five star prospect.  The Bolingbrook two guard was lethal scoring in every way possible.  Straight line takes blowing past defenders like they were statues.  Cross overs shaking defenders out of their shoes for finishes at the cup.  Crisp pullup jumpers in the mid-range along with creating off the bounce for threes.  Caught a sick lob dunk and got to his spots pretty much at will.</p> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelly is the real deal!  The Neuqua Valley small forward is one of the most skilled players in the entire country in his class.  He is a point-forward with elite passing instincts both in the half court and open floor.  The way he sees the game is super impressive!  Quality rebounder with a clean looking jumper that can shot fake getting to the rim.  Such a well rounded player that can beat a team in so many different ways!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vahl was absolute in a zone against a good Benet team.  He was really the only one on his team that could score as he notched 31 points.  The skilled guard is a lights out shooter with a feathery touch pouring in three after three until he went all the way back to the volleyball line to throw one in.  Created most of his looks on his own.  Mixed in some 15 footers, floaters, and transition buckets.  Nice outlet pass and hit a cutter for a bucket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jakstys had a very strong showing on the second day of RB.  Put back to back impressive performances together when we saw him.  More of a wing than his brother although he can also be looked at as a stretch four.  Handles it very well both in the open floor and half court.  Put it on the deck attacking the defense with his long strides for scores in the paint.  Plus athlete that plays with a very high motor.  Pushes it off the defensive glass.  Clean looking shot from three and is an impactful defender covering a ton of ground.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saw Smith drop 30 on the court next to me in one game where you kept seeing his head above the rim!  Then on Sunday against Plainfield East he went to work again!  Smith is a combo forward with a nice combination of athleticism, skill, and versatility.  Explosive finisher in transition along with being able to deck it beating his defender one on one.  Stop and pop jumper in the mid-range, hook shots, and got in on the offensive glass for put backs.  High points rebounds in traffic.  Cuts well off the ball.  Quality defender and connective passer.  Checks a lot of boxes!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!--

a breakout weekend putting together a nice string of games.  We caught the first one where he was pouring in feathery threes spotting up from the corners.  Plus shooter as a stretch four that also drained some tough turnaround jumpers in the mid-post area along with having the ability to put it on the deck for scores.  Rim runs and cuts off the ball as well.  Rebounded well on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It is Choice's team now at DePaul Prep and he played like it against East St. Louis.  The long and wiry combo guard has nice size on the perimeter.  Was probing the defense off the dribble finding creases to get in the paint for slick finishes.  Pushes well in the open floor grabbing defensive rebounds going coast to coast for buckets.  Capable shooter who hit a pair of them along with pulling up from 15 feet.  Solid passing and was active with his hands on the defensive end getting deflections.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tucker is primed to take over the vacated top PG slot in the 2028 class and played up to that over the weekend.  The slick handling guard is effective playing both on and off the ball.  Quality perimeter shooter from three, mid-range shots especially on the baseline, and using his soft touch finishing moves in the paint.  Sweet euro step in his bag along with scoop shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Young put on a show against Fenwick on Sunday.  The wiry point guard was so fast with the ball drawing up residency in the paint with how much time he spent there.  Coast to coast takes, sweeping layups, and floaters for days.  Crossed his man setting up his jumper.  Snake dribbles for 15 foot shots.  Knocked in a corner three.  Slick passer especially in the pick/roll.  Pesky defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner is a shooting guard with size, a strong frame, and a lethal three point shot!  His knock down shooting is what college coaches are most interested in.  He showcased that in the game I saw against Wheaton Academy.  Drained a triple off a dribble hand off to send the game to OT.  Free and easy release in both the mid-range and from three.  Nice use of shot fakes and flashed as a passer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moore is a point guard with speed to burn!  He pushes the pace going coast to coast in a blur.  At his best in an up and down setting where he can use his speed.  Gets to the rim with his quickness and handles while having great body control converting at the rack.  Cat quick defensively swiping steals taking them the other way for points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
