<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125674' first='Quinton' last='Kitt'] (East Peoria)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kitt is the top wing in the class because of his size, versatility, and skill set. He has plus positional size with the ability to play two through four in different lineups on both ends of the floor. Advanced skill set for Kitt who brings excellent shot making, passing, and instincts to the table. What I love about his game is when he is option 1 he knows how to play for his high school team. When with [program_tooltip program_id='2078449' first='Meanstreets' last=''] he is more of a complimentary guy and he understands what he needs to do in that role. Stuffs the stat sheet and defends at a super high level on the perimeter. High-major prospect that can fit into any system.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125659' first='Kristopher' last='Mporokoso'] (Waubonsie Valley)</strong></p>

<p>Mporokoso is a lefty wing that has been a name on the radar since he entered high school. Now it will be his show at Waubonsie Valley. He is a plus shooter from three with a high arching shot. Best spotting up. What impressed us over the summer and at The EXPO Illinois was his ability to play on the ball, win off the bounce showing more explosion than we thought he had, along with improved passing feel.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125642' first='Jarrel' last='Brown'] (Normal Community)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brown is similar to Mporokoso in a lot of respects. Both are known as shooters that have improved other areas of their games in recent months. Brown is more of a wiry build with plus athleticism which plays well in the open floor. He can really shoot it off the catch from three. Also has a chance to be an above average defender moving forward. His playmaking feel caught our attention at The EXPO Illinois with his pinpoint dishing in both the half court and transition game. As a secondary playmaker that already has everything else he brings to the table that really elevates his stock!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323622' first='Damari' last='Stephens'] (Kenwood)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stephens made a nice jump up the board with a strong summer. Big and physically imposing wing that can get buckets in bunches. He is going to have to do that this year for Kenwood to have the success they want. Can play bully ball going downhill for scores in the paint with brute force, but doesn't get the credit he deserves for the skill with his improved handles. Has always been a pretty good shooter and rebounds at a high rate. Brings the motor each and every time out!</p>
