Morez Johnson Morez Johnson 6'9" | PF Thornton | 2024 State #33 Nation IL (Thornton)
Johnson is the top ranked prospect in the 2024 class and is headed to Thornton for his final season. The Illini commit is an absolute force on the interior with his physicality, athleticism, and tenacity. Makes Thornton along with their other addition a title threat!
Cooper Koch Cooper Koch 6'8" | PF Metamora | 2024 State #81 Nation IL (Metamora)
Speaking of titles the 3A state champs added the #2 player in the 2024 class to replace several departing seniors. The Iowa commit is a face up four that can really shoot it, swat shots, and is a skilled passer. This had been rumored for years and finally went down.
Lathan Sommerville (Peoria Richwoods)
Sommerville moved back to the state of Illinois after spending a couple seasons at a prep school in Georgia. The physically imposing Rutgers commit is a center that will dominate on the interior scoring and rebounding. Exactly what Richwoods needed to take the next step.
Dekwon Brown Dekwon Brown 6'4" | PG Simeon | 2024 #273 Nation IL (Simeon)
Brown made the move from central Illinois to the Chicago Public League. Explosive three level scoring guard should immediately become the go to player for the Wolverines as the season opens up under new head coach Tim Flowers.
Gianni Cobb Gianni Cobb 6'0" | PG Homewood Flossmoor | 2024 State IL (Homewood Flossmoor)
Cobb is an athletic combo guard that can really score it. He looked at his best in the spring with Team Rose where he cooked defenders getting whatever he wanted off the bounce using his athleticism. Joins a HF squad that has Champaign aspirations.
Isaiah Green Isaiah Green 6'1" | PG Thornton | 2024 State IL (Thornton)
Green is another of the key Thornton transfers. Two way combo guard that impacts defensively taking the other squads best perimeter player out while being able to play both on and off the ball as a scorer/facilitator.
Will Gonzalez Will Gonzalez 6'5" | SF Curie | 2024 State IL (Curie)
Gonzalez is a lengthy point-forward that fits into what Curie does on the defensive end being a lockdown perimeter guy. Offensively he is skilled with his handles and showed improved shooting this summer.
Jakob Blakley Jakob Blakley 6'1" | PG Walter Payton | 2024 State IL (Walter Payton)
Blakley was the first to jump over to Walter Payton to join new head coach Reggie Bates. The Larkin transfer is a microwave scorer that just flat out gets buckets and will be instant offense for Payton.
Niko Newsome Niko Newsome 6'6" | SG Normal Community | 2024 State IL (Normal Community)
Newsome brings a ton of high level experience at the varsity level along with the ability to flat out score from anywhere on the floor to a team that will be a state title contender.
Darshan Thomas Darshan Thomas 6'6" | SF Marist | 2024 State IL (Marist)
Long and rangy small forward is coming off an injury, but before that there was a lot that we liked with the wing. Skilled offensively and has lockdown potential on the defensive end. Marist gets a versatile veteran that fits perfect with their young core.
