Cole Certa Cole Certa 6'4" | SG IMG Academy | 2024 State #129 Nation FL (Bloomington Central Catholic – 2024)
Certa was fantastic in his opening night performance at the event. The BCC star broke Jayson Tatum’s event scoring record by scoring 43 points in a loss to Nashville on Friday night. He only shot 3-15 from deep which is actually his biggest strength, but he proved like we have been saying for a while he can get buckets in more ways than threes off movement. He was impressive creating his own shot off the dribble on takes to the rim along with mid-range jumpers stopping on a dime. Good athlete that accelerates in transition with the ball and has the ability to draw contact. Final stat line read 43 points (16-33 FG) (8-9 FT), 7 rebounds, 3 dimes, and 2 blocks. No doubt the best unsigned junior in the state.
Jordan Pickett Jordan Pickett 6'1" | SG Belleville East | 2023 State IL (Belleville East – 2023 – SIU-Edwardsville)
Pickett was excellent in Belleville East’s blow out victory over Lanphier. He started off fast with a pair of threes and it was on from there! Three level scorer that loves to shoot the long ball, but is at his best pushing in the open floor and getting his shoulders squared going downhill. One of the best all-around showings we have seen from Pickett as he had 22 points (8-18 FG), 6 rebounds, 2 dimes, and 2 steals.
Antwine Wilson Antwine Wilson 6'4" | SF Belleville East | 2023 State IL (Belleville East – 2023)
Was a bit of a quiet game for stretches for Belleville East’s second best prospect. The 6’4” wing scored around the rim with reverse layups, finished dump offs, and hit the offensive glass. Lone jumper was a step back three in a 9 point (4-10 FG) and 7 rebound outing. Would be a very nice fit at the small college or JUCO level.
Rini Harris Rini Harris 6'3" | SG O'Fallon | 2024 State IL (O’Fallon – 2024)
Harris is a utility wing that showcased over the weekend in a pair of games that his true value comes in his ability to stuff the stat sheet. The athleticism shines through on the glass, defensively, and an underrated passer.
Isaiah Camper (O’Fallon – 2023)
Camper is the ultimate glue guy for O’Fallon. The junior shooting guard does the little things like taking charges, making the extra passes, and hitting open shots when they present themselves.
Carter Schoenherr Carter Schoenherr 6'2" | SG Nashville | 2023 IL (Nashville – 2023)
The top perimeter option for Nashville stepped up when his team needed him. Strong frame with the ability to get downhill with strength and some nifty footwork on euro steps and spin moves. Hit a couple big threes as well. The small college prospect had 18 points (7-11 FG) (2-3 3 PT) and 3 assists.
Jayden Martin Jayden Martin 6'2" | SG Joliet West | 2023 State IL (Joliet West – 2023)
The toughness for the combo guard from Joliet West is a huge x-factor for his team. The senior guard has a strong frame with the ability to score in the paint and hit an open three. He rebounds very well for his position and plays tough defense. Contributed 8 points and 6 rebounds.
Justus McNair Justus McNair 6'3" | SG Joliet West | 2024 State IL (Joliet West – 2024)
McNair struggled shooting the basketball in their win against Cathedral, but he was effective getting to the foul line where he hit 5-8 finishing with 7 points and defensively picked up a couple steals. Like him at the low-major level in 2024.
