CSN Preps Basketball Power Rankings: No. 7 Uplift

Share

School: Uplift

2015-16 record: 19-8, 8-2 in the Public League Red-North

Postseason results: Lost to Orr, 82-73, in Class 2A DePaul Prep Sectional finals

Players to watch: Senior guard Demarius Jacobs is committed to Southern Illinois as he's one of the most talented players in the city and an All-Area candidate. A younger Jacobs, Markese, is committed to Kansas and might have a brighter long-term future. He's at-times electric with the ball in his hands and a big-time playmaker.

Why they're in the Power Rankings: A major threat in Class 2A, Uplift has the Jacobs brothers and a team built to compete for a city and state championship.
