Matthew Callahan Matthew Callahan 6'5" | PF Nazareth | 2025 State IL (Ronnie Fields Elite Plus 17U)
Callahan is a forward that has been on our radar since we saw him at the Ronnie Fields workout last fall. He seems to have gained strength and stretched out more height wise. Was a force early on blocking shots on Friday night. Can handle it well for his size and high point rebounds in traffic. Gets up and down the floor as a rim runner.
Simon Redfearn (Ronnie Fields Elite Plus 17U)
Redfearn is an unsigned senior that had a strong showing. The lefty two guard knocked down shots and play with athleticism in the open floor. Should find a home at the small college level.
Auggie Hoffman (M14 National 1 16U)
Hoffman is a long and lean shooting guard at 6’1” that shot it well from three. Knocked in four of them while also playing active on the defensive end.
Christian Harrell Christian Harrell 6'1" | SG Yorkville | 2025 IL (M14 National 1 16U)
Harrell caught our eye as a three and D guard that can shoot well from three with a sweet lefty shot. Also can put it on the deck a little while being a sound defender.
Alex Danehl (M14 National 2 17U)
This Metea Valley 6’2” two guard opened our eyes with a strong outing hitting threes off the catch and dribble hand offs. Hits the offensive glass and finished through contact.
Mitchel Edwards Mitchel Edwards 6'6" | PF Carmi | 2025 State IL (Indiana Ambition 16U)
Edwards is a sleeper from southern Illinois as a face up four that can stretch the floor with his shooting and has solid athleticism.
Max Justic (Mike Glennon Elite 16U)
Justic was the bright spot for Mike Glennon Elite in the game we saw. The combo guard is a smooth scorer that loves euro steps, floaters, and spinning layups.
