Diouf displayed why he recently picked up an offer from Washington St., and why UNLV, UCSB, Nevada, Xavier, Cal, and Arizona St. offered Diouf. One of the most versatile players by far this weekend. Have the tools to score on the three levels of scoring, and guard both levels on defense. Causes mismatch problems for teams with his size and agility. Physical when he is on the block. Let his game do the talking
This must have past beef with the rim throwing down some strong dunks. Robinson is a slasher that looks to body hunt at the rim. Looking at his physique you can see why he punishes the rim. Holding offers from Yale, George Mason, Mercer, Appalachian State, FAMU, Jacksonville University, Ohio, and USF. Showed his ability to defend at the perimeter. Great transition player that can get to the rim quickly. Crashed boards hard on both ends. Also have great timing on his cuts.
STOP THE CAP AND GIVE THIS MAN HIS NATIONAL RANKING. He is just flat-out special. His will to win is unmatched. He can handle pressure situations better than most seniors. Fleming can change his pace on the dime. Great finisher with contact, and crafty in the air. Doesn’t look to settle for long-range threes with how well he can shoot; take what the defense gives him.
This young man improvement have made him a certified PLAYER even more than what he already is. Miller at 6’10 can handle the rock, dish the rock, shoot the outside jumper, score inside, and defend anywhere on the court. With him at the perimeter that opens up the middle for the offense to exploit the defense. The big drove the lane and found his shooter. Pasadena have something in this one.

Thomas made sure Texas put some respect on his name this weekend with his performance. Committing to UNLV on Mother’s Day, Thomas Jr, he left leading his team to an undefeated weekend. Great decision-maker with the ball in his hands. Keep a change of pace in his dribble keeping defenders off balance. Shot-maker that can find the open man. He plays to win the game with a dawg mentality. An athletic point guard that is exciting to watch.
Young showed his downhill scoring capability. Attacking angles towards the rim playing physical bumping defenders for easy layups. With his size most of the defenders at this age could be too slow for him; he take advantage of that with his quick first-step.

The first characteristic you notice is his length. Likes to get to his spot for easy floaters or pull up. Plays the game going north and south with his dribbles. Good decision maker in the middle of the paint. Use his length to score over defenders.
Pipkin showcased why he is nationally ranked by ESPN. Great pick-n-roll ball handler that can make decisions, and create unique ways to score. Excellent passer with the vision to go along steadily finding the opener shooter or the cutting man. Strong player you can tell by how big his shoulders are. That helps when he drives through the shoulder of defenders trying to knock him off his angle to the rim.
