Whitney Young (IL

Head Coach : Tyrone Slaughter 2021-22 Record: 25-10

Overview

Whitney Young has been one of the most successful programs in Illinois for the past decade plus. After falling to undefeated juggernaut Glenbard West in the 4A state championship a season ago, Whitney Young will have vengeance on their mind. The Dolphins lost several key contributors from that run. AJ Casey (Miami), Xavier Amos (NIU), and Matt Sommerville (TSF) have all moved on. Luckily, they will have quality returners from a 25 win team that will be asked to step up. 2023 point guard Dalen Davis will be the leader of the group with 2025 Antonio Munoz and others by his side.

Player Spotlight

Dalen Davis will be the man in charge for Coach Slaughter and Whitney Young. Davis is a 5’11 lead guard that is committed to Princeton. He’s been a major piece of the Dolphins success since he was a freshman, playing alongside future Duke Blue Devil and DJ Steward. Davis is exactly the type of point guard that you would want leading your team and initiating your offense. He controls the tempo with his pace and is a high IQ player. A natural leader, Young is in good hands with Davis at the head.

Antonio Munoz is a fast rising wing that is receiving high-major interest. Already holding an Illinois offer, he is 6’6 with eye-popping athleticism. Munoz used his size, length, and athleticism to be effective as a slasher and cause havoc on the defensive end. With already a solid mid range game, he is coming along as a three-point shooter.

Supporting Cast

Returning seniors Marcus Pigram and Daniel Johnson will also have big roles for Whitney Young. Pigram is a 6’3 combo guard that did a little bit of everything for them last year. Johnson is another 6’6 wing that will also be a versatile player for them, providing spacing and size for the Dolphins. 2026 guard Marquis Clark also has a chance to make an impact for Young as a freshman.
