6-10 Jordan Threloff of DeKalb, a Class of 2010 prospect who continues to get bigger, and also continues to make very nice strides on the basketball court had both Illinois and Loyola stop in for open gym this week.
6-7 Class of 2009 Richards High School star Shaun Pratl of MeanStreets continues to impress with his strong play on the basketball court. This past weekend, Pratl anchored the frontcourt for a MeanStreets team that advanced all the way to the Elite 8 at the King James Shooting Stars Classic. In the past two weeks, Southern Illinois, Indiana State and Illinois State have all been in to see Pratl, who will be the feature player next season for head coach John Chappetto, as they look to defend their Class 4A state title.
Very quietly, Class of 2009 Rich South star Kendrick Morse has been ripping through all-comers on the basketball court. Morse, a 5-8 point guard, has been close to unstoppable scoring and distributing the basketball, all the while not turning the basketball over. Morse who was stellar at the ChicagoHoops Spring Tip-Off Classic, the Kingwood Classic and also the King James Shooting Stars Classic, will be in action this weekend with the Illinois Ice at the Spiece Run N' Slam.
Loras College head coach Greg Gorton is a real good dude.
