<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Illinois Spring Exposure Camp was held over the weekend in Aurora.&nbsp; We have wall to wall coverage of the event for you!&nbsp; Here I dive into the prospects that caught my attention on a pair of the 5 on 5 teams at the event in <strong>PHI Spring Exposure Camp: Team 5 and Team 6 Standouts</strong>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Team 5 Standouts</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552447' first='Tyler' last='Thompson'] (Triad – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thompson has a bright future.&nbsp; The 6'6” small forward brings a nice deal of size, skill, and athleticism to the table.&nbsp; Won on drives with both his right and left hand all day long.&nbsp; Explosive driver that accelerates with ease past his defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1561959' first='Jayson' last='Kowalski'] (Pius, WI – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 6'1” guard from Wisconsin is a thick bodied shooter that let it fly from three.&nbsp; Plus spot up shooter that connected on them in bunches!&nbsp; Also could pull up from distance as well.&nbsp; One of the best shooters at the event.&nbsp; Mixed in some turnaround jumpers in the mid-range and a sweet left handed take.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552401' first='John' last='Vlahos'] (York – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another plus shooter here.&nbsp; The guard drained an array of them in their game particularly feeling it from the corners.&nbsp; Also had a nice spin move for a score along with a put back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chase Dominy (IMG, FL – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another Florida prospect that made the drive up.&nbsp; Dominy got in the lane consistently throughout the event scoring in the paint with a variety of acrobatic finishes.&nbsp; Also proved to be a solid shooter as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1874975' first='Jacob' last='Prahl'] (Tremper, WI – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 6'2” shooting guard is a plus shooter that loved to hit them off the catch from the corners.&nbsp; Got on the offensive glass well for a guard and had a nice right handed take off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1874847' first='Michael' last='Allen'] (Metea Valley – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allen stands at 6'0” playing taller than that with his length.&nbsp; Slick handles getting in the teeth of the defense for scoop shots, layups, and sweeping floaters.&nbsp; Also displayed some creativity as a passer finding his teammates with some nice dishes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Team 6 Standouts</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552438' first='Mason' last='Lockett IV'] (Oswego East – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lockett showed why he is one of the top wings in the Illinois 2026 class in this setting.&nbsp; The silky smooth wing has good positional size at 6'4” with a silky smooth offensive game.&nbsp; Feathery jump shooter raining in threes all game long when we saw him.&nbsp; Also showed a nice passing feel getting others involved.&nbsp; Can attack off the bounce with clean handles and use his length on the defensive end.&nbsp; Primed for a big spring!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kingston Caldwell (Dominican, WI – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caldwell played great next to Lockett.&nbsp; The 6'4” wing loved to put it on the deck especially going behind his back for scores at the rim.&nbsp; Threw down an alley-oop.&nbsp; Tight handles off the bounce, no look passes, and a three.&nbsp; Plays with a high motor and a lot of flair!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2384772' first='AJ' last='Ivy'] (Romeoville – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ivy is a 6'2” guard that was slick taking it off the bounce.&nbsp; Creative ball handler that can get to the rim and also had a sweet side step three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2217986' first='Trey' last='Nguyen'] (Niles West – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Niles West 5'9” lead guard is a lefty that did most of his damage in the lane.&nbsp; Tough slasher converting scoop shots and soft touch finishes.&nbsp; Also stopped and popped on a regular basis from mid-range and stretched it out to three once.&nbsp; Fun player to watch!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389798' first='Kishawn' last='Gantt'] (Bremen – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gantt had one of the plays of the year as the 5'6” point guard from Bremen launched a legit full court shot with one hand like a QB going right through the net.&nbsp; Everyone was in shock of the shot!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
