THE BEST IN ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL RECRUITING!

Player Focus: Jake Lindfors

“Addison Driscoll?  Wait, we’re talking football right?  They’re not a basketball school.”  Though they’re not known for their basketball program, they feature one of the best unheralded 2008 prospects throughout the state of Illinois in Jake Lindfors.

Lindfors is a 6’9” 200 lbs forward who is very skilled.  He runs the floor well and carries a premier inside-outside game.  He shoots the ball well and is good at penetrating to the cup.  He also has nice moves around the basket and is a solid rebounder.  With added strength, he will be an even more intriguing prospect.

This season, Jake has been putting up very solid numbers as he is currently averaging a double-double, nearly 20 points and 11 rebounds.  He posted a 37 point, 13 rebound effort against Lisle and has been very sufficient throughout his junior campaign.

DePaul, Northern Illinois, and Illinois-Chicago have all been pursuing the skilled forward.  Due to the fact Lindfors hasn’t participated in any AAU ball, he hasn’t been exposed to a whole lot of college programs.  However, we urge colleges to keep tabs on him.
