2014 July Evaluation Period

[ccgeneral 38,084]

I believe we had a thread on this kid on one of the other boards a while back for those that have been around a bit.

 

Alex Bozich @insidethehall 

Getting a look at 2016 Medina (Ohio) big man Jon Teske. Part of a loaded class in that state. Already has Michigan and OSU offers.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Not a bad game. We have been checking this kid out a bit lately.

IU is in a solid position with Teske but probably not as solid as the above mentioned.

I really have layed off of the '16 class for now. You'll only see me post certain things in their threads. I think that's just to far ahead for our current status. 

 

Someone in Egypt knows about Leaf. lol.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

My boy at it again!

 

Justin Albers ‏@Justin_Albers

Kyle Guy playing great again out here in Vegas. Has 17 points on 7-9 FG already early in second half. The kid can flat play. #iubb

Looks like the ADIDAS Super 64. Ran across it on my guide looking for stuff to record while on vacation.

Thanks for the info. Some of these games start @ 4pm ET on Sunday on ESPNU and last all day or they are showing replays according to the guide. I'll have to look into this when I get a chance later.

 

EDIT: Here's a link to that for now with teams/schedules.

Bump. An early reminder since I haven't looked into this to much. Usually anything on TV I'll start a separate thread.

 

Also, an early heads up for Aug. 4th - Adidas Nations is on ESPNU. Set the DVR.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Doesn't appear to be much going on tonight.

 

Jeff Borzello ‏@jeffborzello 

Fun fact: Thon Maker's "younger brother," 2017 prospect Matur Maker, is older than Thon according to the roster book.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Looks like another new name...seen it mentioned a few times the past few days.

 

Eric Bossi ‏@ebosshoops  

Vanderbilt, Oregon State and Boise State all have head coaches watching Dean Wade. Indiana also here now in addition to those on last tweet

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Looks like we scouted '16 SF Seth Towns a page or 2 back.

2014 ADIDAS SUPER 64 - DAY 1 RECAP

 

http://ny2lasports.com/article_one.aspx?articleid=2287

 

Braxton Blackwell – 2016 – F – Atlanta Celtics Blackwell is a mismatch waiting to happen. There aren’t many players that can match up with the 6-foot-8 forward, especially in transition. The touted sophomore loves to handle and push the ball up the floor and anyway standing his way could end up a poster. Blackwell had a strong second half to bring the Celtics back into the game and make it relatively close. He finished with a game-high 17 points for the Celtics in a loss.  

 

Thon Maker – 2016 – F/C – Team Loaded VA After winning 17U MVP honors at the NY2LA Sports Summer Jam, Maker took his talents to Las Vegas and cashed in on another strong performance. It’s just not fair for any defender to have to guard a seven-footer with Maker’s skillset. The touted sophomore forward did a little bit of everything to help Team Loaded knock off Stackhouse Elite opening night. Maker scored 16 points, showing a fluid three-point shooting stroke and strong ability to penetrate off the dribble. As always, he was a force inside the paint, grabbing nine rebounds and blocking four shots.

2014 ADIDAS SUPER 64 - DAY 2 RECAP

 

http://www.ny2lasports.com/article_one.aspx?articleid=2289

 

Carlton Bragg – 2015 – PF – Ohio Basketball Club Bragg is going to make some college program very happy, wherever it may be. The five-star forward scored 31 points and added 15 rebounds in a loss to New York Rens Thursday afternoon. Bragg is such a difficult matchup for any defender, especially when he’s connecting on his three-point shots. Also a physical and intimidating post presence, when Bragg can get the most out of his talents, he’s easily one of the nation’s best players.  De’Ron

 

Davis – 2016 – PF – Colorado Hawks Davis was dominant in a loss to Team Fast Thursday morning. The touted sophomore seemed to score at will at times, shooting 9-13 from the field en route to a game-high 25 points. Davis also controlled the paint on the defensive end, grabbing nine rebounds. Davis displayed a high motor all game long. He’s worked hard on his body over the past year. He’s much leaner and more athletic, which has helped elevate his game.

 

Thon Maker – 2016 – F/C – Team Loaded VA When Thon Maker is at his best, it’s a long game for the opposition. Maker came close to that on Thursday in a win over Mass Rivals. The blue chip sophomore scored a game-high 26 points and added 14 rebounds. The seven-footer continues to display one of the deepest, if not the deepest skillset in the country. Maker knocked down a couple of triples and was able to dribble penetrate to the basket.  

 

Rawle Alkins – 2016 – SG – NY Rens Alkins certainly lived up to the hype and made a couple of big plays late to secure a win against Ohio Basketball Club. Alkins scored 17 points, but helped out in so many other areas. The sophomore grabbed seven rebounds and dished out five assists as well Thursday morning. Alkins was even seen in the paint, doing some of the dirty work. Late in the game, he took on the challenge of defending Carlton Bragg.

Jerry Meyer @jerrymeyer247  

Thoughts on 1st 2 sessions of USA 17U. Malik Newman, Jayson Tatum, Harry Giles, Caleb Swanigan, De'Aaron Fox & more http://bit.ly/1nqg4Ic 

 

Jayson Tatum, who has taken over the No. 1 spot in the 247Sports rankings, displayed the most complete game of all the participants at the event. The only chink in his armor at this point is his long range jumper which is inconsistent. Other than that, Tatum excels at all phases of the game. Beyond his ball handling, passing, rebounding and midrange scoring, his three off the ball steals during the second practice were eye catchers.

 

Five-stars Caleb Swanigan and Henry Ellenson have been two of the top big men. Swanigan, who has a physique and game that resembles DeJuan Blair, is a dominant rebounder who finishes with touch against length. He is one of those rare big men who doesn't get sped up. Ellenson is the best shooting big man at the tryouts and has played well in all phases of the game.

 

Malik Monk and Dennis Smith are the two most athletic players trying out for the team. 

 

V.J. King impressed with his outside shooting.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,386]

Dean Wade is a 6'8" SF/PF. His HS team was 26-0 this year. Averaged 22 pts, 8 Rebs, 3.7 blocks. Referred to as a true sleeper with legitimate high major skills. Said he needs to prove his low post skills, but has great face up skills out to 17 feet. Described as having good hands and a good passer. From Kansas. May be a good off the radar type. Seems to be all we can get anymore but I think I'll take him over Nick Marshall.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,386]

His 2A state final game is on youtube. Kid really is impressive. Not a back to the basket guy but.... He reminds me of Robbie Hummel but maybe more feisty. He will be a fast riser IMO. Color me surprised.

Those stats may have been from Jr. Year. May have better senior stats even.

Jeff Borzello @jeffborzello
Thon Maker says he's leaning toward staying in class of 2016, and is also undecided on a high school for the fall.

 

as previously reported...

[Bowhunter 2,693]

I would bet we had an excellent shot at Maker in 15, but now that he is staying in the 16 class, I bet he ends up being swooped away by another coaching staff.

^^Watching Boo Williams (Kenny Williams, Chris Clarke, Matt Coleman) vs BABC (Jeremy Miller). Troy is here to.

 

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns 

Boo Williams forward Chris Clarke is so much fun to watch play. Goes hard all the time, makes plays, versatile, defends.
