Avery Rogoz Avery Rogoz 6'3" | SF Plainfield Central | 2024 State IL (Illinois Storm)
This wing caught our attention back in the spring. Strong bodied and explosive athlete that is best when he gets a head of steam behind him using his burst downhill. Flashed a crisp two dribble pull up game.
Joseph Kone (Illinois Storm)
Angular Westmont 6’2” shooting guard with good handles and potential as a shooter nailing a couple of them in the game we saw.
Stephen Braun ( Archangels ‘ last=”]’ last=”]’ last=”]’ last=”])
The Illinois Valley Central 6’3” shooting guard had 12 points in an Archangels ‘ last=”]’ last=”]’ last=”]’ last=”] win. Good size on the perimeter with the ability to hit threes, post up smaller defenders for hook shots, and crash the offensive glass.
Kolby Capers ( Full Package Gold)
This Lindblom 6’2” shooting guard dropped 19 points in their win over the Michigan Goonies. Smooth ball handler that got to the rim for euro steps, floaters, and shielded the ball at the rim. Downhill slasher that showed more to his game than we saw in June.
JP Hubbard JP Hubbard 6'1" | SG Glenbrook South | 2024 State IL ( Full Package Black)
Glenbrook South two guard had a big day on Saturday including one outing where we saw him drop 21 points. Plus three point shooter that nailed five of them from distance. Deep range on his shot. Brings toughness and is a good connector as well.
Caden Minehart ( Full Package Black)
Minehart made a name for himself with his ability to knock down perimeter shots and score in transition going for 14 points against Midwest G2G.
Tallis Lowery Tallis Lowery 6'2" | PG Belleville East | 2024 State IL (Illinois Orange)
Really like what Lowery brings to the table. This Belleville East long and rangy two guard is a plus perimeter defender that was effective scoring off the dribble with runners and floaters. Super smooth ball handler that will make quick dishes in the lane.
Jordan Lacey Jordan Lacey 6'0" | SG Belleville West | 2024 State IL (Illinois Orange)
The Belleville West 6’0” scoring guard is a straight bucket getter! He brings big time athleticism with explosive finishing ability at the rim. One of the better athletes at the guard spot in the metro east had an array of acrobatic finishes showing great acceleration with the ball in his hands.
Tanner Faivre (Illinois Valley Warriors)
Faivre emerged in their Saturday contest as the rising senior opened eyes with a 22 point performance impacting the game on both ends of the floor.
