Tristian Ford Tristian Ford 6'2" | PG Chi-Prep | 2025 State #158 Nation IL (Chi-Prep – 2025)
Ford is a slick ball handler at the lead guard position. He was injured when we saw them earlier in the season, but is back and looks the part of a big time prospect. Smooth with the ball in his hands manipulating the defense with his elite handles. Liked how well he passed in this game whether it was in the pick/roll, drive/kick, or dishing off to his big men. Also skipped a couple across the court in the half court to shooters. As a scorer he hit a couple threes shooting it with confidence. The southpaw has good mechanics on his shot. Mixed in a baseline fadeaway and overall was just so quick with the rock. Defensively he is active with his hands getting steals and taking them the other way with speed including a dunk on one. Finished with 13 points and 7 dimes.
Mike Jones Mike Jones 6'7" | PF Chi-Prep | 2025 State #164 Nation IL (Chi-Prep – 2025)
Jones is a strong and broad shouldered four man that can really board. Plays with a high-motor and gets to the charity stripe at a high rate. Offensively he is best finishing out of the dunker spot, as dive threat, and dominating the offensive glass. Can put it on the deck from the mid-range. His jumper did show some flashes in this one hitting a baseline two along with a corner three. Elite level rebounder on both ends that plays taller than his size. Defensively he had several steals in this one as well racking up 20 points and 13 rebounds.
Latrell Kelley Latrell Kelley 5'10" | PG Chi-Prep | 2026 State IL (Chi-Prep – 2026)
Kelley is the third ranked prospect from Chi-Prep that played in this one. Scoring combo guard that can knock it down from three and loves to pull up in that 15 foot range. Racked up 12 points in the win.
