<p>There was an abundance of talent on display Sunday at Prep Hoops Live in Romeoville. Here are seven prospects that caught my eye:</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2409758' first='Jeremiah' last='Raggs'] -- F -- Illinois Prestige Elite</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In one of the first games of the day, Raggs immediately grabbed my attention. At 6-foot-3, the forward/wing is able to find ways to dominate in the paint. His strength is an asset, and his footwork is pretty to watch. Perhaps Raggs' greatest advantage lies in his unstoppable motor. He is always fighting down low, scrapping for rebounds and playing with extra effort. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1549187' first='Wyatt' last='Gilleland'] -- PF -- [program_tooltip program_id='2075918' first='Tennessee' last='Edge']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gilleland has potential to develop into a really good player at the college level. While I think he is still putting a couple of things together, the early returns have been great. As a roll man, the power forward gets downhill with speed and is capable of finishing in traffic. I also love what Gilleland brings as a rebounder. He snatches everything that falls in his area. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1664285' first='Carter' last='Webb'] -- CG -- [program_tooltip program_id='2075918' first='Tennessee' last='Edge']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Webb was a joy to watch on Sunday. With a 6-foot-3 frame and some of the most impressive speed you will see at the high school level, the combo guard can do it all. He defends the perimeter very well, is a gifted slasher, and always seems to have a good handle on his team's offensive game plan. Webb's performance on Sunday was sensational. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2321417' first='Lazar' last='Lazarevic'] -- PF -- [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sometimes it is hard to measure the potential of taller prospects. But this is not the case with Lazarevic. The [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package'] power forward very clearly has a high ceiling. He owns a fluid three-point jump shot and is a stalwart defensively. In the coming months, I look for Lazarevic to add new elements to his game and continue to improve. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1874734' first='Irfan' last='Khan'] -- F -- Illinois Prestige Elite</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I really like Khan's game and thought that significantly boosted his stock this weekend. Standing at 6-foot-4, Khan's size allows him to do many different things at a high level. First, he is a switchable defender who can guard 1-4 with no problem. He is also a sniper from long range who can catch fire in a hurry. Around the hoop, Khan can impact games, too. He rebounds well and isn't afraid of physical play. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598694' first='Donovan' last='Johnson'] -- PG -- SBT</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson made a handful of really clutch plays for SBT in a big win on Sunday. The point guard made a transition three, forced a turnover, and made several critical passes in the final minutes. I love the fearlessness of Johnson. Regardless of the situation, Johnson believes he can get the job done. On Sunday, the PG proved he has enough skill to step up in the biggest moments. </p>
