<!-- 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 point guard/combos 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">Johnson heads the class as the top prospect in the 2029 class in our first rankings.  Why was he the pick?  First he has legit positional size already as a 6'3” guard who plays on the ball with solid strength and plus athleticism.  Second he impacts the game across the board no one else in this class does.  Need him to score?  He can get downhill as well as anyone.  The jumper is a weapon in the mid-range and flashes from three.  Passer?  Johnson is very adept at setting up his teammates in both the half court and pushing in the open floor.  Perimeter defender?  Plus in this area as he can lock down almost anyone with his lateral quickness and strength.  He also rebounds at a high level for a guard.  The stat sheet stuffing manner he plays is very intriguing long term.</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">Jamison has checked a ton of boxes from the first time he stepped on the floor with Whitney Young a year ago in June.  He has elite size at the combo guard spot at 6'4” with good length.  Plus shooter from three that can really let it fly from beyond the arc with a feathery touch.  Makes sound reads as a passer off live dribbles and can get in the creases of the defense for scores in the paint.  Quality defender who can check either backcourt spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gulley is a pit-bull at the point for Bloom and the Fire.  He is a bowling ball with the rock in his hands going downhill as such a tough cover.  We love how he attacks the cup with burst both in the half court and using his blinding speed in transition.  Such an acrobatic finisher at the cup being able to maneuver his body along with utilize his strength to finish inside.  Quality shooter both pulling up in the mid-range as well as knocking in spot up shots.  Has improved as a distributor over the last year and is a pesky on ball defender.</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">Brown brings a nice combination of shot making, athleticism, and two way impact to the table.  The Bradley Bourbonnais guard stepped in right away as a freshman leaving an impression on a young squad.  Active on ball defender who can also jump passing lanes off the ball.  Slick in transition for scores at the cup.  Has shooting potential as a lead guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

standout will be back posting buckets for the Wildcats next season!  Physically built scoring on ball guard that just has a knack for posting 15-20 points a night on a pretty consistent basis.  Tough as nails kid that brings a great competitiveness to the game.  Biggest question here is will he grow?</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">McClellan is a heady floor general that of the Bloom young trio of guards is the most adept passer.  Wiry frame with smooth athleticism he can handle the rock while getting others involved off live dribbles.  McClellan picks his spots to score being effective as a spot up 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">To fully understand the type of potential Johnson has you have to see him with the Wolves 15U.  On that team he showcases his massive upside as a combo guard with the ability to create for himself and others off the dribble.  Acrobatic layups with great body control at the cup.  Wins off the bounce, but can also shoot it from three as well as being a solid distributor.</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">Plug and play combo guard for Geneva that can really get buckets in a hurry!  Has juice with the rock getting in the lane where he is very adept and making acrobatic finishes.  Smooth looking jumper as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

at the freshman camp.  Now at Phillips Jones is a lighting quick lead guard that has speed to burn finishing with a creative layup package.  Solid shooter and pesky on ball defender.</p> <!--
