(Chi-Prep – 2025)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Ford flew up the board with a strong showing in July for the Mac Irvin Fire. Lanky lefty lead guard that plays with a ton of speed pushing in the open floor and getting to the rim. Can drive and kick. Proved to be a capable three point shooter along with plus defense at the point of attack.
#17 Jamson Coulter Jamson Coulter 6'2" | SG Rich Township | 2026 State IL (Rich Township – 2026)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Coulter is a strong bodied combo guard that can score it from multiple levels. The sophomore is at his best using his strength to score through contact at the rim powering through his opponents. Crafty game with excellent handles make him a tough cover.
#18 Jaali Love Jaali Love 6'7" | PF Waukegan | 2026 State IL (Manley – 2026)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Love has a ton of upside. Long and wiry post that should continue to grow. Impacts the game in a variety of ways. Offensively he runs the floor tremendously well, has touch around the basket, and an explosive offensive rebounder. Defensively Love is a force with his rim protecting and has switchablilty in space.
#19 Chris Riddle Chris Riddle 6'5" | SF Kenwood | 2024 State #204 Nation IL (Kenwood – 2024)
Last Year’s Rank: #22
Strong and athletic small forward from Kenwood that is one of the better downhill slashers in the senior class with his strength and handles in traffic. Underrated as a passer and has the physical tools to be a plus perimeter defender at the next level.
#20 Jack Stanton Jack Stanton 6'2" | SG Downers Grove North | 2024 State #222 Nation IL (Downers Grove North – 2024)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Stanton is a lights out perimeter shooter. Maybe the best in the state. He carried his team this past season to the state finals with a phenomenal run. Moves well without the ball, is a better athlete than given credit, and can get buckets from all over the floor!
