State of Illinois Top 5 High School Basketball Class of 2011

This is one of the greatest classes ever produced in the state of Illinois. It will hard to pick a top 5 since at least 50 division I players will come out of this class. 1) ANTHONY DAVIS 6'10" FORWARD-CENTER PERSPECTIVES CHARTER(CHICAGO) - The greatest recruiting riser ever in the history of high school basketball. Nobody knew about him at all last March. Growing 10 inches in 21 months will do that. As it is he's a Kevin Garnett light. He blocks shots, great ball handler,three point shooter and rebounder. Signed with Kentucky he has a chance to be one of the best players ever to come out of Chicago. Needs to add strength. 2) WAYNE BLACKSHEAR 6'5" GUARD-FORWARD-MORGAN PARK(CHICAGO)- This Lousiville signee is an awesome athlete that can jump out of the gym. Good post up player,rebounder,three point shooter. Needs to learn how to use athleticism to play defense and also improve his ball handling. Has a chance to be a great one in college. 3) MYCHEAL HENRY 6'6" GUARD-FORWARD-ORR(CHICAGO)- Known as a knock down three point shooter this Illinois signee is so much more. He can put the ball on the ground,rebound, and is a good passer. A great get for Bruce Webber and the ILLINI. Has a chance to be an NBA Player. 4) MICHAEL SHAW 6'8" FORWARD-CENTER-DELASALLE(CHICAGO)- He's ranked higher on my list because he plays hard and has a myriad of skills. Can shoot it out to three point range, rebounds, and blocks shots. Most think he has reached his ceiling. I for one don't think he has. Illinois signee will have a great senior year. 5) Chasson Randle 6'1" GUARD-ROCK ISLAND- The Stanford signee is a combo guard that has a chance to play point at the next level. Can shoot,pass, and is quick with the ball. Solid build that is ready for the college game. Plays lock down defense also. There are a lot more deserving players not on this list. As I said this is a great class comparable to 1998 class of Quentin Richardson, Corey Maggette, and Frank Williams.
