Here is a look at some of the players I caught who will have a chance to move into the rankings because of their play at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2991375' first='Eamon' last='Lynch'] (Metamora)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Metamora big man goes 6'7” with a good frame.&nbsp; Showed upside on both ends of the floor in the game we caught.&nbsp; Hook shots and feel scoring around the hoop.&nbsp; Got second chance points on the glass, and was an impactful shot blocking presence inside defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2807690' first='Xayden' last='Gamboa'] (Oswego)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 6'2” shooting guard is one to track down the line for an Oswego team loaded on the perimeter.&nbsp; He is a quality shot maker that knocked them in from both two and three when we saw him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2442874' first='Amarion' last='Kroll'] (Oswego East)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kroll is a 6'1” guard from Oswego East that brought his high-motor in the game we saw.&nbsp;

The 6'5” small forward has a long and lanky frame with a feathery shot from beyond the arc.&nbsp; Zivak regularly dropped in deep balls pulling up and off the catch.&nbsp; Also mixed them in on turnarounds out of the mid-range.&nbsp; Definitely going to be hearing more from this Iggy wing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2920731' first='Ryan' last='Sorich'] (St. Ignatius)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another St. Ignatius product here as the 6'2” shooting guard got downhill off the bounce playing with strength.&nbsp; Tough kid that rebounded well for second chance points and was a capable shooter from 15 feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3506372' first='Carter' last='Jackson'] (Pleasant Plains)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 5'11” guard is a solid playmaker that got others involved with his distribution skills at the point.&nbsp; More than just a set up man he knocked in jumpers in the mid-range along with a clean corner three off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3725447' first='Gavin' last='Stokes'] (La Salle Peru)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stokes is a 6'4” power forward from La Salle Peru that has a nice frame while playing with physicality around the hoop.&nbsp; Finished out of the dunker spot and even showed a face up game knocking in a pull up 3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2785549' first='William' last='Wentzell'] (South Elgin)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smaller guard at 5'7” who excelled with his perimeter shooting.&nbsp;

Got to the foul line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2537837' first='Cash' last='Kleczewski'] (Lane Tech)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lane Tech 6'4” small forward presented nice size along with broad shoulders.&nbsp; Impactful as a transition finisher, versatile defender, and showed some passing feel finding shooters for quality looks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3700248' first='Cayden' last='Kent'] (Evergreen Park)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'2” the Evergreen Park two guard has a good feel for the game and a crafty scoring game.&nbsp; Plays at his pace, uses shot fakes, and is a nifty finisher.&nbsp; Did have a three pointer early in the game we saw as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
