Nero fought through face guarding in the second half, but continued to stay hot. He had an impressive stretch in the third quarter with a trey, followed by a steal and finish at the rim. Nero did a great job of using dribble penetration to get to the rim.
Elijah Landrum 2017 Point Guard Tulsa Central (SMU signee)
Landrum started hot scoring the first 7 points for Tulsa Central. It was clear from the jump that it was going to be a special game for Landrum. The ability of Landrum off the bounce to get an open look is incredible. He needs just the slightest bit of room in the defense to get his shot off. Landrum was electric throughout the night putting on an absolute show.

Kobe Rose 2017 Shooting Guard Tulsa Memorial (Connors State signee)
Connors State landed a steal in signing Rose. Mark it down in two years as long as Rose continues to work hard he will be a Division I prospect. He is starting to figure out all facets of the game. Rose has turned into a true two way player. The opponents best player is always guarded by Rose, and more times than not shut down or at least slowed down. Rose was great in the passing lanes throughout the night. He delivered a great set of plays in the first half with a bucket, defensive stop, and all-oop on the other end to extend Tulsa Memorial’s lead. Rose shot the three ball well.
Shemar Walker 2018 Point Guard Tulsa Memorial
Walker came out in the first quarter hot hitting shots from distance. He does a great job of feeling out the pace of the game. The handles of Walker allow him to keep his dribble even when in heavy traffic. Walker is one of the better small college

Marvin Lowe 2017 Post Tulsa Central Forward (Connors State signee)
Lowe was outmatched against his man when it came to size in the paint, but he powered through, and had a productive night. He did a good job of boxing out on the glass. Not to mention he scored the ball well in the paint using his quickness and shiftiness to his advantage. Lowe will create miss match problems at the four spot in JUCO ball at Connors State.
