Chuck Love
Amare Bynum
TJ Stuttley
Aleks Alston
Tarquez Allen
Konnor Kralik
Phoenix Gill
A squad that will go 11 deep. Their lead guards are Aaron Rowe Aaron Rowe 6'2" | PG Father Tolton | 2025 State #17 Nation MO , Corbin Allen Corbin Allen 6'5" | SG Oak Park | 2025 State #169 Nation MO , and Tarquez Allen. Each brings something different to the table. Rowe is the quickest of the bunch. He will get others involved and make tough plays on the move. Allen is a 6’5 floor general that’s the glue. A great rebounding guard. Tarquez Allen adds a punch of athletic ability. He’s a great transition player. Chuck Love is a prolific shot maker on the wing at 6’6. Makes the three, plays in attack mode, and has a scoring mentality. Phoenix Gill is a top player in Illinois out of Chicago. He can be a big PG or play on the wing. He’s a highly touted prospect with great genes. His impact will be one of the things that allows this team to reach its ceiling. Xavier Wilson Xavier Wilson 6'7" | SF Staley | 2025 State #320 Nation MO , the 6’7 swingman out of Staley, is back for another season. He brings energy on the defensive side of the ball. Amare Bynum and Tristan Reed Tristan Reed 6'8" | PF John Burroughs | 2026 State MO will be one of the most powerful and versatile forward duos in the EYBL. Bynum can be a trailer man who makes the 3 or rips to the rim for dunks. Reed is a traditional 5 man who’s a lot to deal with around the basket. At 6’9 he eats up rebounds and plays with a high level of physicality. He has familiarity with this system. A 2026 playing up who will become a national prospect in the very near future. Lastly, Aleks Alston is another top Illinois prospect who makes his way over to Kansas City. He’s a smooth, lanky, point forward that will do a lot on offense. The 2025 prospect spaces the floor and can make plays away from the basket with ease. A high-major type of talent.
