Phoenix Gill Phoenix Gill 6'3" | SG St. Ignatius | 2025 State #72 Nation IL – St. Ignatius 2025: He’s someone I haven’t seen much of. But he put on a string of performances against Riverside-Brookfield that could possibly make him the #1 player in his class. His best showing came against Batavia where he scored 35 points. But he also makes plays on the defensive end and with his passing game too. Despite taking a break from AAU this spring, Gill has not seemed to have skipped a beat.
Rajan Roberts Rajan Roberts 6'2" | PG Kenwood | 2026 State IL – Joliet West 2026: Played with Proviso West last season and had quite a year. I was very impressed with him last winter at their holiday tournament as he showed excellent footwork and craft with the ball. Scoring 19 points in the opening round. From what I’ve heard been outstanding his spring with Team Rose this spring and had a big weekend at R-B.
Mickeis Johnson Mickeis Johnson 6'3" | SG Romeoville | 2026 State IL – Romeoville 2026: The 2026 Point Guard already has an insane athletic build with an impressive burst. He even turned an ordinary baseline drive into a posterizing slam against Marist last weekend. I really like the upper body strength he displays too. This kind of strength is something you usually don’t see for kids his age. Hit two game-winning shots to beat Simeon and also scored 21 against Thornton. Really excited to watch him.
Amir Danforth Amir Danforth 6'1" | SG Rockford Auburn | 2026 State IL – Rockford Auburn 2026: Someone I watched a few times in the spring. Danforth has outstanding vision and underrated athleticism. His speed with the ball creates problems for defenders in transition and his wingspan helps make him an excellent defender. Offensively, I’ve seen him convert from all three levels with a strong ability to break past defenders.
Kaleb Jackson Kaleb Jackson 6'2" | PG Carmel Catholic | 2024 State IL – Carmel 2024: Had a string of big time performances up at the Rockford Live last week. He was also a prospect who had a decent spring with Wisconsin Playground. He displays a smooth touch around the rim with a nice burst to the hoop.
Lincoln Williams Lincoln Williams 6'5" | SF Kankakee | 2026 State IL – Kankakee 2026: Two-way prospect for Kanakee who’s had a solid EYBL season with Mac Irvin Fire. 6’5” Guard is making a ton of noise this spring and summer and has excelled on both ends of the floor.
