Braylon Roman Braylon Roman 6'3" | SG Normal Community | 2024 State IL (Normal Community)
Overall Ranking: #17
Roman takes the spot as the top wing in the class. The shooting guard who can also slide over to play on the ball some has excellent size and a great basketball IQ. Long and lanky guard with broad shoulders that can create offense for himself and others. The jumper became more consistent as his career progressed as did his intensity on the defensive end.
Jurrell Baldwin Jurrell Baldwin 6'6" | SF Hyde Park | 2024 State IL (Hyde Park)
Overall Ranking: #19
Baldwin is a big and physical small forward who has all the tools. Strong body, size, and a feathery jumper. When he wants to lock in and take over a game he has a chance to be as dominant as any perimeter player in this class. Baldwin struggled with some injuries as a senior, but when on the floor was good going for 23 points and 12 rebounds.
Shaheed Solebo Shaheed Solebo 6'4" | SF Lane Tech | 2024 State IL (Lane Tech)
Overall Ranking: #20
Solebo is a prospect we have been high on for several years now. The southpaw is a well built wing that can score from all three levels. Explosive burst getting to the rim, rises up over defenders in the mid-range, and is a lethal spot up shot maker. Low-majors in need of a bucket getter this would be a good get. He dropped 15 points and 5 boards for a good Lane Tech squad.
Will Gonzalez Will Gonzalez 6'5" | SF Curie | 2024 State IL (Curie)
Overall Ranking: #21
Gonzalez is a point-forward type player that has a ton going for him. He is a long and lanky wing that can play on the ball at times with his handles and excellent passing feel. Good defender checking multiple positions. The biggest growth we have seen is how well he shot it from deep this year. Low-major prospect. Scored 15 points a game this past year.
Tavariyuan Williams Tavariyuan Williams 6'6" | SF De La Salle | 2024 State IL (De La Salle)
Overall Ranking: #25
Williams is a strong and big wing that is physically imposing. Plus athlete that shows flashes of his immense potential. Whether it is blowing past opponents off the bounce, throwing down dunks in the open floor, or showcasing the upside of his jumper. Also when locked in can really defend. Averaged 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 boards a game for a stacked Meteors squad.
Chase Abraham Chase Abraham 6'0" | SG Thornton | 2024 State IL (Thornton)
Overall Ranking: #34
Abraham was the difference maker for Thornton this season. The transfer was instant offense for his new squad especially early in the season where he drained threes in bunches. Plus shot maker with good athleticism.
Meyoh Swansey Meyoh Swansey 6'3" | SG Thornton | 2024 State IL (Thornton)
Overall Ranking: #35
Swansey was another transfer guard for Thornton that elevated his stock as a senior. High level athlete that loves to get in the 15-18 foot range where he can elevate over defenders for jumpers. Potential as a defender checking both backcourt spots.
Camden Brown Camden Brown 6'5" | SF Quincy | 2024 State IL (Quincy)
Overall Ranking: #37
Brown played on a stacked Quincy squad where the ball was shared. What you are buying with Brown is the size for position, three point making, secondary ball handling, and his defense. A lot of tools in there to be a nice complimentary guy at the D2 level.
Richard Lindsey Richard Lindsey 6'5" | SF De La Salle | 2024 State IL (De La Salle)
Overall Ranking: #39
Lindsey averaged 15 points along with 5 rebounds as a senior. He was the most consistent presence for the Meteors with his scoring. Strong bodied wing that can score from all three levels with his downhill slashing, stop and pop mid-range game, along with his sharp shooting from beyond the arc.
Darshan Thomas Darshan Thomas 6'6" | SF Marist | 2024 State IL (Marist)
Overall Ranking: #45
Thomas is another Swiss Army knife type prospect. Like how he is versatile and can play in different lineups and at various spots. Plus shooter from three especially spotting up. Can defend two, threes, and fours. Will post up smaller wings and can break down defenders if they close on him too hard. He went for 15 points and 8 rebounds a game this year.
Treshawn Blissett Treshawn Blissett 6'5" | SF Waubonsie Valley | 2024 State IL (Waubonsie Valley)

Brings versatility scoring in the open floor, decking it, and contributing across the board. As a senior his stat line was 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals a contest.
Will Ashford Will Ashford 6'5" | SF Metea Valley | 2024 State IL (Metea Valley)
Overall Ranking: #48
Thick bodied small forward that can play some small ball four at the D2 or JUCO level. Like the confidence and consistent production that Ashford brought throughout his career. Shot maker that can also overpower weaker wings in the post. He averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds.
RJ McKinnie RJ McKinnie 6'2" | SG Simeon | 2024 State IL (Simeon)
Overall Ranking: #49
McKinnie waited his turn at Simeon and finally got his shot. Made the most of it as the top senior for the Wolverines .
