Ty Johnson Ty Johnson 6'3" | PG Depaul Prep | 2021 State #198 Nation IL (DePaul Prep – 2021)
The Loyola commit and top 10 senior came out on fire to begin this game. His silky smooth mid-range pull up game opened things up. Then he stretched it to three with a corner triple. Picked the pocket of his opponent and took it the other way for a bucket. So smooth around ball screens being able to play effectively both on and off the ball.
Donovan Jones Donovan Jones 6'0" | PG Solorio | 2022 IL (Solorio – 2022)
Jones is a strong and stocky combo guard that drilled a pair of threes off the catch. Clean release with good height off the floor. His athleticism and burst was shown taking defenders off the bounce where he was either fouled or converted with euro steps in the lane. Crisp passer that is one of the better junior guards in Chicago.
Nick Martinelli Nick Martinelli 6'6" | SF Glenbrook South | 2022 State #235 Nation IL (Glenbrook South – 2022)
Martinelli continues to see his stock rise. No one is a bigger fan than PHI’s Steve Parham, but I am coming close after his production every time I see him. The long and skilled forward runs the floor with so much ease beating opponents to the other end for layups. Crafty finisher in the paint on and-1s. Quick to the offensive glass for second chance points. Going to make a big move in our next rankings update.
Christian Meeks Christian Meeks 6'6" | SF Homewood Flossmoor | 2022 State IL (Homewood Flossmoor – 2022)
Meeks is a high motor power forward that brings tenacity on the offensive glass. His energy getting second chance points and defense are what stand out the most. Can guard all over the floor and contest shots on the perimeter.
Damarcies Moore Damarcies Moore 6'5" | SF Cics Longwood | 2021 State IL (Longwood – 2021)
Moore performed very well in this game. The broad shouldered small forward has great strength in his upper body. It was his shooting and fluidity on the perimeter that jumped off the floor to us in this match up. He knocked down multiple threes off movement. Can create his own shot with his smooth handles getting to the cup where he uses power or pulling up from mid-range. Most impressive play was a strong take with his off hand that he finished for an and-1.
