R.E.A.C.H. Recruiting Report

The 16u R.E.A.C.H. Legends AAU team will have some special players, according to Coach Christian Graham. "<strong>Matthew Richmond</strong> has interest from Detroit, Eastern Michigan, and Oakland," said Coach Graham.  He is a 6-foot-1 guard from Detroit Chandler Park. The same three schools, Detroit, EMU, and Oakland are also in the process of evaluating <strong>Ron Hill</strong> (Detroit Pershing). "He will probably be a low major," said Coach Graham. The R.E.A.C.H. 16u squad will also include <strong>Anthony Roberts</strong> (Detroit Western), <strong>Quinn Blair</strong> (Dearborn Divine Child), and <strong>Trayvon Jackson</strong>.  Jackson could be a standout.  He is 6-foot-7 with a Detroit offer. "He visited Michigan," said Coach Graham.  "He visited Michigan State.  He is A-10 or better." Finally, David Hearns (Hazel Park) earned an a St. Peter's offer.  Any D1 offer can serve as a springboard.  Hearns will be another to the Legends' AAU campaign. <h2>DreQuan Bell Recruitment</h2> Playing for R.E.A.C.H. Legends last summer afforded <strong>DreQuan Bell</strong> (Detroit Allen Academy) some nice exposure. The junior is one of the top scorers on a great Allen Academy Wildcat team.  Bell routinely dumps in double-figure scoring. "Oakland (University) has interest," said AAU Coach Christian Graham.  "Eastern (Michigan) is interested.  Xavier interest." For Wildcats of Allen Academy, DreQuan Bell pairs with <strong>Justin Williams</strong> (East Tennessee State signed).  The team featured Jawan Snoddy and also sharing touches is child superstar <strong>Mark "Rocket" Watts</strong>. During his ongoing prep season Bell was evaluated by both Oakland and Eastern Michigan.  His ability to score against elite teams will make him a hot commodity during AAU season.  Playing with Watts is inadvertently teaching him to accept a role within an offense. "He is having a good season," said AAU Coach Graham.  "He is a big guard with speed.  More schools are going to figure him out this spring with R.E.A.C.H.  We are playing on the NY2LA." "AAU teammate <strong>Jamal Keese</strong> is a DII guy," said Coach Graham.  "<strong>Liam Soragham</strong> (Dearborn Divine Child) has a Northern Indiana offer." Keese plays high school with DEPSA.
