Jorey Boley (Team Ten Jabari 17U)
This Yorkville wing caught our attention during the high school season. Like what he brings to the table as a big bodied scoring wing with a high skill level. Plus shooter especially off the catch that can also use his strength in the lane to score. Brings a lot of intangibles to the table.
Navontae Nesbit Navontae Nesbit 5'11" | PG Mt. Vernon | 2024 State IL (Team Ten Jabari 17U)
Jack Dabbs (All-In Athletics Gold 17U)
Dabbs is a skilled three man that does a little bit of everything. Has go to scoring potential as the Stevenson wing is a sound shooter in the pick/pop along with pulling up in the mid-range. Good athlete that can defend with his toughness and is a solid wing defender.
Quinn Krueger Quinn Krueger 6'1" | SG Plainfield Central | 2024 State IL (Illinois Storm 17U)
Nick Taylor Nick Taylor 6'6" | PF Glenbrook South | 2024 State IL ( Fundamental U UA Rise 17U)
Taylor was very productive as always. We saw him go for 20 points against Team Rose . The southpaw big man has physical frame and dishes it out inside with the way he plays. Was relentless on the offensive glass and finishing through contact in the paint for and-1s one after another. Crafty footwork on post moves and has pick/pop range out to three.
Jakob Blakley Jakob Blakley 6'1" | PG Walter Payton | 2024 State IL ( Fundamental U UA Rise 17U)
Blakley is a born scorer. The combo guard from Larkin is a straight bucket getter that really excels in the mid-range. He can knock them down with regularity in the 15-18 foot range stopping on a dime and rising up over defenders. Showcased that on Sunday.
JJ Hernandez JJ Hernandez 6'6" | PF Glenbard North | 2024 State IL ( Fundamental U UA Rise 17U)
A lot of upside to like with Hernandez. Long and lanky combo forward that can put it on the deck from the high-post, score with spins in the lane, and excels rim running in transition. Plus defender that knows how to use his length on that end of the floor.
Kaleb Jackson Kaleb Jackson 6'2" | PG Carmel Catholic | 2024 State IL ( Full Package Gold 17U)
Liked what we saw from this Carmel point guard. Smooth operator that gets where he needs on the floor with his handles getting scoop shots, floaters, and can hit a three on occasion. Showed some passing feel as well.
