The transfer portal is in full go mode in the state of Illinois.  Here we look at the 25 most impactful transfers to date in the state this month that will be playing hoops in Illinois next season.  There will definitely be more added, but this is where we stand as of today.   2026   [player_tooltip player_id='1552625' first='EJ' last='Hazelett'] (Franklin Central, IN to Kankakee)   Hazelett immediately moved into the top 5 after his transfer.  Skilled forward with versatility on both ends should make Kankakee a serious state title contender combined with [player_tooltip player_id='2105360' first='Lincoln' last='Williams'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1874752' first='Kenaz' last='Jackson Jr.']   Jahadi White Jr (Chaminade, MO to East St. Louis)   Massive interior presence is moving across the state line from Missouri where he was a top 10 prospect.  Physical scorer and rebounder that will be one of top posts in state.   [player_tooltip player_id='1873523' first='Jamison' last='White'] (Chaminade, MO to East St. Louis)   The other White brother is a legit mid-major prospect as a small forward with size, athleticism, and skill.   Tim Winkler (DME, FL to Romeoville)   Winkler was the top incoming 8th grader in this class before moving to Florida for his freshman season.  The skilled forward is back and ready to close out his career with a bang at Romeoville.   Charles Barnes (De La Salle to Marist)   Barnes is a long and lanky wing that is versatile with his defense, mid-range shot, and slashing.  Elevates Marist even another step toward the top of the rankings preseason.   [player_tooltip player_id='2298580' first='Kaydin' last='Williams'] (Lincoln Park to Glenbard East)   Williams was a big addition for Glenbard East with his shot making and quickness off the bounce playing next to sharp shooter [player_tooltip player_id='2839863' first='Michael' last='Nee'].   [player_tooltip player_id='2454165' first='Lawson' last='Bynum'] (East St. Louis to O'Fallon)   Bynum missed his junior season, but at O'Fallon we expect a monster senior year playing next to [player_tooltip player_id='1501486' first='Ben' last='Akoro'] as one of the best forward tandems in the state.   [player_tooltip player_id='1552473' first='Alijah' last='Little'] (Whitney Young to Plainfield East)   Little is headed back to Plainfield after a year at Whitney Young.  Plus shot maker from the perimeter that has good athleticism.   [player_tooltip player_id='2376273' first='Zion' last='Lee'] (Sacred Heart Griffin to DePaul Prep)   Long and rangy wing that is a plus defender with offensive versatility.  Will mesh in well at DePaul Prep with several of his program mates on the UAA circuit.   [player_tooltip player_id='1552408' first='TJ' last='Williams'] (Glenbard West to Bolingbrook)   Williams provides another guard to replace the production lost by Thompson's departure out of state.  Had a strong close to his junior campaign.   [player_tooltip player_id='2323271' first='Gavin' last='Mueller'] (Wheaton St. Francis to South Elgin)   The Colorado football commit will be an impactful hooper as a rugged and athletic post that can finish around the rim.   [player_tooltip player_id='2391336' first='Ian' last='Flowers'] (Julian to Perspectives Leadership)   With the coaching change at Julian they lost their best player who will bring a ton to Perspectives Leadership.   [player_tooltip player_id='2334406' first='Kyle' last='Cooper'] (Waltonville to Woodlawn)   Following his family members to Woodlawn this was one most saw coming.  Cooper is a sharp shooter!   [player_tooltip player_id='2323268' first='Tishawn' last='Clemmons'] (Decatur Eisenhower to Decatur MacArthur)   Transferring across town to the rival.  Floor general that has a lot of quickness and intangibles.   [player_tooltip player_id='2507312' first='Dominic' last='Boyd'] (Edwardsville to Metro East Lutheran)   Boyd didn't see a ton of a tick at Edwardsville, but with what we have seen in other settings we believe he will star at Metro East Lutheran.   [player_tooltip player_id='2540127' first='Tyree' last='Brister'] (Collinsville to East St. Louis)   Brister brings the Flyers another quality ball handler to go with their front court talent.   2027   [player_tooltip player_id='2323613' first='Demarco' last='King'] (TF North to Phillips)   King is a long and rangy combo guard with his best basketball ahead of him.  Headed to Phillips for his junior campaign.   [player_tooltip player_id='2455406' first='Kevinas' last='Salkauskas'] (Stagg to Lincoln Way East)   After not playing last year at Stagg this highly ranked junior big man should be a force for Lincoln Way East.   [player_tooltip player_id='2455400' first='Damonte' last='Phillips'] (Decatur Eisenhower to Decatur MacArthur)   Quick and fast lead guard that loves to get downhill in a hurry! Active defender that gets a ton of steals.   [player_tooltip player_id='2455389' first='Arthur' last='Abbey'] (Moline to Rock Island)   Abbey adds yet another quality guard to Rocky's loaded backcourt of options.   [player_tooltip player_id='2469077' first='Tayte' last='Cordova'] (Brentwood, TN to Warren)   Back to Illinois after a year in Tennessee.  Plus shooter from deep that flashed early in his career.   2028   Danielius Salkauskas (Stagg to Lincoln Way East)   Like his brother he will get on a varsity court for the first time already being a legit D1 prospect with his skill level and size.   [player_tooltip player_id='2474926' first='Kayden' last='Turner'] (Metamora to Peoria)   Turner could be the next standout at Peoria after showing flashes as a freshman for Metamora.   [player_tooltip player_id='2369882' first='Vinny' last='Corrado'] (Harvest Christian to St. Viator)   Ranked big man that played well at the Prep Hoops Freshman camp last August.
