Anthony Jabe Haith Anthony Jabe Haith 6'4" | SG Marmion Academy | 2023 State IL (Marmion Academy)
Previous Ranking: #90
Current Ranking: #71
Haith intrigued us during the spring/summer with M14 on the PHC and continued to boost his stock leading his squad deep in the state tournament. Long and lanky wing that has a feathery jump shot and feel for the game. Lewis was on him early and the D2 scooped him up!
Jahiem Savage (Phillips)
Previous Ranking: #123
Current Ranking: #79
Savage was one of the leading scorers in the state this season. You are buying the size and shot making here out of Savage. We saw him get super hot with his perimeter jumper in several games. Concise and smooth lefty scoring guard!
Michael Ratliff Michael Ratliff 6'2" | SG Simeon | 2023 State IL (Simeon)
Previous Ranking: #125
Current Ranking: #85
Ratliff became the sixth senior star for Simeon this year along with the five D1 commits. The uncommitted two guard started most of the time and was given the assignment to defend the other teams top perimeter scorer. He was effective in doing so with how well he moves his feet and has active hands. Tremendous intangibles across the board. Offensively he finds ways to impact the game as a connector and getting buckets when opportunities present themselves.
Tyson Swanson Tyson Swanson 6'2" | SG Metamora | 2023 State IL (Metamora)
Previous Ranking: #141
Current Ranking: #91
Swanson took over for Metamora as a senior being their go to player all season long. Strong bodied two guard used his frame finishing inside along with being a sound three point shooter. When the game was on the line in Champaign he took over and led them to a 3A crown. Small schools should be all over him!
Mason Funk Mason Funk 6'5" | SF Normal U-High | 2023 State IL (Normal U-High)
Previous Ranking: #159
Current Ranking: #93
Funk is another small school gem from central Illinois. The Normal U-High small forward has good length and skill. Plus shooter from deep that is best off the catch and brings versatility as a defender.
Evan Noelle Evan Noelle 6'5" | SF Marion | 2023 State IL (Marion)
Previous Ranking: #133
Current Ranking: #101
I saw Noelle in person in January at the Pinckneyville Shootout. He put on one of the best shooting performances we saw all year. The two guard was rising up with ease for threes in bunches. Crisp and clean shooting mechanics. Solid athlete that has some bounce. Small colleges and JUCO’s take a look!
Andy Nash Andy Nash 6'3" | SF Benet | 2023 State IL (Benet)
Previous Ranking: NR
Current Ranking: #116
Nash emerged at the state tournament once Kunka got hurt. The Carthage commit was lights out with his perimeter shot making. At his size with how he knocks in shots he will be a valuable commodity at the next level.
Jevon Warren Jevon Warren 6'3" | SG TF North | 2023 State IL (TF North)
Previous Ranking: NR
Current Ranking: #121
Warren is a strong and athletic wing that posted very solid numbers as a senior. He was the player that made TF North go with his scoring pop on the perimeter.
