Top 10ish kid. Nice initial list

Won't be a surprise if he doesn't leave Bloomington with an offer.

In the video, it appears the kid plays with some emotion and swagger.  I like that.

Eric Bossi's recap of the USA Basketball minicamp.

Jalen Montonati, SF, No. 11- There were some times where the 6-foot-7 wing from Oklahoma had some troubles finding driving lanes and getting better creating space for his shot will be a focus moving forward. But and this is a big but, he remains one of the truly elite shooters in the class and has a gorgeous jumper with deep range that he can get off in a hurry. That jumper is why he's a priority for Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to keep home while others like Indiana, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas and many more are giving chase.

I'd like to see the staff stay on this one. He's gonna be more than just a catch and shoot guy. The athleticism looks like its gonna come and there's some pre-Montverde McNeeley to him.

Seems noteworthy.

AAU action last night Montonati playing for 16U MoKan Elite (EYBL) pumped in 25 pts. in 27 minutes.
