Mark Nikolich-Wilson Mark Nikolich-Wilson 6'7" | C Rolling Meadows | 2023 State IL (Rolling Meadows)

Current Ranking: #34

Baby Cam Krutwig had an outstanding senior campaign.  The point-center can handle it and is one of the best passing posts I have ever covered.  He has an innate ability to make others around him better with his passing.  Wide bodied five man that gets deep post position and scores with touch and footwork.

Prince Adams Prince Adams 6'7" | C Evanston | 2023 State IL (Evanston)

Current Ranking: #39

Adams has a great frame for a college four/five man at the D2 level.  Plus athlete that runs the floor, rebounded at a high rate as a senior, and has the athleticism that plays well on the defensive end.  Strong senior campaign for Prince.

Aries Hull Aries Hull 6'8" | C Bolingbrook | 2023 State IL (Bolingbrook)

Current Ranking: #43

Hull was impactful for Bolingbrook in his senior year after moving in.  The wiry five man is a good rebounder that brings athleticism up front.  Quickness on the boards and the defensive end.

Chikasi Ofoma Chikasi Ofoma 6'6" | C Curie | 2023 State IL (Curie)

Current Ranking: #45

Junk yard dog type undersized five that gets the most out of his ability.  Like how he rebounds with strength and plays tremendously hard giving it everything he has.  Such a dynamic offensive rebounder getting tons of points on put backs.  Ideal small college or JUCO big man!

Makhi Wright Makhi Wright 6'7" | C Decatur MacArthur | 2023 State IL (Decatur MacArthur)

Current Ranking: #54

Wright is a five man that broke out as a senior.  Complete unknown coming into the year, but his defensive instincts as a shot blocking along with how well he rebounds jumped off the floor to us.  Could develop at a JUCO to become a D1 type kid.

Tsvet Sotirov Tsvet Sotirov 6'7" | PF Rolling Meadows | 2023 State IL (Rolling Meadows)

Current Ranking: #60

Really like the potential here.  Stretch four/five that can shoot it from three with consistency.  Great frame and mobile defender.  Impact small college prospect.

Kevin Anthony Kevin Anthony 6'9" | C Von Steuben | 2023 State IL (Von Steuben)

Current Ranking: #61

Anthony screens upside!  One of the tallest fives on the board that anchors as a defensive presence with his rebounding and shot blocking.  Offensive game is really coming along as well scoring with his back to the basket.

Cameron Boone Cameron Boone 6'8" | C East St. Louis | 2023 State IL (East St. Louis)

Current Ranking: #62

Boone is an anchor on the defensive end with his rebounding and shot blocking.  The Flyers big man came on strong at the end of the year with the way he swatted shots in bunches.

Koby Wilmoth Koby Wilmoth 6'8" | PF O'Fallon | 2023 State IL (O’Fallon)

Current Ranking: #64

Wilmoth is a skilled and athletic four/five that has touch around the hoop along with how he can stretch the floor with his shooting.  Extremely consistent player that was a force for O’Fallon as a senior.

George Bellevue George Bellevue 6'5" | PF Lincoln Way East | 2023 State IL (Lincoln Way East)

Current Ranking: #67

Undersized four that plays with a super high-motor.  He rim runs with the best of them and is one of the top offensive rebounders in the class with his quick second jump.

Donaven Younger Donaven Younger 6'8" | C Bolingbrook | 2023 State IL (Bolingbrook)

Current Ranking: #68

Younger is a five man that has all the physical tools you can ask for.  The production never quite matched the potential.  Still believe that if he went to a JUCO or small college he has the ability to play his way up a level because all the tools are there.
