<p>We are starting to learn some new names in the 2029 class. There were five that caught our attention at Riverside Brookfield over the weekend. Remember these names!</p>

<p><strong>DK Heard (Mt. Carmel – 2029)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Heard has been called the headliner of this incoming freshman class. He is a 6'5” small forward that has the look for sure. Long, athletic, and broad shoulders. Fluid movement skills. Showed all of that off in the open floor getting to the rack along with making trips to the charity stripe. Flashed as a defender.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2767906' first='Ronald' last='Johnson'] (Mt. Carmel – 2029)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson is a big guard at 6'3” that physically was impressive. Showed some basketball IQ making quick passes on the move, acrobatic finishes, and looked like he belonged already on the varsity level.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Keiwon Gulley (Bloom – 2029)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gulley had big numbers early in the event and we saw it in person on Sunday morning. He is a 6'0” point guard that can really score it. Capable three point shooter that has handles and speed to create off the bounce. Scored 22 points against Metea Valley. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2886496' first='Travis' last='Jamison'] (Whitney Young - 2029)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jamison is a 6'3” combo guard that shined right off the bat on Friday. He shot it well from beyond the arc hitting three of them from distance. Good positional size and shooting with fluid athleticism is a great starting place!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2405910' first='Denym' last='Wallace'] (New Trier – 2029)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wallace is a name we had heard some buzz about coming into the summer. At about 6'6” the power forward is a two sport standout that is playing up on the 17U level for [program_tooltip program_id='2075481' first='Fundamental' last='U']. He has the strength and physicality to do that which was evident with how he played on the glass gobbling up rebounds in bunches. Scored with toughness and some skill down low along with a top of the key three.</p>
