An Early Look At The Leading 2005 Mr. Basketball Contenders
Brian Stinnette April 13, 2004 Email Questions/Comments To [email protected] Here is an early look at the leading candidates to bring home the 2005 Mr. Basketball award. 6-8 Julian Wright (Homewood-Flossmoor) and 6-5 Jon Scheyer (Glenbrook North), a pair of Illinois Warriors, headline the list of contenders. 1. Julian Wright Class of 2005 6-8 Guard/Forward Homewood-Flossmoor The top Class of 2005 prospect in the state of Illinois. Long, athletic and highly versatile. Should really get a chance to open things up offensively as a senior. An “electric” player on the basketball court. H-F is still a threat with Wright teaming with Freddie Barnes and D.J. Posley to make another run at the state title. 2. Jon Scheyer Class of 2006 6-5 Guard Glenbrook North The top Class of 2006 prospect in the state of Illinois. Glenbrook North will likely be ranked among the preseason Top 5 teams in the state Zach Kelly and Sean Wallis giving Scheyer support. Scheyer is an offensive machine with incredible court sense. 3. Bobby Frasor Class of 2005 6-3 Point Guard Chicago Brother Rice Tremendous all-around skill package. An outstanding shooter who can also get to the basket with ease. Frasor is a big time basketball talent. Brother Rice, one of the best coached teams in Illinois, is always a threat to make a strong tournament run. 4. Kevin Lisch Class of 2005 6-2 Guard Belleville Althoff A warrior on the basketball court. Lisch is a superb shooter who really gets after it on both ends of the floor. Althoff is a legitimate state title contender. The only question is whether or not they will be a Class AA, or Class A team in 2004-05. 5. Jerel McNeal Class of 2005 6-3 Shooting Guard Hillcrest A true force on both ends of the floor. McNeal has the heart of a champion, and the skills to match. Hillcrest brings everybody back, and McNeal’s Mr. Basketball credentials will soar if he gets a state title under his belt. 6. Nate Minnoy Class of 2005 6-3 Small Forward Undecided A player with the ability to completely dominate a game offensively. A warrior on the offensive glass. Minnoy is one of a handful of players capable of putting a team on his back, and leading them to victory. Whoever Minnoy plays for will be a team to contend with. |
