    JOSH SMITH 6-9 UCLA
    i was pretty impressed with him after watching a couple games in Vegas. strong hands and gets up off the floor pretty quick which is a feat because hes so big. Most of it seems to be baby fat which he should lose pretty easily. pretty athletic considering his size ala Robert tractor traylor. hes a pretty good shoot blocker but sometimes loafs around on defense. he will be a first round pick whenever he comes out if he even gets in a lil better shape. Also needs to learn to post harder on the block

    KEALA KING 6’5 PG/SG ARIZONIA ST
    i was very very very impressed with this kid. He has a throw back game kinda like Tyreke Evans but with better court vision. He is pretty athletic and is a very good ball handler who will break your ankles if you get to close. has range out to the three point line as well as a nice mid range game. doesn’t look like hes playing hard when you watch him but that’s just his demeanor. he also has a very good post game. dont be surprised if he puts up James harden type numbers that harden put up as a freshman. Actually his game is alot like his.

    GARY FRANKLIN 6’2 PG CAL
    Reminds me of Sharron collins. he is a pretty good scorer but also has good court vision. he gets after it on defense. he has deep range and isn’t shy about pulling from anywhere on the court. needs to get better at finding his teammates which I’m pretty sure he can do. if not then his draft stock will be low because hes more of a scoring point guard at this point

    RICHARD SOLOMON 6’9 PF/SF CAL
    The key word with this kid is potential. He has ok handles but not enough where you are comfortable putting him at the sf but hes also not a banger. very long and pretty athletic. not very tough and pretty slim doesn’t do anything very well but he does alot thing average. hes still a work in progress

    ALLEN CRABBE 6’6 SG CAL
    shooter/scorer. he knows how to put the ball int he basket and if you leave him open he will make you pay. his handles are ok but needs a lil more work. if you play on him then he loses alot of his effectiveness as a scorer.

    DWIGHT POWELL 6’10 PF/C STANFORD
    IMO has the most pro potential out of anyone in the PAC-10 freshman or other wise. The kid runs like a deer and has underrated bounce. very good face up game and has a non stop motor. good shoot block and can also score on the block. needs to gain more weight though so he can take the banging that goes on down low. he has advanced post skills which isn’t surprising considering he went to IMG academy

    ANTHONY BROWN 6’7 SF/SF/PG STANFORD
    very nice player and is a year younger then the other freshmen. nice handles and shoots the ball pretty well out to the college three. not the most athletic guy but athletic enough to dunk on someone from time to time. nice enough handles to play some pg in spot minutes. high basketball IQ like most Stanford players. Hes pretty good at getting in passing lanes and getting steal with his long arms

    JOSH HUESTIS 6’8 SF/PF/SG
    My favorite player(family) who has Micheal Jordan ability……..ok ill do this with as lil bias as possible:)
    Still learning the sf/sg position but has made great strides. jumps out the gym and has a pretty good mid range game as well as a improving three point shot. at this point he’s a cross between grant hill because of his ability to guard guards and forwards, and Wesley Johnson because of his athletic ability and quick bounce. loves to get at it on defense and is a very good shot blocker. needs to work on his handles and become more selfish( look more for his shot)

    TYLER LAMB 6’4 SG UCLA
    another scorer who can put the ball in the hoop almost at will. good shooter but can also do other things like rebound and pass. haven’t watched a whole lot of his games so i cant say too much about him

    BRYCE JONES 6’5 SF/SG USC
    This kid has bounce. a good defender who plays very hard on defense, sometimes a lil over the top, but that’s a good thing. another player who i haven’t seen much of to give a in depth scouting report

    AHMAD STARKS 5’6 SG
    very quick stocky pg that knows how to get in the lane or shoot it from deep. his height will always be a hindrance as far as how far he will go but his game wont. he can also get up and isnt afraid to try to dunk on a big man. more of a scorer then a passer right now. in the mold of Isiah Thomas from Washington

    yeah Dwight is a baller. he doesn’t really have a glaring weakness other then needing to gain weight. he works real hard and is faster then alot of guards. Canada has been producing ballers lately. i heard there’s a young one out there who has the potential to be the top player in the nation one day

