<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Windy City War featured some of the premier teams from Illinois and the Midwest.&nbsp; Prep Hoops had tons of coverage from the event.&nbsp; We continue to dive into it here in <strong>Windy City War: Illinois 2028 New Names Emerge!</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2877516' first='Bryant' last='Beck'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2785912' first='Team' last='FVV'] 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Winnebago 6'5” power forward has a long and lanky frame.&nbsp; He is a good rim runner that has some nice moves around the hoop and even decked it a little off shot fakes.&nbsp; Really like his potential as a rim protector on the defensive end blocking shots and being a mobile defender up front.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2877535' first='Sincere' last='Embrey'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2785912' first='Team' last='FVV'] 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Embrey flashed in limited minutes for FVV.&nbsp; The Belvidere 6'4” combo forward is oozing with potential.&nbsp; Hit a short jumper, but overall game needs refinement.&nbsp; The potential is certainly there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2819731' first='Solomon' last='Morrison'] (M14 Gold 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Second event in a row that Morrison ended up here.&nbsp; Athletic 6'4” small forward that plays well in the pick/roll, out of the dunker spot, and can hit an open three.&nbsp; Quick passer on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2436293' first='Cole' last='Christian'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2078408' first='Team' last='Rose'] 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Christian is a 6'4” power forward from Lane Tech.&nbsp; He was effective as an active offensive rebounder and finished with quickness around the hoop.&nbsp; Good athlete that also flashed as a shot blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2434317' first='Elijah' last='Willoughby'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2078408' first='Team' last='Rose'] 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This St. Ignatius 6'4” post is an intriguing prospect.&nbsp; Big bodied post that has some upside.&nbsp; Finished out of the dunker spot, showed touch, and passed to cutters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2842573' first='Blake' last='Choice'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2078448' first='Illinois' last='Wolves'] 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DePaul Prep 6'3” [player_tooltip player_id='2842573' first='Blake' last='Choice'] is a combo guard that plays mostly on the ball.&nbsp; Excellent size at a young age with a good frame.&nbsp; Like the feel he showed as a passer running the team while still finding his spots to score with a nice looking jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2842584' first='Sincere' last='Williams'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2078448' first='Illinois' last='Wolves'] 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Metea Valley 6'7” five man that has a strong build.&nbsp; Liked how physical he was on the glass.&nbsp; Has the physical tools to be intriguing down the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2384525' first='Bryce' last='Bell'] (AyoDosElite 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bell is a small guard from Whitney Young that got on a heater against Herro.&nbsp; He is a plus shooter from three that had it rolling with his shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>DJ Caldwell ([program_tooltip program_id='2076459' first='Breakaway' last=''] 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another St. Ignatius product here.&nbsp; Caldwell has shot up height wise since we last saw him about 9 months ago.&nbsp; Up to 6'3” now the shooting guard is a quality shooter created space in the mid-range with his jump shot.&nbsp; Scored on back cuts and displayed activity on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2766431' first='Kyler' last='Payne'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2076459' first='Breakaway' last=''] 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Waubonsie Valley 6'5” post that rebounds well in the area, ran the floor, and showed some passing instincts for a big man.&nbsp; One to continue to track.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2715607' first='Kelechi' last='Enyia'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2076459' first='Breakaway' last=''] 15U)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Enyia had a big showing for [program_tooltip program_id='2076459' first='Breakaway' last=''].&nbsp; The 6'1” Providence Catholic guard is a well built scorer that went out and got buckets.&nbsp; Slashes off the bounce, threw down a big dunk on a backdoor pass, and hit a three in the game we saw.&nbsp; Cuts well off the ball.&nbsp; Got a block and went coast to coast for a finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
