Dominic Pangallo Dominic Pangallo 6'4" | SF Homewood Flossmoor | 2024 State IL (Homewood Flossmoor)
Pangallo is a prospect that jumped on our radar during the summer and was excellent at the Top 250. He is the prototype small college 3 and D wing. At 6’4” with long arms he is a high level perimeter defender that can check twos through fours. Offensively he is at his best as a spot up shooter knocking in triples at a high rate off the catch in particular. Displayed some passing instincts that we hadn’t seen which led to several assists throughout the day. Mixed in some posts up and slashes. High end D3/NAIA guy. Could also go to a JUCO and really elevate his stock.
Sebastian Hill Sebastian Hill 6'3" | SG Macon Meridian | 2024 State IL (Macon Meridian)
Hill was one of the standouts from the camp. The Macon Meridian 6’3” two guard is a well built wing that is a strong ball handler. Scored on several power drives where he finished through his man or with scoop shots. Early in the day he was scorching the nets from three with a clean stroke. Small college gem.
Jalen Crues Jalen Crues 6'6" | PF Glenbard North | 2024 State IL (Glenbard North)
Crues was one of the highest ranked seniors at the event. The Glenbard North combo forward has a strong body and knows how to use it. Combines that with elite athleticism and an emerging skill set. Crues showed improvement as a shooter knocking in several threes when we were watching as he was letting it fly with confidence. Physical on straight line takes, quick to the offensive glass, and is an explosive transition finisher.
Maddox Shepherd (Montini)
Shepherd is a 6’0” point guard from Montini that did something in a camp setting you don’t see often. Dominate the entire game on the defensive end. Especially on the perimeter. The tough guard from the Chicago suburbs was dynamic and in the face of opposing guards getting steal after steal. In one game he had at least six of them. Often took them the other way for scores. Puts so much pressure on and has great anticipation with his hands. Nifty finisher around the hoop with scoop shots. Small colleges should take a look!
Kaden Dawson Kaden Dawson 6'6" St. Edward Central | 2024 IL (St. Edwards Central Catholic)
Dawson burst on our radar with a strong performance at the Top 250 Camp. The 6’6” four man was a monster on the glass. The post was a dominant offensive rebounder getting on the boards for second chance points over and over again. Physicality boxing out and grabbing them in traffic. Finished well on dump offs. Good passer for a post as well.
Wade Anthony Davis (Von Steuben)
This Von Steuben 5’10” point guard was very quick with the rock in his hands. Consistently got in the lane off the bounce. Also showcased a nice mid-range jumper.
Luke Warner (Rockford Boylan)
Warner stands at 5’10” and proved to be a quality passer. Made sound decisions with the ball in his hands and had a lot of hockey assists. Connector on the offensive end. Also mixed in a couple sweeping layups.
Dominic Rhoden Dominic Rhoden 6'1" | PG United Township | 2024 IL (United Township)
Rhoden caught our attention as the central Illinois shooting guard has a long and lanky frame. Good slasher with shake off the bounce and was a quality shooter hitting from beyond the arc both off the catch and on step backs.
Jaeshaun Brown Jaeshaun Brown 6'4" | SF Bolingbrook | 2024 IL (Bolingbrook)
This camp we always seem to find under the radar players from Bolingbrook. Brown is listed at 6’4” with some projectability to his frame. Rebounded well, threw good outlet passes, and flashed as a shooter.
