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 NCAA football recruiting trail is heating up. Several top juniors and upcoming seniors are beginning to get a feel for exactly which Division I colleges are interested in their services. Standing 6'6" and tipping the scales at 340 pounds, it's no mystery that Emerald Faletuipapai has the size to play at the next level. The great thing about Big Em' is that he doesn't solely rely on his size and is eager to improve. "The first week of spring football went by great. I'm looking forward to the upcoming practices as the week progresses," Emerald told CLA.

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.

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.

For every high-profile Nerlens Noel that hits the barbershop, etches a crisp school logo in the back of a high-top fade and takes his talents to college via ESPN, countless pairs of wishful eyes are glued to the television with the hopes of swapping places with one of America's top prep recruits. The underdogs.