    I heard that Arizona st is gonna let Keala do his thing. He’s really gonna let the nation know who he is

    Quincey these are pretty good reports, but there is a lack of mention about a player’s weaknesses. The only weaknesses mentioned are off the court stuff like conditioning and needing to put on weight. If someone read this and knew nothing about basketball they would think the PAC10 is gonna compete with the NBA in 2 or 3 years.

    i have seen 4 of those guys play personally. The rest i have just read about. I think Terence Ross of Washington needs to be mentioned among in coming freshman as well.

    josh smith, dwight powell and allan crabbe are the 3 who i htink will make the most immediate impact and fight for freshman of the year.

    I watched matre dei high play this year and they had 3 top 100 recruits in tyler lamb(ucla), keala king(asu) and gary franklin(cal) all on the squad. Lamb was probably the best. He attacks the rim hard and plays physical for a sg, kinda reminds me of arron afflalo. King was a very versatile and unselfish player.

    Quincey your weaknesses were barley present. What Iggy is saying is off from your response, for a guy who has never played a college game it is a bit pre-mature to make a comparison like that. You have preached that on this board in many of your posts, and should be open-minded even when it is with family. I am rooting for Josh, but I do believe your bias was kicking in a bit.

    Stanford really does a great job polishing their talented players and are extremely underrated in that sense.Landry Fields, Robin Lopez and Brook lopez just off the top of my head.Powell looks like he is going to be the next Stanford Stud.

    I think the guy you were talking about is Andrew Wiggins.Also Canada could have a Superstar sooner than you think with Corey Joseph, Tristan Thompson, Dwight Powell, Kyle Wiltjer, Myck Kabongo, and Khem Birch.

    People compare him to Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum, Carmelo Anthony..They stretch it to a ridiculous extent but the fact reminds is he will be a top prospect, maybe not Lebron James esque but it sure is looking like his hype will be.

    I like Dwight Powell’s length, and solid mid-range game, he lacks the size to bang inside, needs to put on some weight. Not quite sure where he’ll end up, but definitely has potential.

    Josh Huestis is decent, seems to be much more of a presence on the block, so I don’t quite agree with the Grant Hill comparison, haven’t seen enough of him to judge that though. He has a knack for the ball on the defensive side though, very good hands. Just based off the clips I’ve seen of him, he doesn’t dunk much??? Haven’t seen enough of him to make a judgement, but he can play…

    So since you always start arguments and always are talking to me and then drop subliminal messages when NOBODY else is talking about the same things and I’m always confused, can you please actually say the names of the people you are talking to? Thanks.

    Question. so if a guy who actually recruited grant hill and and a guy who is the god father of basketball compares a kid to a nba player then should that be dismissed?… And of course no one is saying hes as good as grant hill in his prime or even his last year in college, they are talking about grant hill at the same stage. comparisions is also about what the player can potentially be. its different if you compare one kid to a nba star at the stage they are at then. makes more sense if you compare them at the same stage.

    If i say bob is comparable to kobe then i mean kobe at the same stage (as seniors). Maybe i should have explained that when making comparisions

You said something to me about me not watching Reggie Bullock because I called him an “average defender” and you said you read or whatever that he was one of the best in the nation D (which is impossible to determine, there are thousands of HS basketball players and whoever you read that from CAN’T have watched them all). And now you don’t expect me to believe that you are directing something that’s of the same accusation and you want me to believe you weren’t talking to me? I’m not stupid man…

    Quincey I respect your passion, but at when someone says something else you get very defensive where it hinders your view on things. I mean you’re older than a lot of posters here, so really you should be more mature than everyone else, but rather you get into arguments over the littlest things and treat it like a competition when really it’s about expanding upon one’s knowledge.

    the reggie bullock thing of course i was talking to you duhhh youre the one who made the report that hes a average defender.

    so since there are so many player in hs in the nation and its impossible to determine that hes the best at D then doesnt it make it impossible to determine that a player is the best playe rin highschool?

    or the best shooter?
    or the best dunker?

    and go rewatch the mcdonalds all american game where the commentatory says that bullock is one of the best defenders in his class right after he makes a shot.

