Mid Illinois Top 3 teams IMO. East Peoria: for most they will be the favorite to win the conference. They are lead by big time recruit Jr 6’6 Quinton Kitt & Dynamic Jr PG Cole Dubois. Sr CG Jackson Ahrens has also been a steady scoring punch for EP the last couple of seasons & brings a ton of experience to this group. Sr 6’3 AJ Evans & So. 6’4 Kaylen Hardy (both Peoria High Transfers) will add some size, length, skill to EP. Would assume talented Fr. PG Kingston Weatherspoon will be with Varsity team as well. Tons of scoring options & expectations for this group. Their non-conference schedule not being very challenging overall, is a thing that confuses me some because they have the players to get some banger games. New experience for them being the hunted vs the hunter. Morton: Upperclassmen driven team that lost some key pieces but have guys ready to step into those spots. Jr. 6’6 Wing Brendan Petty is poised to have a big season. Sr sharp shooter Alex McKie, Sr junkyard dog Silas Steffen, Sr 6’8 Tommy Krupa adds size in the paint, Sr Jude Zeller & Sr Owen Adams bring some steady play to the backcourt. 6’0 Sr CG Jack Wilderman (PND Transfer) brings both a scoring punch & speed/physicality to the guard position. 6’2 Soph Reid Neuhoff will get some meaningful minutes for the Potters this season. I have a feeling they will challenge EP for the conference title. Metamora: Major youth movement here. 2028 class is loaded with size, skill, potential, and athleticism. Soph Wing 6’6 Brady Jones is the lone varsity major minute returner (now bigger & stronger). I would expect his production to take off. I believe Soph 6’4 G Sam Koch will really jump onto radars all over the state this year. Shot Making Guard that can get buckets in a lot of ways while also possessing the athleticism to play above the rim. Soph PG Collin Morrison with a super competitive physical PG that will get the keys to lead. Soph 6’6 Big Cameron Beekman gives them some length and athleticism inside. Juniors Gavin Geier, 6’3 Briggs Bucy, Logan Vasquez, Zach Born will all add depth and skill to this roster. Soph 6’5 Jaxson Backes & 6’5 Fr Eamon Lynch could also maybe see some varsity minutes through out the season.
