Top 2023 Available Posts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are halfway through the senior seasons for 2023 prospects across the state.&nbsp; PHI has unveiled our mid-season rankings update for the 2023 class.&nbsp; We break down the class including right here in <strong>2023 Top Available Posts</strong>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1113521' first='Zack' last='Hawkinson'] (Sacred Heart Griffin)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #31</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hawkinson emerged as the top uncommitted post by posting MONSTER numbers during the first half.&nbsp; We hadn't seen him since their 3A state title run but between his play in the State Farm Final, undefeated matchup against Decatur MacArthur, and Highland Shootout MVP performance he has helped his recruitment and put himself in player of year conversation.&nbsp; Undersized four at about 6'5” that is relentless mauling on the offensive end for put backs, positioning, and finishing through contact.&nbsp; Very good rebounder and powerful player that gets the most out of his ability.&nbsp; Low-majors and high D2s get on him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1215298' first='Mark' last='Nikolich-Wilson'] (Rolling Meadows)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #32</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wide bodied five man has been a PHI favorite for well over a year and now others are starting to see what we loved.&nbsp; He is a point-center with his best asset being his passing.&nbsp; One of the better passing posts in years that you can run your offense through.&nbsp; He can handle it for his size and when in the post finishes with soft touch.&nbsp; Very good area rebounder.&nbsp; D2s should be all over him!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1215286' first='Prince' last='Adams'] (Evanston)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #34</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Have enjoyed seeing the jump Adams has made as a senior.&nbsp; We have always been intrigued by his physical tools, but he has now put it all together.&nbsp; The powerful post is playing with strength around the hoop finishing with athleticism above the rim.&nbsp; Rebounding at a high level.&nbsp; Solid post defender.&nbsp; Can definitely help out a D2 program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1537980' first='Aries' last='Hull'] (Bolingbrook)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #44</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hull moved back to Illinois for his senior year and he has been very impactful for the Raiders.&nbsp; Long and lanky frame rebounding at a super high rate game in and game out.&nbsp; Combination of mobility, athleticism, and improved motor has led to his production on the glass.&nbsp; Solid defender and offensively he brings rim running and finishing out of the dunker position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1056104' first='Chikasi' last='Ofoma'] (Curie)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #49</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ofoma is a strong bodied undersized five that plays with a super high motor.&nbsp; He outworks more physically gifted athletes or taller opponents by using his positioning and motor to pound the offensive glass.&nbsp; Ofomoa is a super productive high school player that consistently posts double doubles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='939035' first='Donaven' last='Younger'] (Bolingbrook)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #50</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Younger is a prospect that was very highly regarded in his younger years as a potential high-major prospect.&nbsp; The production has never quite lived up to the upside, but there is still a lot to like here as a developmental post at the D2 or JUCO level.&nbsp; Plus athlete with great size and athleticism.&nbsp; Flashes his potential showing it is still in there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1743970' first='Makhi' last='Wright'] (Decatur MacArthur)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #52</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wright is having a breakout season after not being on anyone's radar heading into the season.&nbsp; High level shot blocker that swats them with the best of them in the class.&nbsp; Ferocious rebounder that snatches them in traffic.&nbsp; Offensively has some touch but is most effective on put backs and out of the dunker spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1148119' first='Jeremy' last='Harrington'] (Curie)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #54</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harrington is a thick bodied post from Curie that does a nice job on the glass and can stretch the floor with his shooting.&nbsp; Like his combination of face up potential and grit around the hoop for a D2 or JUCO program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1371064' first='Tsvet' last='Sotirov'] (Rolling Meadows)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #59</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sotirov impressed over the summer and despite missing some time with an injury this year has been outstanding as a senior.&nbsp; Face up post that can really shoot it at a high level from three with legit size to play the four or five at the college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
