Illinois State Title Favorites In Class 2A,3A,and 4A
These are the favorites in each class, I will admit I do not know much about Class A but will try anyway. CLASS AA- NORMAL UNIVERSITY HIGH- This team finished 2nd in Class 2A last year, they are led by Ohio State recruit Keita Bates-Diop 6'7" junior guard-forward also Brad Dulee 5'10" senior the only senior in rotation. They are also supported by brothers Malik Wildermuth and Kane Wildermuth 6'5" and 6'6" juniors who crash the boards. This is a very disciplined team who run their sets to perfection. SETON ACADEMY(SOUTH HOLLAND)- This is a deep Seton team that finished 4th in Class AA. Senior guards Mark Weems and Kamal Sashi lead an experienced back court.The big addition is 6'8" forward Minnesota signee Alex Foster a transfer from DeLaSalle, this team plays 12 players regularly in their uptempo style. CLASS 3A- MORGAN PARK(CHICAGO)- This is a very talented team that should have a good chance to get to the state finals. Leader is DePaul signee Billy Garrett Jr 6'4" guard, also Dayton signee Kyle Davis 6'0" guard very athletic transfer from Hyde Park(Chicago). Markee Williams 5'10" point guard transferred back from Crane(Chicago), also 6'6" junior wing Josh Cunningham. Inside will be handled by Xzavier Taylor 6'9" senior center who rebounds and block shots. Two freshman will help Charlie Moore 5'9" guard and Alonzo Chatman 6'6" forward-center. NORTH CHICAGO-This team finished 2nd in Class 3A last year and is looking for their 3rd straight trip to Peoria. They are led by Javarious Amos-Mays 6'4" junior guard, along with JayQuan McCloud 6'2" junior guard and Kurt Carr 6'4" junior forward and Javon Coleman 6'3" senior center. This team is helped by 5'10" senior transfer guard Emmanuel January from Waukegan. This team as usual will play a fast paced up temp game to counter act lack of size. CLASS 4A- SIMEON(CHICAGO)- This team will be going for 4th straight state title, they have at least 12 division 1 prospects. Team leader is Jabari Parker 6'9" senior guard/forward/center who's ranked #1 or #2 in the country, also Illinois signee Kendrick Nunn 6'2" guard who is an excellent 3 point shooter and can jump out of the gym. His backcourt mate is an Illinois signee Jaylen Tate 6'2" point guard who runs the show, Dayton signee Kendall Pollard 6'5" forward and defensive stopper, other starter is 6'8" forward Russell Woods. Deep bench led by DJ Williams 6'7" sophomore guard/forward. WHITNEY YOUNG(CHICAGO)-This is a talented team led by #1 junior Jahlil Okafor 6'11" center who's a load inside, also Paul White 6'9" junior guard/forward and LJ Peak 6'5" junior forward who transferred from Gaffney,SC. Other 2 starters are 6'4" junior guard Miles Reynolds and California transfer Ausar Madison 5'10 senior. Bench consist of Joseph Toye 6'5" sophmore and Rodney Herrenton Jr 6'1" freshman point guard. Problem is not a deep bench and free throw shooting to be able to compete with Simeon.
