Swiss Army Knife supreme! Julien does a little bit of everything. He shoots, handles, facilitates and defends. I have seen the improvement of this young man jump exponentially each year. On a talented Simeon team, he’s the next level player that often goes under the wire. Julien is the type of player that successful teams win with. He definitely has winning intangibles.
Reid Olson Reid Olson 6'0" | PG Niles North | 2025 State IL 6’1 G Niles North 2025:
Junior guard who goes under the radar for the fact the he has star capabilities. Reid can score the basketball from all over the court. His confidence to go along with his parking lot shooting range makes him a nightmare for opposing defenders. Along with Yaris Irby Yaris Irby 5'10" | PG Niles North | 2025 State IL , they combine for one of the states most lethal backcourts.
Samar Bures Samar Bures 5'9" | PG Rich Township | 2024 State IL 5’10 G Rich Township 2024:
Explosive combo guard who is a dynamic athlete who can play well above the rim. He has an explosive first step who excels in the midrange game. Playing alongside sophomore Jamson Coulter Jamson Coulter 6'2" | SG Rich Township | 2026 State IL , Samar has the opportunity to make a huge impact on a very talented Rich Township team.
Ashton Flowers 5’9 Pg DePaul Prep 2026:
Ashton is a strong and compact floor general who has flown under the radar with DePaul Prep’s stellar junior backcourt of Makai Kvamme Makai Kvamme 6'0" | PG DePaul Prep | 2025 State IL and Rob Walls. That being said Ashton is a guard the can flat out run the show. A tough floor general who makes excellent reads on a basketball court, with the ability to snap accurate passes with either hand. He’s a player that competes on the defensive end of the floor and often times picks up 94 feet. Interested to see how he is incorporated on a loaded DePaul team.
Myles Townsend 6’2 G Walter Payton 2024:
A physically bruising downhill guard who also excels as a playmaker. Myles toughness and competitive spirit stands out on the court. A confident basketball player who has the belief that he can go toe to toe with anyone on a basketball court. Has perimeter to skills to facilitate for teammates, but also has the versatility to take smaller guards into the low block. A next level player for sure, interested to see how his recruiting materializes over the coming year.
