Player Height Position School Class
Ka'Darryl Bell 6-0 Point Guard Oak Park-River Forest 2012
A super-quick floor general who is at his best using his speed and quickness attacking the basket. Very difficult to guard one-on-one. Elevated his stock considerably during the month of July.
Player Height Position School Class
Anthony Davis 6-10 Power Forward Chicago Perspectives 2011
Completed a whirlwind run on the spring and summer travel team circuit with a very strong month of July that now have many believing that he may well be the top Class of 2011 basketball prospect in the country.
Player Height Position School Class
Ryan Jackson 6-2 Point Guard Riverside-Brookfield 2011
Combined with Derrick Marks (Plainfield Central) to form one of the elite backcourt duo's on the circuit. Jackson solidified his position as a Division I backcourt talent, and was one of the main cogs in Old Gold's Elite Eight run at 17-U AAU Nationals.
Player Height Position School Class
Marcus Posley 6-1 Guard Winnebago 2012
Teamed with Fred Van Vleet (Rockford Auburn) in the PrymeTyme backcourt and was again sizzled on the basketball court. A superb slasher who has the ability to carry a team for stretches offensively.
Player Height Position School Class
Steve Taylor 6-7 Power Forward Chicago Simeon 2012
A highly athletic frontcourt force who impacts games on both ends of the floor. One of the best rebounders in the state of Illinois regardless of class. Picked up a Big 10 offer from Northwestern after a strong series of July efforts.
Player Height Position School Class
Mike Turner 6-7 Power Forward University High School 2011
Turner anchored the post for Mean Streets-Newell, and sent his recruiting stock soaring as he opened the month of July in very strong fashion. Highly effective and efficient inside.
Player Height Position School Class
Nick Zeisloft 6-4 Shooting Guard Lyons Township 2011
Zeisloft followed up a superb junior season at Lyons Township with an even stronger run with Full Package on the travel team circuit. Firmly established himself as one of the premier shooters in the state of Illinois.
