AJ Demirov AJ Demirov 6'0" | PG Crystal Lake South | 2025 State IL (Crystal Lake South)
Current Ranking: #27
Demirov had an epic junior season. He took his team to the super sectional averaging 19.7 points, 4.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 2.5 steals a contest. The lead guard for Crystal Lake South was a standout with the way he played displaying an excellent feel for the game with his passing feel. Slick ball handler that can win off the bounce. Takes and makes tough jumpers. Primed for a big summer.
Brayden Trimble Brayden Trimble 6'2" | SG Mt. Zion | 2025 State IL (Mt. Zion)
Current Ranking: #79
Trimble will more than likely never pick up a basketball in college as he is one of the state’s premier wide receivers, but he also emerged as a legit hooper this season. Two way threat that can defend at a high level, score in transition, and impact the game with his athleticism.
Brayden Saling Brayden Saling 5'11" | PG Williamsville | 2025 State IL (Williamsville)
Current Ranking: #94
Saling caught our attention at the state finals for the 2A school. The 5’11” point guard is a southpaw that has a clean looking jumper from two and three along with a nifty scoop shot to go with it!
Phoenix Childs Phoenix Childs 6'4" | SF Phillips | 2025 State IL (Phillips)
Current Ranking: #106
Childs is a strong bodied and angular wing that was huge for Phillips down the stretch in their championship run. Three and D wing that can knock down shots, really defend, and is good in the open floor.
Marquis Vance Marquis Vance 6'3" | SF Marist | 2025 State IL (Marist)
Current Ranking: #135
Vance is a high-energy forward who had some big games for Marist throughout the year. He was the perfect glue guy to bridge the gap between the veterans on the team and talented sophomore class.
Caden Workman Caden Workman 6'5" | SF Brother Rice | 2025 State IL (Brother Rice)
Current Ranking: #136
Workman put together a great close to his junior year. On a Brother Rice squad that had a ton of talent it was Workman that consistently stepped up during the second half of the season with big games giving him momentum heading into the spring.
Kobe Taylor Kobe Taylor 6'3" | SF Alton | 2025 State IL (Alton)
Current Ranking: #137
Taylor is a 6’3” small forward that is long and lean. The lefty is good at putting it on the deck for straight line takes and getting out in transition for scores. Potential as a shooter and defender on a young and talented Alton squad.
Darien Green (Christ the King)
Current Ranking: #148
Slick 6’3” junior shooting guard that is one to track down the road! He put up numbers playing off one of the better bigs in 2A. Slick ball handler and explosive driver who flashes as a shooter as well. Look for him to post big numbers as a senior.
