🏀🏆🇺🇸 The IHSA is proud to announce in conjunction with the University of Illinois, Fighting Illini Athletics, the State Farm Center, & Experience Champaign-Urbana that the IHSA Boys Basketball State Finals will remain in Champaign-Urbana through the 2029 state tourney!
Miami-Ohio offered Waubonsie Valley point guard Tyreek Coleman, one of the breakout stars of the 2023-24 season and a player who vaulted up the Hoops Report player rankings this past winter. Coleman will gain a whole lot more traction as he now plays with the Illinois Wolves.
ICYMI: Since this original list came out there have been several more commitments, including Robbie Avila following his coach to SLU and Dante Maddox to Xavier. Here are a whole bunch of coveted Illinois products on the move in the transfer portal. chicago.suntimes.com/high-school-ba…

EJ Mosley. Set for big year. Romeoville point guard continues to be a Hoops Report favorite. Drops in five threes today for Y&R. Big fan.
York senior Kyle Waltz, who is playing this spring with Breakaway, will get some Division I eyes on him in coming months. The unheralded 6-7 Waltz — a Hoops Report high-upside sleeper all winter — has looked the part at RecruitLook event today.

Triton wins again! The River Grove school headed to NJCAA Division I National Championship Game. Just give the national Coach of the Year award to Brian Burns already. First-year head coach leads Trojans to first-ever D1 title game appearance after a D2 title in 2018.

Great season son @Sn1per_T thru all the road blocks and adversity, you proved you are one of the best players to put on that @IlliniMBB jersey and to play college basketball and made your family so proud . You have nothing to hold your head for you have achieved a lot couldn’t…
Thank you Illini Nation ❤️🟠🔵
I want to thank @michaelsobrien and @joehoopsreport on their incredible coverage of Illinois High School Basketball. We know that their main job is covering Chicago land but they always mention what is happening to downstate teams too. Thank you.
@joehoopsreport yesss butt the top 3a schools wille go haed two haed wit 4a any day

@joehoopsreport Those plucky perennial underdogs Young and Simeon.
@joehoopsreport Dolan Hall 4th floor is trouble
Lots of Central Illinois coverage- well done as always by Joe
Life outside the Chicago area. So many state threats around Illinois this year, including the defending 3A champs and several of the historic, storied programs in state history. Here is a look at those top teams and their road to Champaign. chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/11/2403…
"The shot clock is fantastic. It’s game-changing for the viewer, more interesting for coaches and more fun for players. The more games with the shot block, the better."... Hear! Hear!
ICYMI: From Pontiac to Proviso, State Farm to Jack Tosh and nuggets from Hinsdale Central, the Big Dipper and everywhere else, here are a whole bunch of thoughts from recent holiday tournament action in illinois … chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/2/24022…
@michaelsobrien @joehoopsreport Great Article! You went pretty far back. Its amazing the talent Illinois has produced over the years. I wish these two kids the best of luck and a great future. They sure are turning heads!
@michaelsobrien When Sides Collide is going to be 🔥🔥🔥
@michaelsobrien Was that Angel Hernandez on the call? Still not the worst call tonight…Brad Allen apparently not seeing a 300 pound lineman approach him to say he is an eligible receiver wins the award.
@BonesMckinzie @joehoopsreport Here’s to avoiding the transfer portal. Cheers!
Loaded night of IL High School basketball Normal vs. Romeoville Thornton vs. Homewood Flossmoor Downers Grove North vs. Metamora Bolingbrook vs. Palatine Joliet West vs. New Trier Warren vs. Kenwood Collinsville vs. Quincy @joehoopsreport @michaelsobrien @scottybscout
@joehoopsreport Agreed. Just a little respectful high school sports banter
Congratulations to HOF person, coach and friend Gene Heidkamp on becoming the winningest coach in Benet Basketball’s rich tradition. @BenetHoops @joehoopsreport @NestoHoops @scottybscout
@670TheScore @dan_bernstein He regularly went on 5 to 10 minute rambling that had zero to do with games. And his constant attempts to make even the most routine plays sound like Game 7 of the World Series was a habit he's never grown out of. Great guy, bad PR move, but not the world's best broadcaster.
Following another huge and impressive win at IHSA State Tennis Finals, juniors Brooke Coffman and Gabby Lee have reached the state semifinals for second straight year. North’s top doubles team knocked off Stevenson 6-4, 7-6 (9-7) in quarterfinals.
@joehoopsreport What a great event fortunate to have had a team participate in this high profile shootout! Looking forward to come out to watch it
Thanks Joe, DePaul is excited to be involved in such a fantastic event. @joehoopsreport
We are six months to the day away from the 2024 When Sides Collide. An expansion brings one more game and two more teams to the lineup Jan. 20: Benet, DePaul Prep, Downers North, Joliet West, Kenwood, Mount Carmel, Normal, Thornton, Yorkville and Young. Matchups coming soon…
