<p>One of the best parts of the Prep Hoops Circuit is new names emerging on the radar. Here is a look at some of the best that broke out in Chicago's first stop of the spring in <strong>Chi-Town Tip Off: 2027 New Names Emerge</strong>!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3575083' first='Enoch' last='Olukolade'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2076459' first='Breakaway' last=''] Gold)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Oak Forest 6'6” power forward jumped off the court to us with his relentless motor on the glass snatching them in traffic with two hands. Also finished very well out of the dunker spot and playing off his athleticism. Going to be a productive rising senior post for Oak Forest.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Joey Kramer (M14 Gold)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This 6'0” shooting guard from Marmion Academy played well in the game we caught him with M14. Plus shooter from three with a strong and compact frame. Mixed in turnaround jumpers and flashed a little athleticism.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2390275' first='Carson' last='Miller'] (M14 North 1)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Miller is a two guard from Plainfield North that has a clean looking shot. Made them from both the baseline and extended to beyond the arc in the corner in the game we saw him play.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3443543' first='Bryce' last='Goss'] (M14 North 1)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Goss is another M14 guard that showed some intriguing tools heading into rest of the spring as a potential small college target. Capable shooter and good rebounder for a guard.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2371812' first='Justin' last='Freeman'] (M14 North 1)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Andrew point guard who has a good feel for dishing the rock in the drive and kick along with stopping and popping from 15 feet for jumpers.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Brenden Pettigrew (Illinois Prestige)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Big man from Walther Christian that goes about 6'6” showed some promising physical and skill tools in the half we saw for Illinois Prestige. Good frame to work with and had a nice looking hook shot. Also banged in a three.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Demarion Clark (Illinois Prestige)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Clark is a strong bodied wing from Fenger who pushes the issue with his game off the dribble and gets to the offensive glass for put backs from the perimeter.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2409318' first='Josiah' last='Perez'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2622592' first='Flight' last='Athletics'])</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Metea Valley forward was outstanding in the game we saw on Saturday. Broad shouldered combo forward with a quick second jump on the offensive glass, can handle it a little, and is a spot up shooter especially from the corners.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Maurice Ogelsby Jr ([program_tooltip program_id='2622592' first='Flight' last='Athletics'])</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hinsdale South point guard is a small and stocky guard that gets to the cup for scoop shots and creative finishes with his quickness off the dribble. Also knocked in a couple of threes including a really tough step back.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Beji Lowe (Illinois Mavericks)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lowe burst on our radar with a solid game out of Brownstown. He is a shooting guard that knocked in several jumpers against [program_tooltip program_id='2076459' first='Breakaway' last='']. Also got loose a few times in transition for scores.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Braylon Mills (Illinois Mavericks)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another solid shot maker from the 618 to keep tabs on is this Paris point guard. Made several threes along with getting in the mid-range for pull ups.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jeffrey Wilder (Geek Squad)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Long and rangy small forward from Oak Lawn at 6'3” who has some projection to his game. Oak Lawn is losing a lot of senior talent, but this should be a reliable piece for them going forward. Good athlete that looked comfortable shooting it and had an acrobatic layup.</p>
