Cobb was fantastic all weekend being the top Illinois 2024 performer in my eyes. The dynamic lead guard from Homewood Flossmoor is outstanding with the rock in his hands. Speed to burn in the open floor and has such a great burst in the half court getting to the rim. At times he can go in a bit wild, but actually has good body control which makes up for his slight frame consistently getting it up on the rim. Made quite a few nice passes throughout the event along with proving he is a quality shooter. Low-majors should be on him!
Lee Marks Lee Marks 6'6" | SF Mt. Carmel | 2024 State IL (Team Rose 17U)
Marks is among of the more intriguing two way wings in the 2024 class. The Mt. Carmel small forward is a rangy wing that can defend multiple positions and plays with a high-motor. He was very active all weekend crashing the offensive glass for second chance points. Scored on the move, put it on the deck, and hit several threes. Mid-majors and low-majors should monitor.
Richard Lindsey Richard Lindsey 6'5" | SF De La Salle | 2024 State IL (Team Rose 17U)
The De La Salle two guard is a well built wing that has a feathery touch on his perimeter jumper. That was shown throughout the event as he knocked in array of pull up twos and threes along with several off the catch. Rebounds well from his wing position and can play either wing spot.
Davee Flowers Davee Flowers 6'1" | SG Niles West | 2024 State IL (Illinois Central Elite 17U)
Flowers is a rangy and athletic two guard from Niles West that caught our attention on Friday and then took it to another level in the game we saw Sunday. Big weekend for the wing as he showed creativity off the bounce finishing with nifty finishes at the cup while also being able knock in jumpers. Smooth ball handler that can get to his spots on a regular basis and always seemed to have a nose for the ball.
Taylor Powell (Illinois Orange 17U)
Carson Brownfield Carson Brownfield 6'5" | SF Homewood Flosmoor | 2024 State IL (Illinois Flight 17U)
Brownfield is a strong bodied two guard that loves to attack downhill. He can get to the rim with the best of them. Uses his physicality to punish like a running back hitting the hole and getting to the hoop for scores finishing with regularity through contact for and-1s. Good handle and a solid skill level. The majority of his points came at the line and the hoop. Flashed a jumper on a couple attempts and was a good rebounder.
Malachi Johnson Malachi Johnson 6'2" | SG Rockford Guilford | 2024 State IL (Greater Purpose Athletics 17U)
Johnson posted quality numbers over the weekend with his lethal perimeter scoring game. In the game we saw he let it fly from distance at a high clip shooting it well from three. Also notched a 25 point game later in the event. Scorer out of Rockford Guilford to track!
Alex Keizer Alex Keizer 6'4" | SF Timothy Christian | 2024 State IL (ET21 Buckeyes 17U)
Plus shooter that can knock down shots! Small forward will be an excellent small college get for a school looking for a plus shooter that brings toughness and moves without the ball to get open. Plays well in a team concept.
