Illinois has produced some great basketball players from Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose to Anthony Davis and Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas.
6'7 power forward EJ Liddell from Belleville, IL (Near St Louis) not only won Illinois Mr Basketball as a junior. He also led his Belleville West HS to a 4A (highest division) state championship.
The uncommitted senior recently cut his list of possible colleges to 5: Ohio State, Kansas State, Wisconsin, Missouri and Illinois.
Considered one of the top 50 players in his class nationally, we caught Liddell playing with his Belleville West squad at the historic Morris Shootout, one of Illinois best, oldest summer basketball tournaments.
As the video will show, Liddell dominated in every phase of the game: scoring, rebounding, blocking, dunking over opponents. He looked like a man among boys!
Check out these raw highlights from Morris Shootout featuring EJ Liddell!
