***Players who had write-up sections in the previous post(s) will not have repeat analysis.
All-Freshman First Team
Amarion Smith-Holley (Fr. – Peoria Richwoods)
Stats: 19.4 ppg/3.0 rpg/2.8 apg
The highest scorer in the class this year was handed the keys for Richwoods. Smith-Holley excelled as a shot creator and one-on-one player in a very impressive opening campaign.
Archie Goewey (Fr. – Centralia)
Stats: N/A
Goewey proved to possess winning traits from day one. He is a physical, athletic big guard who shoots it at a high clip, operates off of the dribble with confidence, and rebounds like a post player. One of the safest long-term prospects in the class.
Brady Pettigrew (Fr. – Bolingbrook)
Stats: 11 ppg/3 spg
The highly-touted guard made defense his calling card, which is hard to do as a freshman. Still found ways to score on dribble penetration and on kickouts. Pettigrew is on a nice trajectory for a talented Bolingbrook core.
Cole Kelly (Fr. – Neuqua Valley)
Stats: 19 ppg/10.2 rpg/2.7 apg/1.7 spg/1.0 bpg
Ethan Vahl (Fr. – Oswego)
Stats: 18.5 ppg/5.5 rpg/3 apg/1.3 spg
Stepped into a lead role for Oswego and made the most of it. Taller point guard with great vision and the ability to separate from defenders. Took nearly 20 charges on the defensive end and showed a competitive edge.
All-Freshmen Second Team
Brock Brown (Fr. – Taylorville)
Stats: N/A
Wiry wing for Taylorville is an impressive movement shooter who has been a high-octane scorer. Brown looks to be in the early stages of his physical growth and already has the perimeter skills to thrive.
Cole Tillman (Fr. – Mendota)
Stats: 16.7 ppg/5.5 rpg/2.8 apg
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him receive some all-state consideration in their class. Talented lefty has three-point range and playmaking ability at 6-foot-5. Regularly gave Mendota a go-to scoring option.
Darrius Hawkins (Fr. – Homewood Flossmoor)
Stats: 8.8 ppg/3.4 apg/2.0 spg/42% 3PT
Didn’t have the volume of some of his peers but was excellent in a complementary role for the reigning 4A state champions. Dynamic ball-handler made big shots, handled the ball well, and was a game-changer at times with his ball pressure.
Jayen Dozie (Fr. – Maine East)
Stats: 13.4 ppg/5.1 rpg/65 3PM
An under-the-radar freshman who has high-level skill already. Fit in perfectly with Maine East as a scoring guard who drills threes and plays with grit on both ends.
Ryder Wettig (Fr. – Trico)
Stats: 16.6 ppg/9.6 rpg/4.5 apg
Another freshman who has been terrific in multiple areas this year. Wettig is a well-built wing who has plus vision, shoots the laces off of the ball, and can score on the interior. A legitimate double-double threat showed he was capable of taking over games.
All-Freshman Third Team
Ben Ojala (Fr. – Evanston)
Stats: N/A
Seems unfazed by the moment for Evanston, even in high-pressure moments. Wows as a ball-handler, shooter, and pinpoint passer for the experienced Wildkits. Also has been a reliable on-ball defender.
Brady Jones (Fr. – Metamora)
Stats: 8.9 ppg/4.1 rpg/1.5 apg/66.7% FG/39.5% 3PT
Part of a talented freshmen class at Metamora. Jones seemingly improves by the week while playing with great energy and activity on both ends. Shoots the three confidently, finishes well around the rim, and is just an all-around talented athlete. A blossoming front-court prospect with a high ceiling.
CJ Pittman (Fr. – Payton)
Stats: N/A
Slick, strong lead guard was given a lot of responsibilities to run the team early on. Fearless shot-maker and an under-control ball-handler and distributor. Seems primed to be an impactful floor general in Chicago for the next few years.
DeAndre Higgs (Fr. – Thornton)
Stats: 10.3 ppg
Wasted no time being a factor for a new-look Thornton team. Higgs brings a level of creativity and downhill force as a driver that led to him being one of their top options with a tough schedule.
Kelechi Enyia (Fr. – Providence Catholic)
Stats: N/A
Instantly adapted to the rugged Chicago Catholic League. Enyia flashed long-term potential with near-term production as a slasher and transition option who rebounded well from the wing.
All-Freshman Fourth Team

Williams has compiled multiple double-doubles throughout the year as his game continued to progress. One of the better big prospects in the class, he was also a factor as a shot blocker.
Brayden Porter (Fr. – Yorkville)
Stats: N/A
The talented wing earned a starting role and never looked back. Ferocious basket attacker who stepped out to hit threes and was excellent in the open floor at times for the Foxes.
Chase Kasten (Fr. – Normal)
Stats: N/A
Do-it-all wing has so much potential with his frame, athleticism, and evolving skillset. Kasten really impressed with his defensive agility and anticipation throughout the year. Also provided value as a spot-up shooter, cutter, and straight-line driver for a good Normal team.
Jacob Only (Fr. – St. Viator)
Stats: N/A
Only shined as a defensive stalwart who dominates games with his point-of-attack defense. The slashing ability helped him become one of Viator’s top scorers in ESCC play. The arrow is pointing up.
