Skilled face up four man that brings a lot of versatility to the table. Rebounds and seems to have a nose for the basketball at all times. Passes, rebounds, and can shoot it.

Wright isn’t getting tick on varsity either for Lane, but he showed a ton of upside at the Prep Hoops Top 250s. Bouncy four that is a high level rim protector and switchable defender that rim runs.
Chris Bolte Chris Bolte 6'5" | PF St. Ignatius | 2026 State IL (St. Ignatius)
Current Ranking: #53
Bolte is a stretch four for St. Ignatius that can hit an open three and provides toughness on the boards. Gritty rebounder and solid defender.
Ty Laur Ty Laur 6'6" | C Pinckneyville | 2026 State IL (Pinckneyville)
Current Ranking: #57
This 6’5” five should continue to grow and is already flashing impressive skill on the block with spins and hooks. Solid area rebounder and has some passing feel.

Current Ranking: #59
Carmicle broke out at Chicago Elite Classic with his frame, strength, and length. Good offensive rebounder and has a turnaround jumper.
