Best shooter: Connor Kochera, St Viator(Arlington Heights, IL) is a 6'5" wing who is not ranked in the top 100. This was a tough decision as there are more than a few in the country that can light it up. He hit three after three in two tournaments I saw this summer. He has a smooth, textbook shooting motion, gets off the floor very high on his jump shot. He shoots it on the way up and has a great follow through. He does not play on any shoe circuit as he plays for Fundamental University(IL). He committed to William And Mary(VA) this week.

He also lists Kochera as one of his six candidates for Chicago Tribune’s Illinois Mr. Basketball:

“Connor Kochera, St Viator(Arlington Heights)- 6'5" shooting guard took a backseat to the division one backcourt of Trey Calvin and Jeremiah Hernandez. He also battled injuries last year. The William and Mary commit exploded this summer hitting threes, finishing at the rim, and decent defense. He should be the main guy in the offense this year, and have plenty of chances to put up big numbers. It will depend on how deep they get into the Class 3A State playoffs for his chances at the award.”

Justin Pierce came in sixth for this Mr. Basketball award his senior year.

Not bad company with a tbd P5 commit, Duke commit, Iowa commit, Minnesota commit, and 2021 player considered the best player in the state.
