Darshan Thomas (Fenwick)
Thomas had a monster showing as one of the breakout players of the event. This 6’4” small forward was explosive slashing using his long strides to get to the rim where he finished with dunks. High-motor kid that has a nose for the ball. Showed he was capable as a shooter as well hitting several threes.
Stefan Cicic Stefan Cicic 7'0" | C Riverside Brookfield | 2024 State IL (Riverside Brookfield)
Cicic is one of the most physically imposing big men in the state regardless of class. Big bodied five absolutely mauled his weaker opponents on the offensive glass. Man among boys rebounding the basketball. Plays physical posting up and has a nice right handed hook shot. Solid post defender that blocks shots on occasion.
DJ Strong DJ Strong 5'9" | PG Bolingbrook | 2024 State IL (Bolingbrook)
Strong was outstanding for his squad in the game we saw. The 5’10” lefty guard is a crisp ball handler that has a soft touch finishing game in the paint. Really liked how well he passed it getting his teammates involved whipping it around the floor.
Bryce Welch Bryce Welch 6'2" | PG Naperville North | 2024 State IL (Naperville North)
This Naperville North 6’1” point guard is a slick ball handler that can pop threes pulling up behind ball screens. Has smooth acceleration toward the rim and active hands on the defensive end.
AJ Levine (York)
Levine was excellent early on the day. The athleticism really showed well for the York guard. He got to the rim for dunks and slashed with force in transition. Creative ball handler that showed a different level of game off the bounce than we had previously seen out of him.
Kaleb Jackson Kaleb Jackson 6'2" | PG Carmel Catholic | 2024 State IL (Carmel)
Jackson is a player that we liked when we saw him during the summer and he continues to develop. Scoring lead guard with long arms that handles it well in the open floor, makes quick dishes, and has a burst with the ball. Range on his shot.
Jimmy Tarjan (Loyola)
This 6’4” 2024 small forward played with a lot of swagger and knocked in shots at a super high rate from the perimeter. Excellent size and form on his three point shot!
Germaine Benson Germaine Benson 6'0" | PG Hyde Park | 2024 State IL (Hyde Park)
The Hyde Park 6’0” scoring guard was an absolute bucket at the Top 250 Camp! Benson has such great burst with the rock in his hands exploding past defenders in both the half court and transition. Also proved to be an adequate three point shooter at the camp.
