Rank	Pos	Name, School, AAU Team	Hgt	Wgt	School(s)
1	PF	Jordan Prosser Goodfield (IL) Euerka Team Illinois	6'8"	210 lbs	Arizona, Bradley, Duke, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Purdue, Xavier, Wisconsin
One of the hottest sophomores on the market. Recently injured his leg but averaged a near double-double for a state rated team.
2	WG	D.J. Richardson Peoria (IL) Central Illinois Stars	6'3"	165 lbs	Baylor, Bradley, DePaul. Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State, Purdue
This hardworking guard has posted great numbers this season for an underrated Peoria Central.
3	G	Joseph Bertrand Sterling (IL) High Illinois Wolves	6'3"	160 lbs	Bradley, Illinois, Illinois State, Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Purdue, Southern Illinois, Wisconsin
Saw his stock rise more than any other prospect in the state due to recent performances.
4	G/F	Marcus Jordan Wilamette (IL) Loyola Academy Rising Stars	6'4"	190 lbs	Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Stanford
Michael's youngest son has acquired better ball handling skills thus making him tougher to defend. Has played very well in his varsity debut year. Though he's his team's sixth man, they obviously depend on him more than half of their starters.
5	PG	Chris Colvin Chicago (IL) Whitney Young Top Flight / Illinois Fire	6'2"	175 lbs	Bradley, California, Clemson, Fresno State, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Oakland
Has played at the 1, 2, and 3 alongside A.J. Rompza and Bryan Hall for a solid Whitney Young.
6	G	Kyree Jones Chicago (IL) Julian Indiana Elite	6'2"	165 lbs	Chicago State
This Indiana transfer draws comparisons to former Julian star, Sean Dockery.
7	PG	James Kinney Champaign (IL) Centennial Illinois Stars	6'1"	160 lbs	Bradley, Butler, DePaul, Illinois, Indiana, Louisville, Michigan State, Penn State
When Kinney is hot, he's hot. This streak shooter gave it to Richwoods at the Shootout at the Hall and has also had a few other high scoring outputs. Has really shown up in all the big games.
8	WG	Xavier Humphrey Oak Park (IL) Fenwick Illinois Stars	6'3"	175 lbs	Arizona, California, Illinois, Iowa, Marquette, Michigan State, North Carolina, Northwestern, Purdue, USC, Washington, Wisconsin
X has been a streaky player but he can go on big time scoring runs.
9	F	Michael Haynes Chicago (IL) Washington Illinois Fire	6'5"	230 lbs
Transferred to Washington this season and has made a big impact on their team.
10	WF	Jordan Walker Champaign (IL) Central Chicago Ferrari	6'6"	175 lbs
Walker's athleticism has been taking a toll on his opposition so far this winter. He's a very exciting player to watch and is one to keep an eye on as he progresses throughout his high school career.
11	G	D'mitri Riggs Bloomington (IL) High Rising Stars	6'2"	175 lbs	Arizona, Connecticut, DePaul, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, UCLA, Wisconsin
Has had a very disappointing season so far considering his reputation. Still averaging around 10 ppg for a talented team. Shows flashes of brilliance but disappears in big games and often appears disinterested. Presently skating by on talent alone.
12	PF	Steve Walker South Holland (IL) Thornwood Illinois Stars	6'6"	280 lbs
Is currently ineligible for the Thunderbirds but has been terrific when on the floor.
13	PG	Seth Evans Seneca (IL) High Illinois Stars	6'0"	165 lbs
This scoring guard has led his team to an undefeated season so far.
14	G	Darius Smith Chicago (IL) Marshall Team Illinois Hawks	6'1"	180 lbs
Smith is posting big numbers, as he did freshman season. He's a "do-it-all" type player.
15	PG	Lawrence Thomas Springfield (IL) Southeast Illinois Warriors	5'8"	140 lbs	Arizona, Illinois, Illinois State
Scoring wise, "LT" may be posting the best numbers as a sophomore.
