<p>The latest 2026 rankings have been unveiled! With that we look at the best wings that remain on the board uncommitted for colleges heading into the home stretch of the season!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105360' first='Lincoln' last='Williams'] (Kankakee)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Williams is the top prospect overall in the senior class. He still remains uncommitted. Long and athletic wing has two way monster potential when locked in. Great length and athleticism play well on the defensive end being disruptive in passing lanes. Offensively he is at his best in transition, slashing, and when his jumper is on he is pretty much unguardable.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1845354' first='Oliver' last='Gray'] (Barrington)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gray is among the most under recruited seniors in the class. Wiry wing with a frame to fill out in college with plus athleticism. His biggest strength is his three point shooting where he can pour them in with a feathery shot. Moves extremely well without the ball to get open. More than just a shooter he has proven to be a much improved driver and overall playmaker over the last year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552441' first='Josh' last='Abushanab'] (Glenbard West)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Abushanab is a bucket getter! The senior wing has size and strength to be a major impact player at the next level with his three level scoring prowess. When he gets rolling he can carry a team pouring in jumpers from two and three along with using his long strides to attack downhill.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552436' first='Karson' last='Thomas'] (Marist)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thomas is a two way wing that brings strength and athleticism to the table. He is at his best playing off those physical tools getting downhill and to the rack. Plays above the rim in transition with dunks and can defend multiple positions. Jumper is the swing skill here.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552445' first='Charles' last='Barnes Jr']. (Marist)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Barnes is a long and rangy wing that should be a plus defender and rebounder at the next level from his wing position. Does a lot of his damage off his activity level and quickness. High-motor player that scores around the hoop with takes and on the offensive glass.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105396' first='Cameron' last='Mercer'] (Riverside Brookfield)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mercer has been a steady player throughout his career at the two guard spot that is having a solid senior season. Shot it very well when we saw him at [program_tooltip program_id='2078408' first='Team' last='Rose'] as he was getting to his spots and rising up over defenders for feathery shots consistently.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552408' first='TJ' last='Williams'] (Bolingbrook)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Williams has helped his stock with a big season after joining the Raiders for his final high school year. Lengthy wing that has become a consistent #2 option behind Pettigrew for The Brook. Feathery mid-range game, rangy defender, and active rebounder for a wing. Long ball is the swing skill as when he is hitting it he is really tough.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1790001' first='Eddie' last='Smajic'] (Columbia)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Smajic missed most of the summer with an injury, but came back earlier than expected and had a strong showing when we saw him. Big and physical frame with a plus shot from deep. Can really bang in shots from the perimeter which is what should earn him D2 looks at the next level.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2277698' first='Miccah' last='Butler'] (Edwardsville)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Butler is another southern Illinois wing that has positional size and shot making ability. Feathery and pure stroke from beyond the arc especially off the catch.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105414' first='Sean' last='Lee'] (Decatur MacArthur)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lee is a strong bodied small forward that can also play some small ball four at the next level. Quickness and strength around the hoop through contact and on the glass. He is a solid mid-range shooter, defender, and improving passer.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552447' first='Tyler' last='Thompson'] (Triad)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thompson is a skilled wing from the metro east that can score from multiple levels. He has excellent size with the ability to handle it, playmake, and shoot it from distance.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2416503' first='Charlie' last='Pomis'] (Hersey)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pomis lit up the Elgin tournament in the quarters with a 34 point outing where he exploded to the rim for slams and then poured in mid-range jumpers and threes at a super high clip the rest of the game!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323275' first='Adam' last='Flowers'] (Downers Grove South)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Creative scoring guard that loves to get in the lane and score at the rack off the bounce where he can convert with either hand. Been the clear go to guy for DGS this year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2822953' first='Alex' last='Johnson'] (East St. Louis)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson has been on the radar for quite some time now. He is a silky smooth two guard that can get buckets from multiple levels.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552473' first='Alijah' last='Little'] (Plainfield East)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Little is a born bucket getter! He is back at Plainfield East where he is the go to scoring option. Can create his own shot off the bounce on both drives and jumpers.</p>
