Class of '66 Old Fart

Eric Bossi's comments: Things have really been heating up for four-star point guard Seth Trimble of Phenom U/Team Herro this spring and it is easy to see why. As athletic a point guard as there is in the class of 2022, Trimble is put together, quick and exploits even the slightest of openings in a defense. Lose him for a second and he’s going to dunk on you. Trimble is a pretty good passer on top of that and the potential and ability he shows on the defensive end thanks to his ability to move his feet is nothing to sneeze at. So far, he’s set to hit Marquette on June 2nd for an unofficial visit before seeing Michigan (6/13) and North Carolina (6/16), officially, during June.

Southern JamFest from DuShawn London: An already proven scorer, 6-foot-7, 185 pound Tyrell Ward was one of the standouts of day one. The New World and Dematha Catholic G/F played with the ball in his hands a lot, scoring from all three levels while really locking in on the defensive side of the ball. Ward has long arms which helps him get into the passing lanes and be disruptive. Ward currently has a final eight schools and plans on taking five officials to five of his final eight by August.

Team Final over VA Playmakers 97-82. Williams had 11 pts. and 2 assts. for Team Final. Not sure how or why, but Emoni Bates playing with Team Final this weekend at the Summer JamFest.

NCAA approves July evaluation periods: July 8-11weekends. July 16-18 July 23-25 Presumably this will solidify the EYBL and Adidas circuits scheduling events for these same weekends as UAA has already announced.

Standout 2023 La Lumiere (IN) point guard prospect Jeremy Fears is planning a June visit to Indiana. Additional info is behind the Rivals paywall and I'm not a subscriber. From April 30: Jeremy Fears is currently a 4-star recruit and ranked No. 23 nationally by 247Sports. That service lists him as the No. 7 point guard in the class. Even though he's a '23, he's playing 'up' with the Bradley Beal AAU team on the EYBL circuit so hopefully when the EYBL circuit starts we'll be able to get some good stats on him. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-class-of-2023-names-to-know-point-guard-jeremy-fears/?fbclid=IwAR3Gj35fLmDmEG52S0zWeNhWqAl6PDWMZ6WHJxahGh8LSXRoYTLfy6WSw8A From April 29: Travis Branham of 247Sports on PG Jeremy Fears - Fears hasn't spent much time talking to college coaches given he is a 2023 prospect but his father told 247Sports that Indiana is highly interest and is also receiving interest from Auburn, Michigan, Florida State and UCLA. https://247sports.com/Article/Jeremy-Fears-recruitment-basketball-prospect-2023-Indiana-Auburn-Michigan-Florida-State-UCLA-164798208/

Jason Riley off WDRB -- Former Assistant University of Louisville basketball coach Dino Gaudio has been federally charged with extortion. Gaudio wanted 17 months of salary not to report the violations, according to the charges.

Samad Hines in a piece captioned Which Prospects Have Had a Stock Rising Spring Season -- The 6-foot-9 forward Noah Clowney, out of South Carolina powerhouse Dorman High School, did not come in with much national attention this spring but has earned his recognition with his consistent play running with Team Dickerson (GA), one of the top independent AAU programs in the nation. Clowney was one of my potential stockrisers coming into this AAU season. At his size, he is a consistent rim runner, holds a nice versatile game, has shown he can connect on perimeter shots, length allows him to alter shots and/or block them, and effective on the glass. Since March, Noah has picked up multiple offers and interest from colleges. Schools like Appalachian State, Providence, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Georgia, and Tennessee have offered.

Samad Hines in a piece captioned Which Prospects Have Had a Stock Rising Spring Season -- Kyle Filipowski did not really have much buzz nationally coming into this grassroots season but has gained and earned so much attention this spring. The 6-foot-10 forward has a pro like game already and will have NBA personnel all over him from now on until the possible 2023 NBA Draft. Already at 6-foot-10, Kyle is an extremely skilled prospect. He holds a natural feel for the game, can handle the ball like a guard, has a very high IQ, highly versatile, rebounds at a high rate, makes his impact on the defensive end blocking or alternating shots, and able to hit perimeter shots as well. Filipowski already has the type of game bigs and/or forwards in the NBA have in today’s game. A stretch four type of forward that can play some three and possibly the five position if a team decides to go small. Miami, Wake Forest, Rutgers, Stanford, Syracuse, Indiana, and others have offered since March.

Jake Weingarten on Filipowski's planned visits. Officials: Syracuse: June 5-6 Ohio State: June 12-13 Indiana: June 15-16 Iowa: June 17-18 Duke: June 28-29 Unofficials: UConn: June 24th Northwestern: June 19th
