Illinois Basketball Scene

Hello all, I am stepping into the IHSA hoop scene as media coverage providing coaches and scouts with the ELITE players. My goal is to help recruitment on both sides find the right match. I am a former division one assistant, veteran high school, and pro development coach.

@Billy5Arnold @ILHoopProspects @CoachTTonsil Congrats young fella

Blessed to receive an offer from Dominican University. Thank you @CoachTTonsil for the opportunity to continue my academic and athletic career. #Gostars

The season comes to an end. Blessed to have been able to play in this program and be coached by amazing coaches throughout my 4 years. Excited to see what the future holds. —— Here’s my playoff highlights (2 games) 15 ppg 6 apg 2.5 rpg 6/7 FT Line ——

@Chibettor @BradyPettigreww How many ncaa teams did you coach for sir?

@ILHOOPSCENE1 @BradyPettigreww lol. Thx for pointing out you don’t know ball

I am going to say this now and may receive some backlash for it, @BradyPettigreww is your 25-26 IHSA Gatorade Player of The Year and it’s not even close.

@Chibettor @BradyPettigreww Talent speaks for itself. Brady can do everything Jax can and more. I don’t see Jax getting windy on fast breaks.

@ILHOOPSCENE1 @BradyPettigreww Over Jax? No chance

@MaineSouthBsktB @SotosKid12 @HSBBALLjg @scottybscout @tdc200 @PrepHoops @chilandprephoop @dailyherald @joehoopsreport @michaelsobrien @ILLHoopsScoops @ILHoopProspects P Sotos might be a top 3 player in Maine South history. Young fella is creating his own legacy.

Maine South upsets New Trier @ New Trier tonight in a close game. 55-53. Overtime. Maine South Sotos - 28 Hachigian- 11 Smucker- 8 Matushevskiy-5 Tomlinson- 2 (super clutch 2). Ryan - 1 New Trier-was led by Vogel with 19. @SotosKid12

@MasonMartin08 - Mason Martin commits to Brad Underwood and Illinois. Very underrated recruit that can light it up in a hurry. I’m seeing a similar situation as Keaton Wagler. Could come in and see big minutes right away if he can put the ball in the hoop at an efficient rate.

@tdc200 @AlexSirbu638120 @BGHSbball @HEHSbball @BreakawayBball Great player, if he wants to really make that jump to the mid-high major level get that jumper right.

Class of 2027 6’9” forward @AlexSirbu638120 of @BGHSbball another double/double last night vs @HEHSbball . 24 points 17 rebounds in the loss. @BreakawayBball

@MercuryEliteAAU Both are very effective and efficient scorers. Savy in the lane but can shoot at a high level.

Solid performances from Evan Blankenship (2026) and Joe Reid (2026) in a win for Batavia tonight. Blankenship: 15 points Reid: 12 points #MercSquad

@JustinO2026 Is a DAWG. When I say DAWG I mean DAWG

@BallisLifeCHI @HeardDK @madehoops @trigonis30 @PangosAACamp @FCPPangos @caravanhoops @TheMacIrvinFire Got to be in attendance for this loud performance from the young fella. This young man has some juice to his game.

Chicago Freshman 🔥 DK Heard making a name on the South Side at Mount Carmel @HeardDK

@Sports4Illinois @Danny_Snyder3 @GEastHoops @BreakawayBball @DuhawkMBB @mattjnow @mikeclarkpreps Congrats young fella

Danny Snyder has committed to Loras College 🟣‼️ @Danny_Snyder3 @GEastHoops @BreakawayBball

@Billy5Arnold - William Arnold - top contender for CCC POY mid season. He can do a little bit of everything and should be on all small college coaches radars. Got to watch him last night vs St. Ed’s and he did not disappoint. Get on this young fella before it’s too late.

@AsaniDixon61318 I see you young fella

@ILHOOPSCENE1 under the radar senior. Making big plays!!

As the high school season is beginning very soon I will be having write ups on games I go to each week. #bescene

@al_biancalana Everyone go follow Coach Biancalana on his new account. He is a great coach I’ve known for many years and has a lot of knowledge to spread. (His account just got hacked)

@Samueljgolden Congrats young fella, been there since day 1

I’m excited to announce my commitment to continue my athletic and academic career at Denison University! Big thank you to my parents for helping me along this journey. A special thanks to Coach Livatino and the whole coaching staff at Loyola and the many other coaches who have helped me over the years. Finally, thank you to Coach Sullivan and Coach Quinn for the opportunity. Go Big Red!

Timi Ogunsanya - @timiogunsanya @ETHShoops Young fella can shoot the cover off the ball and gets hot in streaks. Will have a jump in his production and role this year. look for the righty sniper to have multiple 5+ three games. A leader on a younger Evanston squad. #bescene
