MONTH OF NOVEMBER
MY CURRENT TOP COLLEGE PROSPECTS
Man I love the beginning of the year but I also hate it because these lists are bound to be wrong because there isn’t a whole lot of on court film to go on. One thing that I do feel confident about is that Jeremiah Lawson is going to be the number one pick next year. Although he hasn’t admitted it an unnamed source told me “If Lawson stays, I’ll give you every cent in my bank account. I’m that sure that he is headed to the League”. In only 5 games, the young man is already averaging 25 points a game. An 18 year old that can literally hit it from anywhere on the court… yeah, I’ll take that. My two big men are number 2 and 3 but that can change. Ellis’ versatility has been so impressive. He had 22 pts, 11 rebs, 4asts, 3 blks and 2 stls the other night and I feel like he is only going to get better. LeAndre Fitzgerald may not be as high on other big boards but I think his improvement on the offensive end is beautiful with an already dominant defensive skill set. If he can continue to improve he might turn himself into a can’t miss prospect. Xavier Fields and Zy Wallace have both been dealing with injuries but I still believe that they are top five guys. I got three of the four five star Kentucky freshmen in my top 15. To be honest, Morgan, Carpenter and McAlister have all looked good but not great but we have to remember that they are 18 year old kids and all three have potential that is hard to deny. Romantay Bell is still looking dominant out at USC. Keep an eye out for all three of the PGs at the bottom of the list (Clark, Kacour, Avaloy).
1) SG Jeremiah Lawson/ Georgia Tech/ Freshman/ 6’7” 199/
2) C LeAndre Fitzgerald/ Cincinnati/ Sophomore/ 6’11” 258
3) C Juwan Ellis/ SMU/ Sophomore/ 7’1” 249
4) PG Xavier Fields/ Kansas State/ Sophomore/ 6’2” 181
5) SF Derek Ambrosius/ Florida/ Freshman/ 6’9” 229
6) PF Zy Wallace/ San Diego State/ Sophomore/ 6’10” 237
7) SF Isaiah Morgan/ Kentucky/ Freshman/ 6’9” 222
8) C Romantay Bell/ USC/ Senior/ 7’2” 277
9) C Tacari Carpenter/ Kentucky/ Freshman/ 7’0” 292
10) PG Sean Matthews/ Oregon/ Sophomore/ 6’7” 209
11) SG Treshawn McAlister/ Kentucky/ Freshman/ 6’7” 211
12) SG DeMarco Graham/ Kansas/ Freshman/ 6’7” 203
13) PG Jamal Clark/ Wake Forest/ Junior/ 6’4” 213
14) PG Ade Kacour/ North Carolina/ Freshman/ 6’3” 187
15) PG Cameron Avaloy/ Purdue/ Senior/ 6’0” 173
INTERNATIONAL REPORT
These two 18 year old kids at the top of the list are something special in my opinion. For what it is worth, I can tell you that both of them are top five type talents. Dominique du Gast is a player that hit the scene as a 17 year old and really became the talk of International B-ball circles. He is not only extremely smart academically but he plays the same way. He isn’t the most athletic but his ability to find the open man and make the smart play is unmatched. He is also an extremely capable passer that can thread small spaces. If he leaves this year he could be a top five guy but he has already stated that it is “unlikely” that he comes over this soon. More than likely next year is when we can expect him. Sava Cavoski is a different story. He seems to be familiar with American culture and appears eager to come over and become a star. For what it is worth, he definitely has the skill to do so. He is a classic back to the basket big man that is surprisingly strong and physical for such a young man but also plays with a finesse that many big men just don’t have. Between the two du Gast is more NBA ready but Cavoski has the tools to be a ALL NBA 1st Team type guy. Also keep an eye out for Greek point forward Nikos Karvelas who at 6’10” 209 isn’t as athletic as you may think but can damn sure put on a show.
