Macaleab Rich Macaleab Rich 6'5" | SF East St. Louis | 2023 State #261 Nation IL (East St. Louis)
Current Ranking: #9
Like we spoke about previously in our stock risers story the biggest reason for this rise was his play during the high school live periods with East St. Louis. Last year it was Christian Jones that did it for the Flyers and this year Rich. Built like a defensive end he is so physically impressive as a downhill slasher in the half court and transition. Plays so hard, rebounds, posts up, and defends all over the floor. Capable shooter that usually hits one spot up a game a lot of times from the corner!
Daniel Johnson Daniel Johnson 6'6" | SF Whitney Young | 2023 State #231 Nation IL (Whitney Young)
Current Ranking: #15
Johnson missed the majority of his junior year with an injury. The Dolphins small forward has so many intriguing tools as a three and D wing. It starts with what he brings physically with his length and athleticism. Then you have his spot up shooting ability which is definitely an area that he will continue to get better at the next level. When he locks in on the defensive end he can defend wings and four men.
Richard Barron Richard Barron 6'5" | SF St. Ignatius | 2023 State IL (St. Ignatius)
Current Ranking: #19
Barron is another Meanstreets wing that remains on the board. Big bodied wing that is at his best when he plays with physicality getting downhill and using his advantage over his opponent. Solid shooter that should be a good catch and shoot guy at the next level. Capable wing rebounder.
Quentin Jones Quentin Jones 6'4" | SG Marian Catholic | 2023 State IL (Marian Catholic)
Current Ranking: #22
Jones is a plus athlete that looks the part at the two guard spot with his broad shoulders and plus athleticism. Multi level scorer that broke out during June with Marian Catholic seeing his recruitment skyrocket. Big time wing scorer that elevates over the defense with his jumper from three or mid-range. Has some explosiveness off the bounce and in the open floor.
Kaiden Space Kaiden Space 6'2" | SG St.Rita | 2023 State IL (Simeon)
Current Ranking: #23
Space is making the move to Simeon for his senior year in what they hope is the missing piece to a state title team. Two way wing that at the two guard spot can defend either backcourt spot at a high level. Moves the ball and when he is really rolling is shooting it from the perimeter.
