Jack Dabbs — SF — All In Athletics
Dabbs’ fingerprints were all over the All In Athletics vs. M14 Hoops matchup on Friday night. Standing at 6-foot-7 with a long frame, Dabbs has great positional size. He uses this positional size to find success in many different ways. Using his long arms, the SF is capable of disrupting passing lanes and causing steals on the defensive end of the court. On the offensive end of the court, Dabbs is a handful. He is a great ball handler who does an impressive job of slashing into the lane and creating scoring opportunities.
CJ Savage CJ Savage 5'10" | PG West Aurora | 2024 State IL — PG — M14 Hoops
Savage played a really good game for M14 Hoops on Friday night. Even though his team didn’t walk away with the victory, I still thought that Savage raised his stock. With the ball in his hands, the point guard can do many different things at a high level. As a passer, Savage is excellent. He uses his high-IQ and court vision to locate open teammates. Savage is also an advanced scorer. He made a couple of shots from deep on Friday night.
Jeffrey Fleming Jeffrey Fleming 6'4" | SG Plainfield North | 2024 State IL — SG — M14 Hoops
Fleming was rolling on all cylinders this evening for M14 Hoops . I knew that the shooting guard was in for a good night when he knocked down a difficult turnaround jumper early in the first half. From that point on, Fleming didn’t look back. He scored well at all three levels and almost willed his squad to victory. I am certain that college coaches in attendance on Friday night were impressed by the show that Fleming put on.
Jax Abalos Jax Abalos 6'7" | SF Batavia | 2025 State IL — SF — M14 Hoops
I was able to see Abalos play a couple of times last spring. I thought that the small forward was impressive last AAU season. But it appears now that he has taken his game to another level. Abalos just looks so comfortable on the offensive end of the court. He pairs good positional size with a smooth stroke from deep and impressive finishing skills around the hoop. Abalos turned heads on Friday night. I believe that the SG has a lot of potential.
TJ Williams TJ Williams 6'2" | SG Glenbard West | 2026 State IL — PG — M14 Hoops
In the final game of the night, Williams stole the show. In a blowout win for his team, the guard tallied 23 points. I was very impressed with Williams’ ability to slash into the paint and create scoring opportunities for himself. As a ballhandler, Williams stands out. He seems to have the ball on a string at times. I look forward to watching Williams for the rest of this spring
Moses Wilson Moses Wilson 6'5" | SF Waubonsie Valley | 2025 State IL — SF — Illinois Attack
The highlight of the night belonged to Illinois Attack ‘s Wilson. With just one defender standing in his way, the small forward elevated for a dunk and put a defender on a poster. The dunk reverberated through the gym and had many spectators stunned. On Friday night, Wilson was certainly a standout performer. He scored well from all three levels. College coaches should keep an eye on Wilson moving forward.
