Anthony Sayles Anthony Sayles 6'2" | PG Niles Notre Dame | 2021 State #167 Nation IL (Niles Notre Dame)
Current Ranking: #8
Sayles has been the top ranked point guard in the class from the moment he came into high school. He still holds that distinction and sets at the top of the uncommitted lead guards. A combo guard that is more than effective playing both on and off the ball. Fits today’s game to perfection with his ability to create his own offense off the bounce, get others involved with his passing, and is a much much better shooter than he is given credit. Brings toughness as well on both ends.
Isaiah Stafford Isaiah Stafford 6'1" | PG Crispus Attucks | 2021 IN (Bolingbrook)
Current Ranking: #21
Stafford was one of the more consistent producers we saw on the travel team circuit this summer. Big time athlete that is a high level sniper on the perimeter. One of the sweetest shooting strokes in the class that can go off for stretches looking like Baby Steph out there. Hits off the catch and pulling up off a live dribble. Really liked his growth as a driver using his athleticism and handles getting to the hoop. Sound passer that has a pretty good feel.
Jaehshon Thomas Jaehshon Thomas 6'1" | PG Whitney Young | 2021 State IL (Whitney Young)
Current Ranking: #22
Thomas didn’t get to show everything he could do last season with Steward and Beard sharing a backcourt with him. In both settings we saw him this summer he shined whether it was with Beyond Ball College Prospects or at the Meanstreets Mini Camp. Strong and compact guard that has a lethal mid-range game. He stops and pops with ease elevating on a dime. Primed for a breakout senior season.
Kimahri Wilson Kimahri Wilson 6'2" | PG North Chicago | 2021 State IL (Carmel)
Current Ranking: #28
Wilson is a dynamic ball handler that is shifty with the rock in his hands. Has the ball on a string. He is a quick and shifty lead guard that has a ton of speed. Slick passer that had a few spectacular ones this summer for College Prospects. His defense regularly was on display turning steals into offense taking them the other way for buckets. Gets to the rim with consistency.
Brandon Hall Brandon Hall 6'6" | PG Thornton | 2021 State IL (Thornton)
Current Ranking: #32
Hall is a 6’5” guard that has excellent size and strength. Plays effectively both on and off the ball. He is so powerful getting downhill once he gets his shoulders turned. Overpowers weaker defenders. Plus rebounder for his position. Tough kid!
Darrion Jones Darrion Jones 6'0" | PG Bogan | 2021 State IL (Bogan)
Current Ranking: #33
This Bogan combo guard fits the mold of so many past Bengals stars at the point. He has a strong body and loves to bully his way to the rim for scores. Brings such a physicality and toughness to the position. Will be Bogan’s go to guy next year.
Jalen Houston Jalen Houston 6'0" | PG Hyde Park | 2021 NC (Bogan)
Current Ranking: #39
Speaking of Bogan they got a big time transfer in Houston. He excels in a fast paced environment where he can get out in the open floor pushing the pace. Very fast with the ball in his hands. Should thrive for the Bengals as a senior.
Nathanael Hoskins Nathanael Hoskins 6'2" | PG Danville | 2021 State IL (Danville)
Current Ranking: #41
The Danville guard is a crafty left handed guard that has strength. Bit of a slow mo type game off the bounce, but he always ends up at the hoop where he has good body control as a finisher. Crisp ball handler that gets in and out of traffic.
Noah Reynolds Noah Reynolds 6'1" | PG Peoria Notre Dame | 2021 IN (Peoria Notre Dame)
Current Ranking: #42
The Peoria Notre Dame point guard is a crafty lefty lead guard that just gets stuff done! He is shifty with the rock keeping the defense off balance as he changes gears. Gets to the rim finishing nifty layups and had a lethal pull up game working this summer. Also made regular trips to the foul line this summer. Fought through injuries to come back with a monster final event.
Isaiah Holden Isaiah Holden 5'10" | PG Evanston | 2021 State IL (Evanston)
Current Ranking: #47
Good feel for the game and overall knows when to pick his spots to score and when to get others involved. Quality shooter from both mid-range and three. Definitely a guy you can’t leave open with his range as a shooter.
Christian Henry Christian Henry 6'1" | PG St. Rita | 2021 State IL (St. Rita)
Current Ranking: #50
Henry is a scoring point guard that gets buckets in bunches. Creative ball handler that can get to the rim and hit deep threes. Should be one of the top scorers this upcoming season in the Catholic League.
