Today we unveil prospects #26 – #30!
#26 Jake Fiegen Jake Fiegen 6'3" | SG New Trier | 2023 State IL (New Trier – 2023)
Last Year’s Rank: #47
What a summer for the Cornell commit! Fiegen proved he was the best shooter in the state over and over again with Full Package. Lights out shot maker that bombed in threes at record pace while also showcasing his toughness and underrated athleticism. Brings so many intangibles to the table!
#27 Sam Lewis Sam Lewis 6'5" | SF Oak Park River Forest | 2023 State IL (Simeon – 2023)
Last Year’s Rank: #24
Lewis made the move over to Simeon for his senior season where he will be a major scoring threat on the wing. When he is rolling his feathery jumper is falling and he is slashing with force. Committed to Toledo, Lewis provides athleticism and scoring pop on the wing!
#28 Mekhi Lowery Mekhi Lowery 6'5" | SF Oswego East | 2023 State IL (Oswego East – 2023)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Really like what Lowery brings to the table as he had a breakout junior campaign emerging as a D1 prospect before committing to Towson. Lowery is a long and rangy three man that can defend all across the board with his length and quickness. Excels in the open floor and has improved his handles in the half court. Such a versatile player!
#29 Drew Scharnowski Drew Scharnowski 6'7" | PF Burlington Central | 2023 State IL (Burlington Central – 2023)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Scharnowski had buzz after his sophomore season and became one of the hottest names in the state with his play in the spring and summer. Face up fours that can shoot it with his athleticism are very coveted at the next level. Has rim protection potential to go with his offensive skill package. Belmont commit!
#30 Carlos Harris Carlos Harris 6'1" | SG Curie | 2024 State #283 Nation IL (Curie – 2024)
Last Year’s Rank: NR
Harris is a big bodied combo guard built like a running back. Loves to attack downhill with force finishing well in the lane. Opponents bounce off of him! His toughness on both ends really shine with his intense defense, rebounding, and intensity. Next step as a junior will be showing he can consistently knock down shots.
