Remember these are PROSPECT RANKINGS not necessarily what they will do this high school season. It is a long-term look! Here are prospects #11-#15!</p>

<p>The DePaul commit is a player that has steadily improved throughout his career. During June with Oswego East and at The EXPO it was apparent he is now THAT DUDE! He can take over games with his feathery shot making pouring them in off the catch and bounce on a consistent basis. Smooth transition athlete that glides to the bucket. Flashes as a passer including being a primary playmaker at times and has potential on the defensive end.</p>

<p>Williams is the best big man in the sophomore class. The broad shouldered post is an adept finisher on the offensive end as a roller, rim runner, and lob threat! Finishes out of the dunker spot with force. High level rebounder that snatches them with two hands in traffic. Big time potential as a defender with his switchability and shot blocking.</p>

<p><strong>#13 [player_tooltip player_id='1845360' first='Rashaun' last='Porter'] (DePaul Prep – 2026)</strong></p>

<p>Porter is a Toledo commit that might go down as one of the most decorated players in state history as he is going for the four peat this season with the Rams. Porter is a physical presence on the interior with his strength and athleticism. The athletic pop at the rim was taken to another level this summer. He is a high level rebounder that has a nose for the ball.</p>

<p><strong>#14 [player_tooltip player_id='2125687' first='Travis' last='Brown'] (West Aurora – 2027)</strong></p>

<p>Brown is a smooth junior lead guard with a wiry frame. He can create his own offense with handles setting up his slick takes for soft touch finishes along with a sweet pull up game especially in the mid-range. Can stretch it to three when needed. Good set up man that gets others involved. Every time you watch Brown he does something that impresses.</p>

<p><strong>#15 [player_tooltip player_id='2125634' first='Hayden' last='Schroeder'] (Wheaton Academy – 2027)</strong></p>

<p>Schroeder is the top big man in the junior class. Skilled four that has excellent touch and feel for scoring around the hoop. Hook shots, short jumpers, and finishes out of the dunker spot. Can face up and handle it a little. Good rebounder that plays with toughness.</p>
