Today, we’re going through some of our most compelling prospects from Central Illinois – players we’ll be sure to keep an eye on through July and in to the high school season!
Lauren Shanks (Bloomington Central Catholic)
The Junior guard had a fabulous junior campaign. The sharp shooter shot 40% from the field and 34% from the arc. She has a smooth stroke and has the ability to shoot the ball off the dribble with range and is an excellent stand stood shooter from deep. Her and the Saints will look upon to build off an stellar season where they went 22-6.
Erin Houpt ( Danville)
A dynamic scoring guard that has an incredible feel for the game as well with an astonishing set of skills. As a Freshman she started every game for the Lady Vikings and showed consistent flash of brilliance with her ability to shoot the ball and also create for others, she is someone to keep on your watch as should the Lady Vikings shall be as well as they are looking to build off their past season.
Chanice Willis (Champaign Central)
The sophomore guard had a stellar second year but is looking to continue to improve aspects of her game and improves her team record. An athletic guard that can get to the basket at will and can be a nightmare to opposing guards wit her on the ball pressure. Chanice is almost unguardable when she is making her outside shots and she it is tough for anyone to stay in front of her witth her incredibly first step.
Bree Trimble (St. Joseph-Ogden)
A double-double machine. Every time Bree steps on the court its almost expected for her to get a double double. A skilled forward that is very fundamental and has good footwork and a high motor, wrecks havoc on teams and is tough cover for anyone in the state, she has great touch on her jump shoot and has the ability to knock them down from the arc, an outstanding prospect in the class of 2019.
