Though it’s hard to tell how a barely-twelve year old basketball player is going to pan out, all signs point to 7th grader Erick Locke becoming one of the next great basketball players in the state of Illinois. This “future phenom” led the 7th grade team at Oak Park- Brooks Middle school to a conference championship last year as a 6th grader, averaging 15 points per game. Locke is set to be the star for Brook’s 8th grade team this year, as he is hot off of a stellar fall playing in the Freshman/Sophomore division of the Full Package/ Illinoishsbasketball.com Fall league. Locke had a very good spring and summer on the AAU circuit with the Chicago Demons. The 5-8 scoring guard led the undersized Demons team to a 2nd place finish at the AAU state tournament this year, as well as a number of other top finishes at various other tournaments throughout the mid-west. Locke is not as hyped as fellow class of 2013 stars such as Jabari Parker and Alex Foster, but Locke has quietly built an impressive resume: especially for a kid that just turned 12 years old. Locke has already earned top honors at various camps and showcases, as he was named the co-MVP of the 2005 NY2LA Generation Next camp, he won the MVP of the 2006 “Main Event” Championship game, he was the All-Star MVP and the Playoff MVP of the 2007 Five Star camp, as well as being named an all star and ranked as the #2 7th grader at the 2007 Illinois Jr. Superstars showcase, being ranked only behind 6-6 Alex Foster, the #1 forward in the nation for the class 2013. Locke is 5-8, 135 pounds, and wears a size 12.5 shoe. He can play either guard slot and is a natural scorer with great basketball instincts. He handles the ball well with both hands, and can finish with both hands as well. Locke is also a terrific student, as he boasts a 3.5 GPA. Locke is definitely a prospect to watch in the loaded class of 2013!