Luke Alexander (Fr. – North Mac)
Stats: 11.8 ppg
Alexander has been productive since the start of the year for North Mac. The lanky guard is a knockdown shooter and all-around scorer who has a knack for filling it up. His level of confidence and aggressiveness is uncommon for a freshman.

All-Senior Fourth Team
Andrew Hill (Sr. – ICCP)
Stats: 19.4 ppg/9.1 rpg/1.7 apg
A talented, 6-foot-6 wing for ICCP who has provided value across the board for ICCP. Hill has taken over games as a scorer and used his athleticism and size to dominate on the glass, guard multiple positions, and handle double teams. Promising unsigned senior was an All-CCL pick.
Anestis Hadjistamoulou (Sr. – Glenbrook South)
Stats: 17.0 ppg/3.8 apg/1.6 spg/40.3% 3PT
He etched his name in the record books for GBS while proving to be a high-level floor general. An efficient, crafty lead guard was an All-CSL selection after leading the Titans. Will be a very good D3 player.
Brady Sehlhorst (Sr. – Notre Dame College Prep)
Stats: 21 ppg/6 rpg
Sehlhorst broke the Dons single-season scoring record. All-ESCC player has a unique blend of size, fluidity, and perimeter skills that have allowed him to stand out for NDCP. Division 1 upside.
Colby Smith (Sr. – New Trier)
Stats: 17 ppg/4 rpg/3 apg
The quintessential tough, productive, two-way guard. Smith has maintained a high-level impact and thrived in a leadership role. Physical dribble-drive player with good footwork and the ability to hit shots from the perimeter. WashU commit is a winner.
Donte Montgomery (Sr. – Oak Lawn)
Stats: 24.4 ppg/5.8 rpg/4 apg/3 spg/53% FG
Won conference player of the year after a dominant season for Oak Lawn. Montgomery is a shutdown defender and slick scorer on the offensive end. Still uncommitted, but has scholarship-level appeal.
Henry Marshall (Sr. – St. Viator)
Stats: N/A
A model student-athlete who is committed to MIT. A committed and disruptive on-ball defender who was a scoring leader in the ESCC. As steady as they come as a decision maker with the ball.
Hudson Kirby (Sr. – Geneva)
Stats: 15.6 ppg/8.6 rpg/3.2 apg/2 bpg
Wisconsin-Parkside commit had a great year for the Vikings. One of the top players in the DuKane excelled on both ends as a basket attacker, offensive connector, and multi-purpose defender with a nose for the ball.
Lorenzo Shields (Sr. – Simeon)
Stats: N/A
Scoring guard for Simeon has been one of the mainstays in their lineup over the last two years. Emerged as a top option with the ability to score in traffic. Remains uncommitted but should have a number of suitors.
Luca Carbonaro (Sr. – Wheaton Warrenville South)
Stats:18 ppg/4.5 rpg/4.4 apg/66 def/59 stls/29 blks
Won DuKane Player of the Year and was a premium option for WWS. Did everything for them, from scoring in bulk to facilitating, to spearheading their zone. Multi-sport standout has a chance to play football and basketball at multiple programs.
Matthew Morrice (Sr. – St. Edward)
Stats: 23 ppg/8.6 rpg/3 apg/2 spg/64% FG
One of the more dominant small-school players in the state this year. Hyper-efficient, volume scorer had multiple monster outputs for the Waves. Morrice generates a ton of defensive attention and still finds ways to produce.
Mitchel Edwards (Sr. – Carmi-White)
Stats: 22.6 ppg/7.6 rpg/1.5 bpg/62 3PM
Another impressive small-school player. 6-foot-7 wing is a walking mismatch due to his athletic gifts and on-ball skillset. Edwards showed his potential as a versatile threat all season. D2-type of prospect who is uncommitted.
Phoenix Childs (Sr. – Perspectives)
Stats: 22 ppg/7 RPG
Minnesota State recruit. One of the state’s most impressive transfers after winning a state title at Phillips last year. A downhill force for Perspectives that is capable of exploding once he heats up.
Simon Moschin (Sr. – Highland Park)
Stats: 20 ppg/4 rpg/3 apg/3 spg
Became Highland Park’s all-time leading scorer and continues to look like the perfect D3 point guard recruit. Smart, strategic, skilled senior can fill it up as a jump shooter and use his quickness to force turnovers defensively. Moschin has amassed a wonderful career for HP.
Zack Sharkey (Sr. – Marian Catholic)
Stats: 19.3 ppg/6.3 rpg/2.3 apg/1.1 spg
All-ESCC guard continued to improve during his time at Marian. Three-level scorer and a solid decision-maker as a primary playmaker.Added strength and burst to be more effective this year. Sharkey has D2 potential as an unsigned senior.
Zerrick Johnson (Sr. – St. Laurence)
Stats: 13 ppg/5 rpg/57% FG
Physical guard was the leading scorer for an undefeated CCL team. Johnson makes things happen on both ends of the floor and plays much bigger than his size. He has proven to be a valuable combo guard over his team at Laurence.
