Normal (IL) Community West

An athletic point guard with a quick first step and has shown that he is fast from baseline to baseline.  Corey gets to the basket well and is also a good outside shooter.  He always plays hard on both ends of the floor and it shows.  He is long, handles the ball well, and makes good decisions.  Will need to add strength but has shown that he has Division I talent.  Highly under recruited prospect.

Calumet City (IL) TF North

A strong and powerful forward with great athleticism.  Eskridge can really get off the floor.  He is a good rebounder and is exciting to watch.  Due to his combination of strength and athleticism, he is versatile enough to guard wings and post players.  His outside shot is good but inconsistent.  He has a chance to be a very good player.  A possible post-graduate candidate.

South Elgin (IL) H.S.

A strong guard with a nice shooting form.  Hodge has a shot similar to former Gonzaga standout, Adam Morrison.  Though he wasn’t dropping shots consistently at the showcase, it was obvious he’s a pure shooter.  Despite his shooting ability, Adam also made efforts to attack the basket.  Though he penetrated from time to time, he relied on his jumpshot a little too much which limited the looks he got from the defense.  An impressive guard who should have a standout season.

2009

Champaign (IL) Centennial

Proved himself as the top point guard and most complete overall guard in the 2009 class.  James shoots the ball with unlimited range and accuracy.  He’s a smart and quick guard that plays within himself and doesn’t force much.  He is also a slick passer and a good athlete.  Additionally, Kinney isn’t afraid to get after it on defense.  He reads the passer’s eyes well and is very active.

Bloomington (IL) Central Catholic

A smooth point guard with a good feel for the game.  Garriott has a way of making difficult passes look effortless.  He has good court vision and a rangy three-point shot.  Aaron is fundamentally sound and handles the ball extremely well but tends to get too crafty and hold on to the ball too much.  At times, he looks to make the exciting play instead of the easy one, which is a habit he must drop.  He has good potential and with work, he could be a solid Division I player.

Pawnee (IL) H.S.

A smooth guard with a solid all around game.  Kohavi handles and passes the ball well enough to play the point guard position but has the size and shoots it well enough to play the off guard slot.  He is fundamentally sound with a quick first step and is good at penetrating seams in the defense.  David has a good feel for the game, both offensively and defensively, but will need to learn to play aggressive at all times and add strength.  An overall solid player.

2008

Bloomington (IL) H.S.

An athletic wing that shoots the ball well.  Tylon is small but is versatile enough to guard post players due to his knowledge of positioning and his strength.  He needs to improve his lateral quickness and overall speed but is still transitioning from being an undersized power forward to a shooting guard.

Chicago (IL) Foreman

A tall guard with a smooth, all-purpose game.  McGaha is a solid ball handler that scores best when attacking the basket.  He’s fast and aggressive yet he still manages to play under control.  Due to his confident style of play, he draws comparisons to New York style point guards.  On the defensive end, Allen’s play is strong.  He is also a good rebounder, considering his position.  McGaha tends to settle for the jumpshot too often.  However, he has a solid midrange floater.  He also initiates contact well and draws a lot of fouls, allowing him to get to the free throw line.  Strength is a component that McGaha needs to improve on.  One of the top juniors throughout the state of Illinois.

South Holland (IL) Seton Academy

A long wing with an unorthodox yet accurate outside shot.  McRoyal’s length gives him an advantage over other two-guards.  He gets to the basket well and is good defensively.  He is also a solid player on the boards.  Added strength must be gained by the versatile 6’4” wing.

Bloomington (IL) Central Catholic

Strong wing that gets to the basket well and can shoot the ball when in rhythm.  Daronte is very, very long.  He rebounds well and can score from about anywhere on the floor.  He needs to improve his ball handling but has a lot of time to do so due to the fact that he is just a freshman.  Should be a big time player.
