Durham Steady At Elite 100

By Hoopnallovadaworld on Jun 19, 15

 

Last week in St. Louis at the Nike Elite 100 Camp, Courtcred got a chance to witness a ton of promising 2017 players. Many of those players will be finding their way onto multiple Top 100 ranking lists, and those that don't will still have a handful of Division I suitors on their trail. In a camp setting sometimes its tough to peg what a player can really do when everyone is hogging the ball, hoisting up bad shots, and trying their best to prove the naysayers wrong as to what they can't do. 6'4 Aljami Durham's game can be described as the opposite of what was stated in the previous line.

Durham, a combo guard out of Berkmar High School in Georgia put in a really steady, some would even say surprising week of camp. To those who have watched him closely this year his play isn't surprising at all. Durham lead Berkmar High in scoring this season at around 17 points per game. His scoring then translated to a much more competitive field as he averaged around 13 points per throughout this years Nike EYBL league playing for the Southern Stampede.

During last weeks camp, Durham seemed to get better and more comfortable as camp went on. The lefty hurt opposing defenses that left him open on the perimeter. As each shot went in you could sense the rising juniors confidence building up. When he slid over to the point position he was able to make the right plays off the bounce, and do simple things like feed the post correctly or perform the right defensive rotations. I think a big component of his game that is over looked is Durham's toughness. Originally from New York Durham might not have that tough look, but you will definitely not bully him. As of this Monday college coaches began putting calls in to recruits and Durham's phone continues to buzz. Durham's been contacted by Indiana, Miami, Memphis, UGA, USF, and Va. Tech. The July recruiting period is on the way, Courtcred will surely be monitoring Durham's progress.

oh boy...hopefully a sleeper

[Prilla the Thrilla 158]

How many spots will we have for 2017 now especially since we are in good shape with some blue-chip in state players??

[Hovadipo 54,834]

I'll start doing some digging later as more info trickles out. Nice find FortWayne.

@insidethehall: Durham played really well in July at Victor Oladipo's camp. Seems to be a player on the rise. He's a left handed guard with size. #iubb

A commit... This should lower the anxiety of some locals lol.

[Hovadipo 54,834]

@aldurham01: I will be Attending Indiana University ️

I'm confused. I thought we were stacked with guards and wanted to add Scruggs in 2017......

 

Either way... Congrats kid and welcome aboard. Not gonna dog a young man who is that excited to wear the stripes.

Well he will take Hartmans Scholarship, but really think that should have been given to a Big man.  Now if Bryant leaves after 2 years that would leave us room. 

 

I get the pickup to be honest.  Hes on the rise, and can be a role player behind an anticipated lineup of Sophmores/Juniors

Watch the videos...it's true.

That's a good place to start.

Hey, I shuffled some stuff around in your OP to clean this thread up a little bit for visitors. Added videos and other links up there, then moved the article you pasted in the OP down to another one of your posts.

 

Also, electricity is good and necessary. Quickness is also good. This is good.

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,874]

This isn't your mommy and daddy's Indiana anymore.  Shocking to say the least. 

[Hurryin' Hoosiers 1,951]

think we jumped the gun..OP says he doesn't commit til tomorrow :)
