Profile:
Roby is the best player in the state of Illinois that most people don’t know about. From a prospect standpoint he has tremendous potential at 6’9” with long arms and elite athleticism. He has a versatile offensive game where he can play above the rim and really pass the ball. Roby is among the top 5 prospects in the senior class and has given his commitment to attend Nebraska.
Odds to Win:
12/1
Why he Can Win:
Roby will be the top player in the Quad City area this season. He should garner most of the votes from that region and many from central Illinois. Roby is a stat sheet stuffer that will be able to put up production in a variety of categories while leading his Dixon team to lots of wins.
Obstacles to Win:
As stated in the profile part he is an unknown outside of the Quad City area to those voters that don’t follow recruiting or the grassroots scene. This will hurt him as he won’t pick up those second and third place votes needed to win in other areas of the state.
