Watch 7-5 High School Player Rampage
Words. Patrick Cassidy
Uh-oh. 7-5 California high school center Mamadou Ndiaye is not only the tallest player in high school basketball (we assume), but he can also actually sort of play. That’s a frightening prospect, considering most young guys this size can barely walk, let alone play ball.
Check out these highlights of Mamadou getting 30 in a recent game for Brethren Christian High School. No, he’s not Ralph Sampson, but he’s still pretty frightening for the high school level: MORE >

Sick Future Florida Gator Kasey Hill Mixtape
Words. Patrick Cassidy
The Florida Gators have a good one coming into the mix in 6-0 Class of 2013 point guard Kasey Hill (Montverde Academy, Fla.). Lanky, smooth, and a killer when he’s in Attack Mode, he’ll be the next in a long line of Gator guards who make life absolutely miserable for opponents.
Check out this mixtape we just found of Kasey murdering competition in Florida’s high school ranks over the last few weeks alone: MORE >

Derek Willis to Announce Today; Kentucky May Be Choice
Words. Patrick Cassidy
Bullitt East High School (Mt. Washington, Ky.) star Derek Willis is living out one of those classic “breakout” tales – and it’s a journey that will culminate this afternoon when he announces his college decision.
The 6-9 power forward has been on college radars since early on, committing to Purdue when he was just 15 years old. Since then though, his stock has skyrocketed, and after a tremendous AAU circuit, he de-committed from Purdue and instantly became a top target of Kentucky, Indiana and Louisville, along with the Boilermakers.
This afternoon he’s announcing his choice – but where will he land? MORE >

Duke Is Now After Philly’s Amile Jefferson
Words. Patrick Cassidy
For a college coaching staff that has been putting in serious time (many times years of pursuit) on a local recruit, pretty much the absolute worst news that they can ever receive is that Duke is suddenly interested in that same player. Coach K and Co. are among the handful of programs that can usually afford to sit back while other school spend time and resources recruiting players and then swoop in to take who they want down the stretch. And that may be the case with Philly star forward Amile Jefferson (Friends Central).
Alex Schwartz of NBE is reporting that Duke is now in hot pursuit of one of 2012′s top unsigned players. MORE >
