<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323283' first='Chris' last='Bolte'] (St. Ignatius)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bolte is a face up four man that had an absolutely massive weekend. He consistently posted numbers and shot it at a very high rate from beyond the arc. In the games we were watching and when he was playing on courts next to us it seemed like he was swishing them almost every possession. Also worked well out of the mid-range and was consistent on the boards. Mid-majors are going to start to get involved.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552486' first='Danny' last='Houlihan'] (New Trier)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the premier catch and shoot prospects in the 2026 class. He was lights out from deep as he always is nailing seven triples in one of the games we saw. Plus plus shooter with a quick release. Also showed some passing off live dribbles we hadn't previously seen. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552438' first='Mason' last='Lockett IV'] (Oswego East)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lockett is a prospect we haven't seen live since midway through the high school season, but he definitely reminded us amost immediately of why he is such a coveted prospect. The silky smooth two guard dropped 30 points against a tough New Trier defense. Got to his spots for feathery threes, showed creativity off the bounce for buckets, and finished with either hand at the rack. Liked how well he finished through contact taking the bump and making the shot.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552460' first='Bryce' last='Wegrzyn'] (Libertyville)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The current #4 overall prospect and top post was stellar leading his team to a win over Hillcrest. Floor spacing five man that had a big run in the second half of their contest. Started to pour in the triples, but it was more than just that. He ran the floor well for scores and did an nice job protecting the rim scoring 27 points.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1845357' first='Noah' last='Mister'] (Mt. Carmel)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mister was dominant in three games over the weekend. We saw him drop 28 points to open the morning on Saturday against O'Fallon. His creativity and shake with the ball in his hands were what stood out the most. He won on straight line takes blowing past opponents and shot it well from three. Also saw the growth in his passing game hitting guys for scores inside and open threes.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2749990' first='Zane' last='Schneider'] (Lemont)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It has been an excellent last few months for Schneider who has grown, gotten stronger, and taken his game to another level. He went for 30+ in their narrow loss to Evanston. Early on he splashed some jumpers and then it was bruising drives downhill over and over again where he scored, got fouled, or did both. Proving to be a great #2 next to Sularski.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1845360' first='Rashaun' last='Porter'] (DePaul Prep)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The athletic pop improvement we saw in the spring out of Porter was noticeable in his play over the weekend. Threw down some nasty dunks. Showed quickness on post moves including left handed hook shots. Pounded the offensive glass, shot fakes for drives, and stretched for a three netting 20 points in the game we saw.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1435692' first='Rykan' last='Woo'] (DePaul Prep)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Woo is a prospect that created a lot of buzz with his play over the weekend among college coaches. High IQ lead guard that shoots it well off movement and spotting up. As a point guard he threw pin point passes setting up all his weapons on DePaul Prep.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1845350' first='Stephen' last='Brown'] (Marist)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brown had his best performance against Romeoville on Saturday showing off a high motor and his athleticism. Quickness on the offensive glass for second chances along with controlling the defensive bords. His fluidity running the floor, passing on the move, and mid-range shot were strengths of his.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552436' first='Karson' last='Thomas'] (Marist)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thomas is a strong and physical slashing wing. Tough cover on straight line takes. Cut off the ball to the basket for scores, solid three point shooter, and is a big time perimeter defender that had a consistent showing in two games we saw.</p>
