<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saturday played host to Prep Hoops Sophomore ID Camp in Batavia, IL which featured exclusive talent across the state in the class of 2028. In this final short wrap up review, I'll name off the top guys I saw by position who stood out. The following top players per position played on teams 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 15, &amp; 16. Please note out of the estimated 160 players at the event, I was unable to see every single player who was in attendance today.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TOP POINT GUARDS: Players that carried the primary ball handling responsibilities throughout the day.
