Jaylan McElroy Jaylan McElroy 6'7" | PF DePaul Prep | 2024 State #262 Nation IL (DePaul Prep)
Overall Ranking: #23
McElroy checks in as the top uncommitted post in the class. Long and rangy lefty that brings athleticism and plays larger than his height with his long arms and mobility. Defense first for McElroy as he is a good post defender that is switchable and has a knack for blocking shots. Offensively he is adept at getting on the offensive glass, rim running, and scoring out of the dunker spot. This year he posted averages of 13 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block. Low-majors, high D2s, and JUCOs look at him!
Stefan Cicic Stefan Cicic 7'0" | C Riverside Brookfield | 2024 State IL (Riverside Brookfield)
Overall Ranking: #30
Cicic is a wide bodied five from Riverside Brookfield that towers over opponents as one of the tallest players in the state this past season. Garners deep post position on a consistent basis scoring with hook shots or dunks. Also improved his ability to space as a shooter over the last couple of years. Rebounds extremely well in his area. He went for 19 points and 12 rebounds this year at RB.
Noah Cleveland Noah Cleveland 6'8" | C Normal Community | 2024 State IL (Normal Community)
Overall Ranking: #36
Cleveland missed his junior season, but came back refreshed and took it to opponents from last summer to the final game of the year in Champaign. Good size, strength, and frame. Gritty post that scores around the hoop with quick and assertive moves. Can hit a three. Gets on the offensive glass and is a good athlete. Went for 10 points and 6 rebounds a game on a balanced squad.
James Bullock James Bullock 6'7" | PF Marian Catholic | 2024 State IL (Marian Catholic)
Overall Ranking: #38
Bullock was excellent throughout his career. Lot of untapped potential still in there. Long and lanky post that can play inside and out. Good touch on his face up jumper, fluid athlete that runs the floor, and protects the rim. Rebounds well in his area. Plus athlete that screams upside!
CJ Worsham CJ Worsham 6'7" | PF Christ the King | 2024 State IL (Christ the King)
Overall Ranking: #41
Worsham is a strong bodied five that is a bit undersized, but makes up for it with his strength and explosiveness around the hoop. Like how hard he plays and with an edge. Quick and athletic moves on the interior. Volume rebounder. For his 2A school he averaged 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 dimes a game.
Calvin Robins Jr Calvin Robins Jr 6'5" | PF Kenwood | 2024 State IL (Kenwood)
Overall Ranking: #42
Bouncy four man that relies on his high-motor and athleticism. Gets on the offensive glass for second chance points, scores in transition, and has a nice short jumper. Rebounds well in his area. Stepped up in the playoffs when everyone else was ruled ineligible.
Luke Hopp Luke Hopp 6'8" | C Metamora | 2024 State IL (Metamora)
Overall Ranking: #43
Hopp is a sleeper big man that flies under the radar with all the star power Metamora had. What we like about him is he plays within himself. Rebounds well in his area and is efficient as a scorer. Has the size and could be a developmental big at the D2 level.
Zavier Fitch Zavier Fitch 6'7" | PF Brother Rice | 2024 State IL (Brother Rice)
Overall Ranking: #44
Super athletic power forward for the Catholic League power. A lot of pop here with upside to still be unveiled as he averaged a double double of 14 points and 10 rebounds.
JJ Hernandez JJ Hernandez 6'6" | PF Glenbard North | 2024 State IL (Glenbard North)
Overall Ranking: #50
Hernandez is an excellent defensive player that blocks shots, gets steals, and can play both inside and on the perimeter. Plus athlete with good size and developing offensive skill who averaged as a senior 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists a game.
Alioune Mbaye Alioune Mbaye 6'7" | PF De La Salle | 2024 State IL (De La Salle)
Overall Ranking: #51
Mbaye is a strong bodied post that emerged last summer with the Chicago Demons . High level rebounder in his area that anchors down low scoring with efficiency. Major sleeper as he was the fourth option on his team. Knows how to play in a system.
Zachary Chambers Zachary Chambers 6'9" | C Collinsville | 2024 State IL (Collinsville)
Overall Ranking: #52
Chambers had a monster senior season for Collinsville. Big and physical lefty that carves out space on the interior. He makes quick moves, loves to seal, and finishes out of the dunker spot. Rebounds well in his area. Old school big man!
Jalen Crues Jalen Crues 6'6" | PF Glenbard North | 2024 State IL (Glenbard North)
Overall Ranking: #57
Bouncy four man that was injured at the end of the season. Plus athlete that can play the either forward spot as he averaged 15 points and 6 rebounds a game during his senior season. Fits the JUCO game perfectly, but is worth a look for D2s.
