Aurora Preseason ID: Top Overall Prospects


Illinois Scouting Staff

On Monday, January 19th, we kicked off our winter ID circuit with the Aurora Preseason ID, held at the Sports Zone in Aurora, IL. This event was host to roughly 50 players from around the state and allowed all in attendance to showcase their off-season gains in a pro-style workout. 

Today, we conclude our post-event content with a ranking of who our staff thought showed the best on the day, regardless of position.
