<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at the Sunday Standouts from the exciting Prep Hoops Live event in Romeoville.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1432910' first='Oskar' last='Kangas'] 2025 [program_tooltip program_id='2076029' first='Wisconsin' last='Crusaders']&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Very productive morning from Kangas. The 6'6 forward had a very nice dunk cutting down the lane for starters. Then he played well out of the post scoring and passing to cutters himself for assists. Oskar is a problem at times especially when he goes on the perimeter and hits a three or two which he also did in this game. On defense he blocks and altered shots along with being a presence on the defensive boards. Some D2s would love to have a player that plays with this much consistency.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2881313' first='Isaiah' last='Rogers'] 2027 Flight Athletics (Bolingbrook)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rogers is a versatile player with a nice size. He can beat you from the perimeter and inside the paint. Isaiah looked comfortable driving to the rim in one-on-one situations. He scored several opportunities and was fouled in the process.&nbsp; At 6'4 Rogers has the size and skill to be an impact player down the line.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ronnel Johnson 2027 Team Ramey 5'6</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quick guard that sets the tone for his team.&nbsp; He's a pest on defense when he's getting into ball handlers' space. Johnson connected on a few three-pointers and dished out some flashy assists in a losing effort.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2391672' first='Jeffrey' last='Hassan'] 2027 M14Hoops (Kaneland) 6'8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Getting my first look at Hassan after Scott had really good things to say about him the day before. He has a tremendous upside to his game right now. He's very bouncy and athletic right now and he's doing small things that go a long way. He scored well on the offensive glass keeping the ball high and away from opposing players.&nbsp; As a defender he is good with help-side defense getting 3 blocks in limited time on the court. Jeffrey will be a player to watch for the next 3 years.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2455373' first='Oturo' last='Redento'] 2027 M14Hoops (Glenbard North)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Redento has the potential as well at 6'4. He possesses good ball skills at the point he can play some possession at the off guard spot. He was strong getting to the rim off the dribble and scoring with his left hand. Oturo's other moments were after rebounds when he would make full-court passes for layups to teammates. He could be a guy who plays varsity next school season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Derrek Langit&nbsp; 2027 Flight Athletics (Bolingbrook)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I walked away very impressed by how well Langit played with composure in a physical game. Derrek played with lots of confidence in a scrappy game against Team Ramey. He shot the ball well making 3 three-pointers in the contest.&nbsp; As a ball handler he worked well off screens and was able to touch paint several possessions. Langit seems to be adding himself to the plethora of guards at Bolingbrook who can be very good college prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
