Upperclassmen Have Strong Showing at All-In Open Runs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sunday morning took me up to the North Suburban area, stepping into the historic hardwood bounds of the old Chicago Bulls practice facility for the All In Open Run. The floor was loaded with high-upside underclassmen and emerging names from across Illinois and southern Wisconsin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3682866' first='Goran' last='Davidovic'] | 6'4 G | Lake Forest Academy | 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davidovic put together the most complete day on the floor, ultimately leading his squad to the most victories during open run action. At 6-foot-4, he possesses a strong, solid build for a lead guard and plays with exceptional poise. He operates at a methodical pace when downhill, using deceptive craft and subtle change-of-pace moves to create separation as a scorer and creator. His top highlight came on a slick sequence out of the pick-and-roll, showcasing high-level court vision and processing speed. A true threat from beyond the arc who handles smoothly under pressure, Davidovic projects as a high-IQ playmaker with an advanced, well-rounded skillset.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2864400' first='Jake' last='Tripp'] | 6'8 F/C | Palatine | 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tripp is an intriguing, mobile 6-foot-8 interior presence with good physical mass who impacts the game inside-out. On the block, he exhibits patient footwork with his back to the basket and soft touch around the rim. However, it was his perimeter versatility that really popped—he stretched the defense by knocking down a trio of triples with confidence. Defensively and on the glass, Tripp clean up his area, high-pointing rebounds in bunches. If he continues to bring this level of inside-out consistency, college coaches will be keeping close tabs on him this coming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>John Kohr | 5'9 G | Lakes | 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kohr was pure flame from the field all morning. The 5-foot-9 freshman guard is an absolute flamethrower who gets into his shooting motion effortlessly and releases with absolute precision. Whether pulling up off the bounce, spotting up in transition, or working the mid-range pockets, Kohr hit nothing but net on a high volume of shot attempts. His quick-trigger release and effortless stroke force defenses to contest early, making him a lethal perimeter threat every time he crosses half-court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2369893' first='Tyler' last='Chlan'] | G | Fremd | 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chlan impressed with a mature, high-craft scoring package. The active freshman guard handles with a subtle shiftiness that allows him to break down defenders, and he excels at utilizing off-ball movement to find open seams in the defense. He showed off a soft touch from the mid-range and in the paint, frequently using clever angles off the glass and a fluid turnaround jumper to drain tough shots over contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2403305' first='Michael' last='Schaechter'] | G | Vernon Hills | 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schaechter proved to be a high-IQ backcourt anchor with standout intangibles. He is a vocal leader on the floor—acting as a true floor general—and distributes the ball into rhythm for his teammates. What elevated his game on Sunday was his shot-making under pressure; Schaechter regularly converted contested jumpers with hand-in-face defense. Couple that with his ability to finish with either hand around the rim, and he projects as a poised, tough combo guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kyle Yehle | 6'4 W | Westosha Central (WI) | 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crossing over the state line, Yehle brought great size, toughness, and defensive versatility to the wing. At 6-foot-4 with a physical build, he repeatedly attacked the paint to score through contact in the lane. Defensively, he made a massive imprint by rotating from the help side to turn away rim attackers with multiple emphatic blocks. He hit open perimeter shots when rhythm allowed, rounding out a performance that showed off his multi-positional utility and strong overall feel for the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2369873' first='Jared' last='Van Donselaar'] | 6'7 F | Grayslake North | 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Van Donselaar displays all the early markings of a high-upside stretch forward. Standing 6-foot-7 with a slender frame and long wingspan, the southpaw prospect scored in a multitude of ways on Sunday. He leveraged his length to finish over contests, hit the floor hard in transition, and showed comfortable ball-handling skills when taking defensive rebounds end-to-end. Add in multiple second-chance putbacks, crisp backdoor cuts, and hitches from deep, and Van Donselaar's overall ceiling is undeniably high.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2366141' first='Owen' last='Towne'] | 6'4 W/F | Oak Park-River Forest | 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Towne operated as an absolute Swiss Army knife for his group. At 6-foot-4 with expansive length, he was a nightmare defensively on the perimeter—switching seamlessly onto smaller guards without conceding an inch of ground or leverage. On the offensive end, he did his damage through high-IQ off-ball motion, cutting hard through the lane to convert high-efficiency looks inside. Even without as many open-court opportunities as in previous viewings, Towne's functional size, mobility, and high motor stood out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
