shots on the defensive end.  Offensively he finishes with athleticism above the rim and has great mobility.</p>
