PHI Freshman Showcase: Mike’s Top Positional Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The diaper dandies of Illinois showed out in bunches to compete in Prep Hoops Sunday afternoon camp session. From bigs to guards and everything in between, we had an opportunity to see 160+ players from all over the state compete. I will wrap up the 2029 camp by giving you my top guys by position. Please note due to the magnitude of the event, I did not have the chance to see all athletes at this showcase. Let's get into it below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TOP POINT GUARDS: The ball handlers of the day. Some of these athletes may have went into combo guard roles at times during camp. Obviously with time to grow and mature, they could fit into other positions as years roll on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2532311' first='AJ' last='Williams'] - 5'8 - Providence Catholic - Mokan Elite EYBL<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2791474' first='Terrence' last='Whitfield'] - 5'9 - Bolingbrook - [program_tooltip program_id='2622592' first='Flight' last='Athletics']<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2918202' first='Kaden' last='McClellan'] - 5'8 - Bloomington Township - Mac Ervin Fire<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2917035' first='Mosiah' last='Tang'] - 5'10 - East Aurora - [program_tooltip program_id='2078448' first='Illinois' last='Wolves'] <br>[player_tooltip player_id='2816854' first='Andre' last='Tucker Jr'] - 5'6 - Leo - Geek Squad<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2780838' first='Oliver' last='Lavin'] - 5'10 - Lincoln Way East - [program_tooltip program_id='2452456' first='Mac' last='Irvin Fire']<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2906817' first='Kaidan' last='Mporokoso'] - 6'1 - Waubonsie Valley - [program_tooltip program_id='2622592' first='Flight' last='Athletics']<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TOP WINGS: Played in the off guard position at camp.
