1

WG

Crandall Head
Richton Park (IL) Rich South
Illinois Bobcats

6'5"

180

VERBALLY COMMITTED TO ILLINOIS

Averaging over 20 points per contests.  He playing better than any other guard in the state.  He is 2010's best player and a candidate for the state's top gun.
 

2

WF

Jereme Richmond
Waukegan (IL) HS
Rising Stars

6'7"

185

VERBALLY COMMITTED TO ILLINOIS

Richmond is playing more of a post than a wing right now but is still performing at a high level.  Touted as a top 5 national recruit by many sources.
 

3

WG

Alex Dragicevich
Northbrook (IL) Glenbrook North
Illinois Wolves

6'4"

180

Illinois

Not Jon Scheyer but GBN's next best thing.  Dragicevich has quickly earned a reputation as a high profile scoring guard.
 

4

PG

Lavonte Dority
Chicago (IL) Foreman
Illinois Stars

5'11"

175

DePaul, Illinois, Kansas

The resemblence to Sherron Collins' floor game is almost scary.  Dority has been the most instrumental in Foreman's success this season.
 

5

PG

DeAndre McCamey
Westchester (IL) St. Joseph
Illinois Wolves

6'1"

180

DePaul, Illinois

A leader on the floor.  McCamey is scoring, rebounding, and dishing assists.  He's been the glue to a talented St. Joe's team.  Better than his brother Demetri at the same age.
 

6

WG

Anthony Johnson
Chicago (IL) Whitney Young
Chicago Ferrari

6'2"

170

Illinois

Considering the talent on his team, Johnson has put up good numbers.  He's had a few off nights which knocked him down a couple spots but is still playing solid.  Had a big night against Marshall in the CPL 3rd Place game.

Illinois Stars

6'3"

6'3"

165

Arizona, Bradley, Baylor, Duquesne, Eastern Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Murray State, Northern Iowa
