Timaris Brown ‘22 of St. Pats is a 6’5 athletic F. He can handle & create his own shot off the dribble. His shooting abilities were on display, hitting threes from well behind the arc. He also uses his polished post game to play bully ball in the paint scoring through contact.

Tom Izzo back at Ridgewood Shootout to see Yorkville Christian’s Jaden Schutt (under basket). Assistants from Illinois and Iowa also here. ⁦@schutt_jaden⁩ ⁦@JimComparoni⁩ ⁦@Pkonyndyk⁩ ⁦@chrissolari⁩ ⁦@Graham_Couch⁩ ⁦@IllinoisRivals⁩

'22 Anthony McGhee is a knock down shooting guard with a smooth shooting stroke. He has a quick first step and can get in the lane to create for himself or others. His shooting ability is elite, making four threes both spotting up & off the dribble. @NDCP_Hoops @RHSSummerBBall

AJ Reed ‘22 of St. Ignatius is a lanky play making guard. He can score in bunches with his ball handling ability and his quick first step. He’s best in transition finding cutters or beating defenders down the floor to finish. @SICPBB

Richard Barron ‘23 of St. Ignatius is a 6’5” sturdy guard. He handles the ball well for his size and uses his frame to get in the paint and finish. His shot making ability was on display making contested threes, tough midrange jumpers & finishing through contact. @SICPBB

Donaven Younger ‘23 of Bolingbrook Is a long & agile PF. He runs the floor very well to score in transition. Younger is also an aggressive rebounder that is very tough to keep off the glass. Tons of upside. @YoungerDonaven

Rashawn Bost ‘22 of Evanston is having another good weekend. He’s lighting fast with the ball in his hands and uses shifty moves to keep defenders guessing. He’s shooting it from three at a high clip and making some hard passes look easy out of the pick and roll. @ETHShoops

Caleb Hannah ‘22 of Orr is a lanky athletic wing. He does it all for his team. Standing at 6’7” he can pass, handle and hit the three at a high rate. He can also create his own shot using his quick first step to get around defenders & finish above the rim. @OrrSpartanBBall

After a great talk with @CoachTStubbs I am blessed to have received an offer from DePaul University🔵

Thornton Wildcats 2022 Guard Darius Robinson (@ball4p3x) dropped 42 points 🏀 today in the 81-50 win over Huntley at Chicagoland Summer Showcase today @RPSChicagoland @ssuburbanhoops @IllHoopScene @ILLHoopsScoops @chilandprephoop @NestoHoops @MeanstreetsEYB #CSS2021 #TTHS

I like the toughness of Leo guard Tyler Smith will guard you 94 feet all game.and still have enough energy to make meaningful shots. Kid can get to the rim as well

Jevon Bardwell ‘23 of Sacred Heart is a shifty quick guard. He’s best in transition putting pressure on the defense. He’s lighting fast and has good body control to finish through contact. He can hit the three and picks his spots well to find the best shot for him or his team.
