The high school elite open run brought crazy competition! Kids were going at each other harder than ever. I’m not sure if it was because we had the cameras on hand (which we always do) or if players had something to prove. After a small dunk session and the facility director coming out to tell the players to go hard or go home, the players never looked back from that point.

With the recent firing of Virginia Tech Head Coach Seth Greenburg, you wonder if basketball commit Montrezl Harrell will stay a Hokie. This 6'7" forward is a man amongst boys. No matter who the competition is, Harrell is always one of the best players on the floor.

He gives it his all everyday and no matter what college roster he ends up playing on next year, you can expect big things. With his never-give-up attitude he could start on any high-profile D1 roster as a freshman. Montrezl Harrell. Remember the name!

Head Coach Mike Grossner gave Dillon Baxter another chance on Sunday, and Baxter once again showed resolve to keep his dreams of someday playing in the NFL alive.

As a former USC Trojan and one-time San Diego State student-athlete, Baxter looks to pick himself up alongside his new teammates and coach at NAIA Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas. Coach Grossner anticipates the former California high school touchdown record holder to contribute to the offense in a number of ways, similar to the many different positions Baxter played while he starred at Mission Bay.

I have been watching Devonte Graham since he first stepped onto the court as a freshman at Broughton High School out of Raleigh, NC (Same school that produced "Pistol" Pete Maravich & Shavlik Randolph). This kid continues to move up the recruiting boards as his game improves.

One of the most underrated guards in the class of 2013 in North Carolina better yet the East Coast, Graham has always been fast with the ball and displayed excellent court vision. With the addition of the jump-shot that he has added to his game, expect to hear about Graham in the near future.
