<p>With our latest addition of the class of 2024 rankings in Illinois we wanted to examine the post prospects that made the biggest splash debuts in the rankings!<br><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1285481' first='Noah' last='Cleveland'] (Normal Community)</strong></p>

<p>Cleveland is the clear headliner here. He was once a top 30 prospect trending toward being a mid-major player. Cleveland took last year off of basketball, but returned in June with Normal Community and did not look like he missed a beat. Actually he was better than we remembered. Added strength and the athleticism seemed to pop more than we remembered. Excellent low post scorer that had a feel for getting buckets with deep positioning and sound footwork. Also was dominant as a rebounder especially on the offensive end getting put backs almost every time he missed his own shot.</p>

<p>Tough four man that opened eyes with [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package'] with his strong frame and ability to stretch the floor. Really shot it well from distance in the games we saw. Plus spot up shot maker that will be a nice fit at the small college level.</p>

<p>Case is a five man that has a nice frame and pounds the offensive glass with force. Also runs the floor pretty well for his size getting points in transition. Small college gem.</p>
