Jurrell Baldwin Jurrell Baldwin 6'6" | SF Hyde Park | 2024 State IL (Hyde Park)
Baldwin sets at the top of the board with his size for position and strength on the wing. Can make shots and play with physicality. Legit low-major prospect for sure!
Jaylan McElroy Jaylan McElroy 6'7" | PF DePaul Prep | 2024 State #262 Nation IL (DePaul Prep)
McElroy is a long and rangy four that plays taller than his height because of his length and athleticism. Plus post defender that blocks shots and finishes well around the hoop with his mobility.
Camden Cerese Camden Cerese 6'2" | PG Lake Park | 2024 State IL (Lake Park)
Cerese is the top point guard still on the board. He can run a team with excellent decision making and has a knack for dishing it with flair. Elite shot maker from all over the floor and can get past defenders off the bounce. Low-majors are INSANE for not being all over him!
Braylon Roman Braylon Roman 6'3" | SG Normal Community | 2024 State IL (Normal Community)
Roman is a two guard for Normal Community that can also play on the ball in a pinch. Versatile prospect that stuffs the stat sheet, defends, and can score from all three levels. Low-majors and JUCOs should be monitoring him the rest of the tournament.
Will Gonzalez Will Gonzalez 6'5" | SF Curie | 2024 State IL (Curie)
This Curie point-forward is a good ball handler and distributor with size. Much improved as a shooter hitting threes at a good clip as a senior while also being a very good defender.
Tavariyuan Williams Tavariyuan Williams 6'6" | SF De La Salle | 2024 State IL (De La Salle)
Williams is a big and athletic small forward that can also play some small ball four. Stretches it to three on occasion and is an absolute force in transition getting downhill!
Camden Brown Camden Brown 6'5" | SF Quincy | 2024 State IL (Quincy)
Brown is a guy that I don’t understand why more D2s aren’t on him. Lanky wing that can really shoot it off the catch. When defenders close he can attack. Sound secondary passer and has potential as a defender.
Noah Cleveland Noah Cleveland 6'8" | C Normal Community | 2024 State IL (Normal Community)
Cleveland has shined as a senior with his toughness and crafty scoring inside. Kid is a monster on the glass as well. One of the most underrated seniors in the state.
James Bullock James Bullock 6'7" | PF Marian Catholic | 2024 State IL (Marian Catholic)
Bullock has everything low-major and D2 programs could look for in a post. Length, athleticism, and skill. Impacts on both ends with his rim protection, rebounding, rim running, and ability to stretch the floor.
CJ Worsham CJ Worsham 6'7" | PF Christ the King | 2024 State IL (Christ the King)
Worsham is a grown man on the interior for CTK. Physical and athletic post that mauls on the glass and plays with a ton of physicality on the interior.
Isaiah Green Isaiah Green 6'1" | PG Thornton | 2024 State IL (Thornton)
Green is among the premier perimeter defenders in the senior class. This year he has also really improved his floor game running a team and getting others involved while picking his spots to score.
Chase Abraham Chase Abraham 6'0" | SG Thornton | 2024 State IL (Thornton)
Abraham made a huge jump up the board with a strong first half. Plus shooter from three that has been nailing them ever since landing at Thornton.
Meyoh Swansey Meyoh Swansey 6'3" | SG Thornton | 2024 State IL (Thornton)
Swansey is a big time athlete that attacks the hoop with force! Also can really knock down pull ups from 15-18 feet with regularity.
Calvin Robins Jr Calvin Robins Jr 6'5" | PF Kenwood | 2024 State IL (Kenwood)
He is the only senior and primary big man left for Kenwood. College coaches will get to see an expanded role for this high-motor four man that rebounds at a very high rate.
Zavier Fitch Zavier Fitch 6'7" | PF Brother Rice | 2024 State IL (Brother Rice)
Fitch is a freak show athlete that brings versatility on both ends of the floor. So quick around the hoop scoring and rebounding while being a good defender.
Alioune Mbaye Alioune Mbaye 6'7" | PF De La Salle | 2024 State IL (De La Salle)
Mbaye is a sleeper of sleepers that a JUCO could develop into something special! Good size and skill level. Love how efficient he is on the block. D2s could get a steal if they take a shot.
Richard Lindsey Richard Lindsey 6'5" | SF De La Salle | 2024 State IL (De La Salle)
Lindsey is a wing scorer that puts up points in a hurry with his strength and shot making being able to put it in the bucket from all three levels.
Luke Hopp Luke Hopp 6'8" | C Metamora | 2024 State IL (Metamora)
Hopp is a glue guy for Metamora, but one that we feel would be a perfect fit for a D2 program. He knows how to board and play within a system. Finishes around the hoop at a high clip.
Darshan Thomas Darshan Thomas 6'6" | SF Marist | 2024 State IL (Marist)
Thomas is a PHI favorite as he is peaking at the right time. Been a fan for years as the small forward can shoot it from distance while also defending multiple positions. Three and D is always an asset at the next level!
Treshawn Blissett Treshawn Blissett 6'5" | SF Waubonsie Valley | 2024 State IL (Waubonsie Valley)
Blissett is a long and wiry strong small forward that does a little bit of everything. Slasher that can score in the half court and transition. Also is a good wing defender.
