Highland Shootout: 2022 Illinois Standouts

<p>Prep Hoops had the Highland Shootout on lock this past weekend with coverage all day long and into this week.  Here we break down the prospects who played well in <strong>Highland Shootout: 2022 Illinois Standouts</strong>!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1210369" first="Trey" last="Pettigrew"] (Kenwood)</strong></p> <p>The Nevada commit did what he usually does as a microwave scorer.  He notched 17 points and did it mostly with his deep ball hitting an array of threes while still getting loose in transition for some acrobatic layups.  Plays well off his and his team’s defense.  Should be a good fit at Nevada.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1276139" first="Darius" last="Robinson"] (Kenwood)</strong></p> <p>Robinson has bounced around high schools over the last six months but seems to have found a home at Kenwood.  He is a spark for this team when they need some offense from outside the Big 3.  He provided that against CBC hitting several threes along with getting to the cup for scoop shots and and-1s.  More of an off guard than true floor general.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="863582" first="Jaden" last="Schutt"] (Yorkville Christian)</strong></p> <p>The Duke commit had to fight and claw for everything he got in this game.  Schutt is a bit time scorer who managed 22 points in this contest despite being the focus of Chaminade’s defense.  Drained a few threes off the catch as he has a knack for finding the slightest opening in the defense to get his shot off. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1210394" first="KJ" last="Vasser"] (Yorkville Christian)</strong></p> <p>Vasser is a senior that has had a nice year as a spot up shooter and good athlete.  That was shown again on Saturday as he had 10 points including a pair of threes and transition dunk.  Look for him to find a home at the small college or JUCO level.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1210376" first="Nelson" last="Reynolds"] (Peoria Notre Dame)</strong></p> <p>Reynolds stepped up in a major way earning game MVP honors against St. Rita.  The senior made four triples in the win.  Utility guard that does a little bit of everything playing both on and off the ball.  High end small college guard prospect!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1210393" first="Colin" last="Schuler"] (Peoria Notre Dame)</strong></p> <p>Really liked what we saw from this 6’7” post at our camp in the fall and again at Highland.  Skilled four that crashes the glass and can put it on the deck for scores facing up.  Also hit a three.  Went for 14 points.  Excellent small college prospect.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Robert Pulliam (Moline)</strong></p> <p>Pulliam continues to have a strong senior season.  The guard is a big time athlete that relies heavily on that in his game with acrobatic dunks and layups where he did most of his damage for 11 points.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Kyle Taylor (Moline)</strong></p> <p>Taylor was a breakout performer in this one!  The senior guard ripped off 13 of his 15 points in a couple minute stretch in the second quarter where he hit three triples and got out in transition.  Also love his passing in the half court making excellent decisions.  Would be an outstanding late addition at the small college level!</p>
