Aidan Anderson Aidan Anderson 6'9" | C Okawville | 2025 State IL (Illinois Bears 16U)
Okawville 6’8” center put his name on our radar with a solid weekend. Big body that moves well around the hoop and is at his best getting put backs on the offensive glass.
Kris Garnett (Illinois Bears 16U)
Garnett came out of nowhere this weekend as the 2025 prospect was very good as a shooter from two and three while being a connector as a passer.
Nasir Leverson (Capital City Teamwork 16U)
Leverson is a smaller point guard from Decatur MacArthur that knocks in pull up threes in bunches and loves to dish it off to his finishers in the paint for buckets.
Jerry Brandon (Team Illinois 15U)
Wide bodied five man that stands at about 6’7”. Was most impactful on the defensive end with his shot blocking.
Jaylene Simmons (Capital City Teamwork 17U)
Undersized post that did a great job at carving out space to score, sealed on the block, and is a very good offensive rebounder.
Martell Britten (DTM 17U)
Britten is a sound shooter from mid-range that can also knock down spot up triples from distance while also mixing in drives finishing through contact.
Isaac Billinton (Illinois Bears 17U)
Benton 6’0” guard was a solid mid-range shot maker that showed some creativity as a passer and finishing with sweeping moves in the paint.
Antonio Tyler Antonio Tyler 6'7" | C Marshall | 2024 IL (Meanstreets Napier 17U)
The Marshall 6’7” five man is a power player around the hoop that knows how to use his body to seal and finish on dump offs. Area rebounder that can block a shot too.
Leon Cook (The Work Foundation 17U)
TF North big man was best out of the dunker spot and rebounding well in his area.
Blake Shoufler (BIG Time 16U)
Lead guard that is a heady playmaker especially around ball screens. He can knock down threes at a good clip and has a crafty finishing game with euro steps and runners.
Aaron McClure (Chicago Grinders 16U)
McClure is a physically impressive 6’7” center from Christ the King that didn’t score much, but it is hard to ignore with the physical tools. Rim runner and shot blocker.
Aaron Powell (HDK 16U)
Strong bodied small forward that can post up smaller defenders, convert in the pick/roll, along with rim run. Also drained a three.
David Marshall David Marshall 6'3" | SG Belleville West | 2024 State IL (Illinois Orange 17U)
Mashall was rock solid in both outings we saw. The two guard from Belleville West can score from all three levels with a clean jumper and the pop off the bounce to get points in the paint.
