<p class="text-gray-700">Smaller point guard at about 5'5” that helped take his team to state this past season. High level shot maker from beyond the arc who has extremely deep range. Plays with speed in the open floor, active hands on the defensive end creating turnovers, and plays with a ton of flair!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This Decatur Eisenhower 5'9” point guard had a nice showing when we saw him last high school season. We were impressed by his activity level and scrappiness on the defensive end. Speedy guard that pushes it and can get to the rim for acrobatic conversions. Also liked his mid-range pull up game.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Ratliff along with his brother will have a big part to do with the success at Hillcrest this season. Athletic guard that uses soft touch finishes and mixes in pull up threes.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">This is a sneaky guard who plays with a lot of toughness and tenacity on both ends. Quick hands defensively at the point of attack. He also has some quickness off the bounce shaking opponents along with making plays in the open floor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brister caught our attention over the summer as a smaller guard who plays with a ton of speed. Like how he pushes with his speed and has a sweet soft touch finishing game converting floaters around the hoop. Shake to win off the bounce and get to the line.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This 5'10” guard caught our attention with Illinois Stars. Crisp ball handler that can create his shot off the bounce in the mid-range along with using his athleticism at the cup.</p>
