Shaheed Solebo Shaheed Solebo 6'4" | SF Lane Tech | 2024 State IL (Lane Tech – 2024)
The D1 wing prospect opened the event up with 16 points creating off the bounce for mid-range jumpers, floaters, and getting to the cup in the open floor. Was a bit up and down in this game, but really like his potential.
Ryan Runaas Ryan Runaas 6'0" | PG Lemont | 2024 State IL (Lemont – 2024)
Runaas netted 11 points for Lemont in their victory to begin the event. Sleeper 2024 shooting guard that has a clean looking shot and can play defense in the backcourt.
Caleb Lindsey Caleb Lindsey 6'5" | SF St. Laurence | 2025 State IL (St. Laurence – 2025)
Long and lanky small forward has a ton of physical tools that you have to like. He showed that off on the defensive end swatting a shot and being active with his length. Knocked in a couple threes on his way to 11 points.
Jonathan Calmese Jonathan Calmese 6'2" | PG Manley | 2024 State IL (Farragut – 2024)
Calmese was a player we were looking forward to evaluating as we hadn’t seen him in a long time. Strong bodied scoring combo guard that was up and down. He got to the rack a few times finishing with either hand in a 9 point performance.
Will Gonzalez Will Gonzalez 6'5" | SF Curie | 2024 State IL (Riverside Brookfield – 2024)
The point-forward from RB once again showed some flashes of what can make him a special prospect while still not putting it all the way together in this one. Passing feel at his size is impressive as is his long strides in transition. Knocked in a couple threes and used his long arms on defense to contest shots while scoring 12 points.
Jurrell Baldwin Jurrell Baldwin 6'6" | SF Hyde Park | 2024 State IL (Hyde Park – 2024)
It definitely wasn’t the performance we saw from Baldwin the previous weekend, but there were still several things to like. Physically he totally looks the part of a big time combo forward. He looked comfortable in catch and shoot opportunities. Fell hard on his back, but came back and competed on the defensive end making several impactful swats. Finished with 8 points.
Vincent Davis Vincent Davis 6'5" | SF Homewood Flossmoor | 2023 State IL (Homewood Flossmoor – 2023)
Bouncy forward that is at his best using his bounce in the paint. His second jump on the glass is impressive and it helps that he is a good free throw shooter. He had 14 points.
Chikasi Ofoma Chikasi Ofoma 6'6" | C Curie | 2023 State IL (Curie – 2023)
Ofoma started off well early for Curie, but then struggled after that. Strong bodied undersized post is the top uncommitted big man on the board. Energy rebounder had 8 points.
Richard Lindsey Richard Lindsey 6'5" | SF De La Salle | 2024 State IL (De La Salle – 2024)
The Simeon transfer has a college body along with a solid skill set. Mid-range jumpers were his go too. Liked what he brought defensively blocking several shots while also getting steals in a 13 point performance.
Jaloni Johnson Jaloni Johnson 6'4" | SG Proviso East | 2023 State IL (Proviso East – 2023)
Silky smooth two guard that can knock in feathery jumpers from all over the floor. That is what he did in this one including three from distance on his way to 13 points.
Tolu Samuels Tolu Samuels 6'6" | PF Hillcrest | 2023 State IL (Hillcrest – 2023)
Long and lanky power forward who is very impactful defensively blocking shots and getting steals. Relies on his athleticism around the hoop for put backs and dunks. He had 7 points.
Tyshun Moore Tyshun Moore 6'3" | SG North Lawndale | 2024 IL (North Lawndale – 2024)
Liked what we saw from Moore during the summer and he continues to show more. Clean jump shot including a corner three and sweet step back 2. Two guard snatches rebounds. He had 11 points.
