<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>***Use Code “ScottyB30” for 30% off your subscription***</em><br><br>Prep Hoops Illinois has released our first edition of the 2029 Rankings.  It is still EXTREMELY early in the process.  Remember this is a prospect ranking.  Not necessarily what they are right now, but what we project long term.  These are the top 2029 Wings that have established themselves early in the process.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heard is the top wing in the class and #2 overall prospect.  He has been a known name since coming into high school.  After a slow start to the season he found himself at the Pekin Holiday Tournament and has never looked back.  High-motor small forward that impacts rebounding, defending, and scoring.  His quickness in the paint along with his length makes him very impactful on the glass and guarding all over the floor.  Slashing scorer that excels in transition.  The swing skill will be the consistency with the jumper.</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">Jackson put his name on the map at the end of the high school season after missing most of his freshman year due to injury.  At the state finals he was a huge boost for the Flyers winning state.  That momentum continued through the spring and summer with both Brad Beal Elite and East St. Louis.  Super athletic two guard that can play some on the ball as well.  High level perimeter defender that brings a joy to the game.  Offensively he is a shot creator both off the bounce and being able to shoot it off the catch.  Connective passer that makes good decisions off live dribbles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Billingsley like Jackson might end up being football players in college.  That will be worked out later, but Billingsley was a monster with the Fire when we saw him in the spring and July.  Jumbo wing that brings a great frame and ELITE athleticism to the table.  Covers so much ground on the defensive end while blocking shots inside and out along with picking off passes taking them the other way in transition where he is a beast.  Physical rebounder, catches lobs, and flashed as a mid-range shooter.</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">Marshall is primed for a monster sophomore season after showing flashes as a freshman.  Skilled and athletic wing that takes great angles off the dribble getting to the rack.  Can post up smaller or weaker defenders in the paint for scores on spins or short jumpers.  Bouncy finisher in transition with a ton of physical and athletic upside!</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">Bohlen took a big step this spring and summer with both Breakaway and his high school team.  Lengthy wing that continues to grow each time we see him.  He has always been an elite level perimeter shooter who pours them at a high rate off movement and spotting up.  Quick and consistent release on the shot.  He is also a very good athlete that plays with quickness and bounce scoring on slashes.  Quality ball handler that is a solid connective passer and capable wing defender that should continue to get better in that area.</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">Lemons is a prospect that has been on our radar since we saw him a year ago at the PHI Freshman Showcase.  The quick twitched athleticism is the first that always stands out with the St. Laurence.  He has burst with the rock in his hands getting to the rack.  When he is assertive pressing the issue and putting pressure on the rim he is one of the best in the class as he is a tough cover with his size and speed combination.  Solid connective passer and defends multiple spots on the perimeter.</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">The two guard from Lyons is super skilled at a young age.  With the Wolves he continued to progress as a plus three point shooter that was lights out for stretches when we saw him at a couple different events.  Can handle the rock as well for acrobatic layups and moves well off the ball.</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">Lefty two guard that has a sweet shot off the catch from three as in June we saw him pour them in at a high rate draining one after another.  Can mix in pull up twos along with pulling from deep as well.  Plays off his defense getting loose in transition where he showcases his athleticism.</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">McDermott had a very strong spring where we saw him elevate his game to new heights.  Shooters with size always play at that is what this wiry wing brings to the table.  Super quick release being able to knock down shots in bunches pulling up or off movement.  Quality athlete that can deck it and is a connective passer.</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">Intrigued with the Niles Notre Dame wing who gets loose in the open floor with his downhill attacking mentality.  Skilled wing that works well out of the mid-post getting to the rim.  Rebounds well for his position.  One to track here as he should be the go to guy for Notre Dame this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
