End-of-the-Month Roundup: September

Today marks the end of our September coverage, so we’ll wrangle up all of the most important links you may have missed from the past 28 days. This month featured the official end of summer and, thus, the end of the hectic summer showcase circuit. The lull in the calendar allowed us to publish complete analysis from Senior Games, All-State Games, and the Central Illinois Open. We also made the trip out to Westfield, Ind., for PBR Fall Championships, a tournament that featured some of the premier prep prospects in Illinois’ 2019, 2020, and 2021 classes. Mixed into all of this event analysis is a couple of Q&As with a pair of recently committed prospects as well as our Unsigned Senior Spotlight.

From a national standpoint, the class of 2021 rankings were updated and expanded and we got a peek at the 2021 arm who’s rising on the national scene.

For links on any of the aforementioned posts and articles, keep on scrolling.
