<p>The Supreme Courts in Aurora, IL played host to Prep Hoops The Expo on Saturday Afternoon. Players from the classes of 2027 and 2028 gathered to compete and showcase their skills against one another. Each team played 4 games and had their opportunity to play against other top talent across the state. We will do further evaluations throughout the week from the 2026 Expo but today will be an introduction of first impressions for the day.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Agyeman made his presence felt today with his ability to consistently help speed the game up and create opportunities in transition. His length, activity, and motor causes havoc at times defensively as he assisted in forcing turnovers and turning them into quick offensive opportunities. Agyeman continued to push the ball off defensive rebounds or steals and showed ability to go coast to coast while finishing through contact. His length and two way motor impacted possessions on both sides of the basketball.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Klemencic brings a noticeable level of energy and effort to the floor. It's always great to see guys communicating and he does so consistently on both sides of the basketball. At the forward spot today he competed well against bigger sized opponents defensively. His willingness to battle on the glass and contributions in the 1/2 court setting were impactful. Klemencic made the extra pass when there were open guys, found open teammates in transition, and set ball screens to create space for guards to work. His ability to do a lot of little things throughout the game were a valuable complimentary piece. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Venckus displayed a smooth rythmic feel with the rock today as is usually the case. The underrated guard from Lockport continued to show his ability to attack to the cup hard off the bounce and get downhill in a hurry. It was impressive to see his court vision on display as well as he had a couple of nice paint touches off the bounce and then found guys either underneath or spraying it out to an open shooter. Venckus' brings a positive energy level to the floor every time I've seen him compete and he impacts the team in multiple ways. Although missing his brother today in action, both should see their stock continue to rise through their senior year. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Cooper Sutton is a left handed primary ball handler who operates with a smooth crisp handle and quick first step. I caught him in June during the Illinois Live Period and he showcased some of his same ability then as he did today. He effectively can get defenders leaning or off balance to get to his spots consistently. His undersized stature allows him to find quick angles to jet to. Even if his shot wasn't falling at times today, he still was able to get a foot in the lane to then make proper reads within the offensive flow. Cooper's mid range game deems to be pure as he got into his jumper off the bounce from around 15 feet as well. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Arogundade displayed a sound all around feel with an athletic profile and consistent activity level on both ends of the floor. He made a couple plays defensively that were impressive by chasing down a couple blocks from behind while also securing rebounds with his length. He could go into the 2 man combo guard role or play the wing 3 at this stage in his career. Arugundade showed solid instincts away from the ball as well utilizing give and go action or making smart back door reads. His combination of size, feel, and ability to play on or off the ball gives him some intriguing versatility who can handle multiple roles. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bell impacts the game in a multiple of settings as a two way hard nosed player. His jumping ability, speed, and creativity was on full display the day's event. He crashes the glass consistently from the guard spot and can really elevate to help his team in the rebounding department. Offensively there were numerous times he helped create second chance opportunities as well for put back scores. With the ball in his hands, Bell attacks aggressively off the bounce which was highlighted by playing above the rim in various ways. He had one impressive reverse layup that showcased extended airtime and then converted it with a tough angled kiss off the glass. His combination of mobility, explosiveness, and activity level should allow him to see stock rise throughout his senior campaign. </p>
