Adam Anwar Adam Anwar 6'7" | PF McHenry | 2026 State IL (McHenry)
Previous Ranking: NR
Current Ranking: #19
Anwar popped off the floor to us at Pangos in the fall. At 6’7” the post has size and skill utilizing hooks, posting up strong, and has face up potential. Shot it well from mid-range and three. Can deck it a little too. Lot of upside here!
Pablo Rodriguez Pablo Rodriguez 6'9" | C Chi-Prep | 2026 State IL (Chi-Prep)
Previous Ranking: NR
Current Ranking: #20
Liked what we saw from Rodriguez as well at Pangos as a floor stretching 6’9” center with a sweet lefty shot. Skilled five that can pass, move, and handle. Gets up and down the floor and has shown flashes on the Grind Session with Chi-Prep
Jake Pollack Jake Pollack 6'8" | PF Deerfield | 2026 State IL (Deerfield)
Previous Ranking: #32
Current Ranking: #22
Pollack is a versatile inside/outside threat. Plus shooter from beyond the arc especially off the catch. Good low post scorer where he makes quick moves and plays with physicality on the interior along with the glass. Already the man for Deerfield as a sophomore.
Jayden Madden Jayden Madden 6'9" | C Romeoville | 2026 State IL (Romeoville)
Previous Ranking: NR
Current Ranking: #31
Madden caught our attention with the Chicago Demons in the summer and at a M14 Fall workout. He doesn’t really play much on varsity this year, but his upside is tremendous. The 6’9” post is so fluid running up and down the floor. Gets second chance points on the offensive glass, seals on the block, and is a lob threat. Flashes some shooting in the mid-range. Big time shot blocker.
Bryce Wegrzyn Bryce Wegrzyn 6'7" | C Libertyvillle | 2026 State IL (Libertyville)
Previous Ranking: NR
Current Ranking: #32
Wegrzyn is another prospect that made his name in the fall at Pangos. At 6’7” he has mobility and gets up down the floor with ease. Lon threat, hook shots, and rebounds well on both ends.
JC Anderson JC Anderson 6'7" | C Mt. Zion | 2026 State IL (Mt. Zion)
Previous Ranking: NR
Current Ranking: #45
Anderson is also a top football prospect, but has made noise on the hardwood for one of the best teams in the state this season. The 6’7” post has a strong frame. Quickness inside along with power finishing through his defenders. Volume rebounder and shows flashes defensively as a shot blocker.
