Edgecombe has done the full Tracy McGrady. Gone from a stone nobody to probably the #1 kid in the class.

Yep, and that’s why he skyrocketed up the list for me for a while. Watching his success game after game has made it obvious.  He were fairly early on him relatively.

If you didn't oversleep you could get some mighty fine seating at the Sportradar event in Vegas.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,255]

Misc. from yesterday and in no way all-inclusive.  Multiple events and we watched a number of IU offers plus players of interest.  This is just a few comments I saw.  More games being played today with coaching staffs present.

Woody watched both of Derik Queen's games yesterday.  Coach Ya watched Asa Newell in Council Bluffs, IA.

Indiana Elite 16U turned a 26-25 halftime into a 64-40 win over AllBall. Dez Briscoe was outstanding in 2nd half, Malachi Moreno outplayed a 7-footer, contributions from Braylon Mullins and more.  We had a presence at this game.

Kiyan Anthony with a 24p, 6r game with us watching.

We watched Koa Peat and Khani Rooths - apparently there may be new life to Rooths recruitment. 

Jalan Haralson teamed up with Darryn Peterson for this weekend.

Today (Monday) at 5:00 ET on ESPN2 there will be an AAU telecast and another game at 7:30 ET on ESPN.  Don't know what teams are playing at which time but some of the players include:  Cameron Boozer, Darryn Peterson, Brayden Burries, Tyran Stokes, Aiden Sherrell, Jalen Reece, Derik Queen, Karter Knox, and others expected.  And FWIW, over the weekend, Jalen Haralson played on the same team with Darryn Peterson.

Here's tonight's game schedule.  Note tipoff times are PST.

Queen is king of the court vs Florida Rebels.  

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,255]

If you didn't catch Derik Queen's game on ESPN2, he finished with 21p; 13r and 9a.  And a teammate's missed layup cost him his 10th assist.

Kiyan Anthony had a nice game for SVG in a loss to the Boozer twins. Plays under control. Exceptional stop/start quickness. Great looking stroke with deep range. Athleticism is coming. But, man, his frame. He’s got a long way to go physically and I don’t think it’s a given that happens. 

[Demo 24,686]

This ruined my day. Saw a lot of terrific players there. Was ahead of its time.

NCAA Academy currently underway in Memphis.  Walsh and Hulls in attendance.  Lot of IU targets participating.
