<p>There have been quite a few new names emerge over the last several months at the wing positions in the 2028 class! Here are some making their debuts!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3454731' first='DeAndre' last='Burns'] (Danville)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Burns burst on our radar with his play back at Pangos in the late fall. He is a 6'5” wing with length and projection. Can push off the defensive glass, is a willing passer, and has a smooth stroke on his shot flashing potential there. High level athlete playing above the rim in transition along with pick/roll.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3010128' first='Carter' last='Slaise'] (Providence St. Mel)<br></strong><br>Another prospect that emerged at Pangos. He has positional size at 6'5” with a rangy frame. Plus athlete that is quick off the ground. Handles it well off the bounce getting downhill to the rack. Quality rebounder especially with his explosive second jump. Rangy defender.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2875754' first='Charlie' last='Ellis'] (New Trier)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ellis is a 6'3” sniper from distance that can really shoot it with a sweet lefty shot. Particularly effective from the corners. Plays well through contact. Look for his stock to rise with the graduation of the Trevians upperclassmen.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3454788' first='Jaquan' last='Harris'] (Bloom)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Liked what Harris brought at Pontiac as a 6'0” two guard with plus athleticism, defense, and shot making upside.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2839935' first='George' last='Schager'] (Glenbard North)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Schager has been a spark for Glenbard North with his shooting from the perimeter. Like the size and potential to continue to get stronger.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2826283' first='Jacob' last='Marlow'] (Webber)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The bouncy shooting guard is under the shadow of his older brother, but he has game. More athleticism, rebounds, and defends.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3454797' first='Avery' last='Neathery'] (Triopia)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Neathery is a 6'3” two guard that had a big outing recently when we saw him. Quality athlete that is crafty getting buckets with nifty finishing moves. Back cuts, spinning layups, and is a solid shooter.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3454813' first='Marion' last='Persich'] (La Salle-Peru)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This is one of the better quarterbacks in the 2028 class, but has a nice fall back option in hoops. Strong framed wing that can drive the basketball with his strength and handles. Competitive kid with natural talent!</p>