1) PG Dominique Du Gast/ France/ 18 Years Old/ 6’3” 196
2) PF Sava Cavoski/ Serbia/ 18 Years Old/ 6’9” 251
3) PF Vincent Dobrovsky/ Czech Republic/ 19 Years Old/ 6’10” 221
4) SF Nikos Karvelas / Greece/ 18 Years Old/ 6’10” 209
5) SG Vinnie Falcone/ Italy/ 18 Years Old/ 6’7” 173
6) C Anton Vencalek/ Spain/ 19 Years Old/ 6’10” 278
7) G Jose Zambrano/ Spain/ 19 Years Old/ 6’4” 178
8) F Gatis Galante/ Latvia/ 19 Years Old/ 6’10” 251
9) C Bernard Joubert/ France/ 19 Years Old/ 7’0” 244/
10) F Marco Modena/ Italy/ 18 Years Old/ 6’8” 218
HIGH SCHOOL REPORT
The big men are the talk of the town for this year’s recruiting class. At the top of the list I have Armanti Elliot who ended his junior campaign with some Sportscenter top 10 type games. He is 6’11” but is versatile and able to maneuver around the rim like a guard. He also really improved his jumper last year so he is an absolute nightmare for defenders and I suspect nothing will change this year. P.J. Curtis isn’t a highlight monster so many people may not know much about him but even though his game isn’t “sexy” doesn’t mean he isn’t valuable. He is a superb low post defender and rebounder that any college would love to have (and I suspect NBA teams as well). Anthony Privott is a guy that can play both forward positions extremely well with the ability to play with his back to the basket but also handle the rock and get to the bucket from outside the paint. He has already committed to Connecticut. Although Ramirez is ranked number four as an overall prospect, I think he is the most exciting to watch. He is 7’2” but he really thinks he is a guard. He is lightning fast but what makes him even more exciting is his ability to pass the rock. He has had many spectacular no look passes throughout his high school career and I’m sure there is more to come. Keep an eye out on Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky who have an opportunity to nab multiple top 10 recruits going into next year.
1) C Armanti Elliot/ 6’11” 243/ Considering Michigan, Michigan State, Vanderbilt
2) C P.J. Curtis/ 6’11 257/ Considering North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky
3) F Anthony Privott/ 6’9” 249/ Verbally Committed to Connecticut
4) C Kordell Ramirez/ 7’2” 240/ Considering Kansas, Arizona, California
5) G Hakeem Jennings/ 6’8” 206/ Considering Syracuse, Massachusetts, North Carolina
6) F Kyle Silinski/ 6’10” 222/ Considering Kentucky, Duke. Syracuse
7) F Terez Downing/ 6’8” 261/ Considering Oregon, Oregon State, Kentucky
8) F Joshua Diggs/ 6’9” 235/ Considering North Carolina, Depaul, Wake Forest
9) F Justice Gentry/ 6’10” 254/ Considering Purdue, Kansas State, Kansas
10) G Jarvis Hart/ 6’2” 169/ Considering Florida, Gonzaga and UCLA
MISCELLANEOUS
- Georgia Tech freshman SF Emmanuel Jackson says that he “guarantees” that teammate and number one prospect G Jeremiah Lawson will lead the nation in scoring at the end of the year. Lawson, who has known to be “silently cocky”, refuses to comment on his teammates guarantee but says that he is happy that the team has faith in him.
- San Diego State junior forward and top ten prospect Zy Wallace has continued to struggle to return from his back injury playing only 18 to 19 minutes a game. In that limited time however, he has been productive although he stated that he will need at least a few more weeks before he is back at 100 percent.
- Purdue senior PG Cameron Avaloy has looked visibly frustrated with the new team that they are putting on the court this year. With C Jamal Garris being the only other senior on the team getting any meaningful playing time, Avaloy’s stats have looked good but the team has struggled. Although they are 5 and 0, they beat terrible Quinnipiac by only one point and Presbyterian by only 2. Avaloy is confident when asked about the team but people close to him say that he is a bit regretful that he didn’t declare last year with Cheyenne Berry and Quinn Jenkins.
- Kentucky sophomore guard Anthony Dumias says that the four freshman that make up the rest of the starting lineup are “something special” and feels that can really make some noise this year. Dumias went on to say “there is no way that those guys are coming back next year so it’s now or never”.
- Kansas State sophomore guard and top ten prospect Xavier Fields went down with an ankle injury and will miss “at least a month”. Fields refused to talk about the injury and those close to him say that he is taking the injury “very hard”.
- Virginia freshman F O.J. Paxon is screwing up on campus already. Although he is putting up great numbers on the court 21.2ppg, 10.9rpg in his first month, he will reportedly be suspended for a game for having a second outburst in class. According to an unnamed student, Paxon received a failing grade on a test and proceeded to get up, rip the test up and say “f*** school… I’ma be in the league next year anyway”. The Virginia AD has stated that this type of behavior will not be tolerated and that players will be punished for failing to take school seriously.
- Milwaukee junior F Austin Freeman has continued to turn heads for the past two years and has started the season with three 30 plus point games this month. Scouts are talking and Freeman is beginning to look like a legit NBA first round prospect.
- USC Senior center Romantay Bell is reportedly not happy with a member of the USC coaching who stated “Bell could be a number one pick type guy if he worked a little harder. He has still been great for us but he could have been even better than that”.
