Jordan Brown

Brown
6'2" | SG
Bloom | 2023
State
IL
(Bloom – 2023)
When Brown decides he wants to lock someone down he has that type of capability. Active hands allowed him to create several turnovers at the camp.
Shailen Patel Shailen Patel 5'7" South Elgin | 2025 IL (South Elgin – 2023)
Patel is a smaller guard at only 5’7” but showed he was a scrappy defender with active hands on the defensive end.
Jay Adebayo

Brother Rice | 2024
State
IL
(Brother Rice – 2024)
Adebayo is a lanky four man that used it on the defensive end blocking shots and using his athleticism to make impactful plays.
Joey Hernandez

St. Viator | 2025
State
IL
(St. Viator – 2025)
Pesky guard that has active hands at the point of attack. Not the tallest guard, but has nice strength and competes on the defensive end.

Bloom Township | 2023
State

(Bloom – 2023)
Long and angular power forward that uses that length defensively swatting shots along with getting in passing lanes.
Jason Lawani

Bolingbrook | 2024
State
IL
(Bolingbrook – 2024)
Really like the two way potential of Lawani. Going to be a plus defender the next two years for Bolingbrook.
Jonah Funk

Funk

El Paso Gridley | 2025
State
IL
(El Paso Gridley – 2025)
Funk swatted everything that came near him. Athletic five man is definitely one of the better rim protectors in the 2025 class.
Keshaun Vaval Keshaun Vaval 6'0" Marist | 2025 IL (Marist – 2025)
Active on ball defender that made it a point to get into his man and make them uncomfortable which you don’t often see in a camp setting. That resulted in an array of steals.
