<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105360' first='Lincoln' last='Williams'] (Kankakee)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You can't really boost your stock more than #1 in a class. That is where Williams has been for the last year, but his performance against Oswego absolutely set that in stone. It was the most dominant two way performance we have seen out of Williams in his career. Offensively he was a force in transition as a dynamic finisher, shot it well from three, and defensively was a monster. He swatted multiple three point attempts with his length and anticipation. When that locked in every high-major in the Midwest should be involved.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552436' first='Karson' last='Thomas'] (Marist)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thomas is a strong and powerful wing that plays with a high-motor. His intensity on both ends really stood out over the weekend. He is such an athletic and physical slasher that gets to the rim with strength where he finishes through contact at the rim. Good overall skill set as a connective passer and capable shooter. Big time wing defender.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323620' first='Ed' last='Stasys'] (Benet)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stasys was phenomenal in their game against Oswego East. His stock has been rising since the end of the high school season. It was his dominance on the glass that was super impressive. He controlled both the offensive and defensive glass. Quickness on his second jump. Played above the rim running the floor and catching lobs on a regular basis. Mobile four man that can also shoot it on occasion from three and cuts off the ball. Arrow is pointing straight up for the Benet big man.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105390' first='Jayden' last='Wright'] (Benet)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wright was impressive not in the way he usually is. He is known more as a lead guard that can really shoot it from distance. The rising senior can still do that, but it ws his passing that caught our attention. Throwing lobs, hitting shooters, and pushing the pace. His growth as a floor general was what puts him here!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552486' first='Danny' last='Houlihan'] (New Trier)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Shooters with size play! That is what Houlihan brings to the table. He is a plus three point shooter off the catch along with being able to step in and knock down mid-range shots. Showed some flashes cutting off the ball for scores at the rim. His biggest value is definitely his long distance marksmanship.</p>

<p><strong>J'dyn Lloyd (Belleville West)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This 2027 wing was maybe the biggest stock riser of the weekend. The metro east shooting guard has grown and gotten stronger since we last saw him during the high school season. Explosive burst with the ball going downhill where he can finish with power along with euro steps. Like a running back coming at you with the ball in transition. In the second game we saw him he shot it better from the perimeter knocking in several crisp shots. Played with a high-motor and a lot of intensity on both ends.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1873523' first='Jamison' last='White'] (East St. Louis)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>White is a power forward that transferred in from Chaminade. The rising senior was without his fellow highly ranked brother over the weekend, but it gave him an even larger opportunity to shine. White has tremendous size, strength, and skill combination. Powerful with the ball in his hands attacking downhill and in transition as he is like a freight train coming at you. Threw down some nasty dunks throughout the event. Can operate as a face up player with his handles along with being a capable shooter from mid-range and three. Plays with intensity on the defensive end of the floor making key plays at important moments.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1845354' first='Oliver' last='Gray'] (Barrington)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gray is a long and rangy 2026 wing that has such a fluidity to his game. Good positional size and is a plus shooter rising up from both three and mid-range. He pushes coast to coast in transition and finishes well at the rack. Mid-majors and low-majors are starting to show interest.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532254' first='Jaymon' last='Hornsby'] (Lincoln Way East)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hornsby had a big showing for Lincoln Way East. He is a combo guard that consistently got in the lane where he finished with mid-range jumpers or creativity at the cup for layups. Small colleges should have him on their radars.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194655' first='Braydon' last='Porter'] (Yorkville)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Porter is a big, physical, and athletic 2028 wing that continues to get better each time out. He is explosive with the rock on straight line takes getting downhill to the rack or being fouled. One of the best bursts we saw all weekend. Explosive slasher that can also shoot it well from the perimeter as in one game he made three triples. Improving as a connective passer as well with the tools to be a quality wing defender. One of the best wings in the 2028 class.</p>
