Andre Tyler Andre Tyler 6'4" | SG Simeon | 2026 State IL (Simeon)
Tyler has one of the highest ceilings among the 2026 prospects in Illinois regardless of position. He started to turn a corner during the spring/summer and we saw more of it at Pangos. The Simeon shooting guard had a pair of massive scoring games in his three regular contests and then shined in the Top 30 game as well. Long and athletic wing that explodes off the bounce and has a smooth handle. Can create his own shot draining pull up threes along with turnaround jumpers. Showed growth posting up other wings and really has improved his passing instincts.
Nasir Rankin Nasir Rankin 6'2" | SG Whitney Young | 2026 State IL (Whitney Young)
Rankin is a physical and athletic 6’1” shooting guard that is a two sport standout at Whitney Young. This is the type of setting he thrives in as he can let his athleticism shine and that is exactly what he did. Rankin earned co-MVP honors of the top 30 game with a big performance where he got loose over and over in transition for scores and converted off the bounce for acrobatic layups. Finished very well at the cup and mixed in some mid-range shots. High-motor player that had a nice camp!
Charles Barnes (De La Salle)
Barnes is a 6’6” combo forward with long arms and a rangy frame. If he continues to grow could be utilized as a small ball four. He is very active on the offensive glass for put backs using his length to snatch rebounds for extra points. Effective transition player that really does a nice job of running the floor. Decent handles from mid-range in. We saw some growth with him as a shooter including banging in a pair of catch and shoot threes in the Top 30 game. Headlines a strong group of De La Salle sophomores.
Lucas Johnson Lucas Johnson 6'3" | SG De La Salle | 2026 State IL (De La Salle)
Yet another De La Salle prospect to track in 2026. Johnson stands at 6’3” with long arms. Electric athlete that is really springy around the rim. Potential as a mid-range shooter and is a quality defender. Showed well as a connector on the offensive end as well.
Aaron Arrambide (Chi-Prep)
Chi-Prep 6’3” two guard that caught our attention with his size for position and skill level combination. Looked comfortable shooting it off the catch and has upside as a defender.
Alijah Little Alijah Little 6'3" | SG Plainfield East | 2026 IL (Plainfield East)
The Plainfield East 6’3” two guard earned a nod because of his play on the second day of the camp filling up the nets with an array of threes in the morning session. Good size and a clean stroke from beyond the arc. Also was able to step in on close outs for mid-range shots as well.
Josh Humbles (Peoria Manual)
Humbles debuted in our initial rankings after a strong summer with Team Illinois . Athletic and well built two guard that is a plus player in transition. Slashes well, defends, and plays with a high-motor.
Kye Ward-Owens (Hyde Park)
Hyde Park wing that fits the look of a prospect at 6’3” with a good frame and plus athleticism. Scored it well in transition and flashed potential.
Ahmad Lee Ahmad Lee 6'2" | SG Lincoln Park | 2026 State IL (Lincoln Park)
Lee is a two guard that wasn’t there the first day, but impacted on the second. Wing with a good IQ that has nice size. Can break defenders down off the bounce for spinning layups and sees the floor. Smooth ball handler.
