Illinois 2021 Sleeper Post Prospects
<p>We close out our look at the updated 2021 class rankings with the sleeper post prospects in the junior class. These are players to watch during the season that are flying under the radar!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Jake Wolf (Lake Forest Academy)</strong></p>
<p>Travel Team: All-In Athletics</p>
<p>Wolf brings size and mobility in the post. Also has toughness on the interior which helps him rebounding. Closed out July with a solid showing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Ashawn Burbridge (Joliet West)</strong></p>
<p>Travel Team: Illinois T-Wolves</p>
<p>Burbridge is a high energy forward that plays with an excellent activity level. Junk yard dog forward!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Ben Eberlin (Calhoun)</strong></p>
<p>Travel Team: Southwest Jets</p>
<p>Broad shouldered post with a frame where he should be able to add strength going forward. At his size he has a silky smooth jumper that can stretch out to three. Solid rebounder.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Joe Melton (NCOE)</strong></p>
<p>Travel Team: Illinois Bears</p>
<p>Melton looked great at the Pure Sweat Back to School Camp. He has grown even more and with his ability to run the floor finished well in transition along with displaying a shooting touch at 15 feet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Anes Davenport (Morgan Park)</strong></p>
<p>Travel Team: Mac Irvin Fire</p>
<p>Junk yard dog post that should be a major presence inside this year for the Mustangs. He can rebound at a high rate and is very active without ever having a play run for him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Jacob Folkerts (Glenbard South)</strong></p>
<p>Travel Team: ET21 Buckeyes</p>
<p>Folkerts is a player that emerged with ET21 Buckeyes this spring and summer. He flies in for offensive rebounds and the broad shouldered post also clears the glass on the other end too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Henry Krzyzewski (Metea Valley)</strong></p>
<p>Travel Team: Mercury Elite</p>
<p>Projectability on the interior to grow into a quality post prospect. He should be a pivotal inside presence for a Metea Valley squad that could be pretty good this year.</p>
