Jose “Coco” Jarin knows the game of football. More importantly, Coco Jarin knows the game of life. As a coach with over 25 years of experience, Jarin has worked with the likes of former NFL player and Stanford Defensive Coordinator Dave Tipton, Sweetwater High School coaching legend Gene Alim, Mt. San Antonio College coaching guru Bill Fisk, who starred at USC, former Oregon Ducks star and Pasadena City College Head Coach Kenny Lawler, and the list goes on.

If you haven't heard of Tyrone Outlaw yet, I'm sure it won't be long before you do. Outlaw is from rural North Carolina and before this year not many people knew of this kid. Hidden from the big named players and schools that Raleigh, NC has to offer, Tyrone Outlaw has flown under the radar. Nowadays, Outlaw's name is now on almost every recruiting blog.

The LA Watts Summer Games have a long and storied tradition dating back to 1968. The birth of the Games is one of the most positive outcomes of the Watts riots of 1965. The LA Watts Summer Games provide local athletes an invaluable forum to showcase their talents and reach their potential. Their objective is clear. To build bridges of understanding through respect, fair play and integrity.

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!

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.

Bishop Gorman Senior Shabazz Muhammad has been on every NCAA basketball recruiting board this year. The #1 player in high school basketball for the class of 2012, Muhammad has showcased day in day out why he is number one.

With a 6'6" frame and weighing in at 215, Muhammad is not only ready for college ball with his skill set, but his body is physically ready as well. He possesses range with a very consistent jump-shot and is a very good rebounder and natural scorer. Opponents shouldn't sleep on his strength and
athleticism.

The UCLA Bruins hit a grand slam Monday when Miller Grove (GA) big man Tony Parker announced that Westwood would be his college destination.

With prized recruits Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams already on board, the Bruins head into 2012 with national title aspirations. Parker chose the Bruins over home state Georgia, Duke, Kansas, Ohio State and Memphis.

The addition of Parker provides UCLA with a beast in the paint that can score and rebound. At 6-9 280, Parker should bolster the Bruin frontline that returns Joshua Smith, Travis Wear and David Wear.
