Is Simeon(Chicago) 2011-2012 Possibly Best of All-Time in Illinois

Chicago Simeon has won 4 of the last 6 State Titles in Illinois. They have won back to back 4A State Titles and will be looking for a 3rd straight title next winter. With the transfer of Jaylen Tate from DeLaSalle to Simeon this summer their lineup is loaded. First off you have to start with the coach Robert Smith. He has shown he can get the most talented players to play "The Simeon Way" and sublime their egos for the team goals. Simeon teams are not your typical Chicago Public League Power. They are not just a pressing and running team, they can also play half court, patient offense. They have a suffocating defense and are again 10 deep. Start with Jabari Parker who is considered not only the top player in the Class of 2013, but possibly the best player regardless of class. He's a 6 foot 8 230 pound jack of all trades player who can play any position. Then there's Steve Taylor 6 foot 8 220 pound forward in the Class of 2012 who has commited to Marquette. Jelani Neely 6 foot point guard who's recovering from a torn ACL injury. At the time of the injury he was playing his best basketball in June. He's a division one prospect, then there's Tate the transfer who's a 6 foot 3 pure point guard and another major division one prospect. The other starting spot will go to Kendrick Nunn a 6 foot 2 shooting guard who's a phenominal athlete who showed he's a combo guard this past summer and a knock down shooter. He's also a Class of 2013 recruit who recently gave a "soft" verbal to Texas A&M. Kendall Pollard a 6 foot 6 forward who's a Class of 2013 player who will probably be the best sixth man in the state. Also Lawrence Briggs 5 foot 10 point guard Class of 2013 and Dennis Williams an incoming freshman Class of 2015 will contribute off the bench. They are not as deep as Whitney Young but Simeon is better coached and more balanced. They have a chance to be one of the best high school basketball teams of all time in the State of Illinois. They also will be ranked among the top five teams in the country. It will be interesting if Simeon plays a National Schedule this year?
