Preseason All-State, Underclass: Statistical Analysis
March 5, 2023
On Feb. 25, the PBR Illinois staff hosted the Preseason All-State: Underclass showcase at The MAX in McCook, Ill., featuring many of the state’s top players inside both the 2025 and 2026 classes. This event helped our staff gain a clearer picture of the on-the-rise underclassmen in Illinois, and we’ll begin to break down the excellent thoroughly today and throughout the week. Inside today’s Quick Hits post, we’re highlighting the best of the best – the talent that exited the event as with arrows pointed way up headed into the spring.
Yesterday, we published our Quick Hits from the positional players from the event. Today, we will be looking at the top measurable data performers from the event, found below.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for much more from this event.