    So that commentator has seen every player in the nation play right? He’s seen everybody that even going to college play huh? How can he make that judgment. Defense is much different than shooting or passing is. It’s so much of an effort thing, it’s impossible to say a guy is one of the best in the nation at it unless they stack up with EVERY player in the nation to honestly see. There is no stat for D unless you foolishly go by steals and blocks.

    To be honest, I’ve only seen Bullock play 2 times. In an AAU setting and in the Mickey D’s and he played regular defense both times. SO I said he was an average defender. So until further notice, it’s my opinion, vs. your writer persons.

    the commentator is going by the reports from guys who have seen the kid play more then 2 times. you of all people should know you cant make a definate statement like a guy is a average defender from just watching him play 2 games. especially in a allstar game because most of the players play very very little defense. so youre basically going off of one real game when you say hes a average defender and you think thats a good way to scout a player?..if thats fine with you then cool

    And its just as impossible to say someone is the best highschool player in the nation if a person hasnt seen EVERY single player in highschool. The same thing can be said about every skill because you need to see every player in highschool before you can say they are the best. So i guess you are right about that but in being right you also showed that no one knows whos the best player in the nation is, or the best shooter, most athletic, etc

    Just proves my point that iggy and others are bandwagon guys. He can compare harrison barnes to kobe and kyrie to chris paul but when Coach Dawkins and I compare josh to Grant Hill then its absurd. if he was a mcdonalds all american then im willing to bet he would have no problem with it. the worst part about it is he has never seen josh play in actually games. Even though the coach who compared him to grant actually recruited grant and worked with him for four years.

    Neither iggy nor OJJ can even admit it makes sense which explains the comedy act. its like arguing with a person and when they know they are wrong they start getting very angry and starts cursing or name calling

    it makes no sense if you make a bold prediction then realize you were wrong about it and change it. if you know youre not right what sense does it make to stick with youre prediction?..if i say so and so is gonna be the player of the year then realize the player isnt as good as i thought what since does it make to continue to say he’s gonna be the player of the year. thats being stupid. it has nothing to do with fear of being wrong, it has everything to do with being smart enough that you misjudged

    predictions/comparisons arent one sided. a player could end up being as good as one player or as bad as another. it isnt a sure thing there for i dont treat it as such. you, me , everyone on here has said a player could be this good but they could also end up not being that good. we both made a bold prediction that holiday wasnt gonna be that good correct? And we both changed what we first said correct?

    its no different then when i said perry jones COULD be very very good but i dont think he will be.

    many people have said cousins could be very good but they dont think he will because of his attitude

    people have said deandre jordan could be a allstar but they dont think he will because of his work ethic

    That was a picture. You need to copy and paste the video link or embed the code on the side if there is one

    It’s usually on the side, it will say “embed code” and then you copy and paste that and it should show up

    Quincey what is Josh’s wingspan??? In the video his arms look very long. He is listed at 6’8 his arms look close to 7 feet, maybe slightly bigger.

    Not to downplay his abilities, but so many players go in between their legs nowadays, dunks have lost there glamour over the years. Nice to see him dunking, in his youtube vids, he dunked once, I know he can, just wondering why you don’t see it more in games…

    That’s a nice wingspan for a 6’8 player. He definitely needs to improve his range on the 3 if he wants to be a small forward. The position fits him perfectly. He has a very thin frame, but many guys do. He is better off improving the 3 ball than he is gaining weight. His frame can only gain so many pounds. I am excited to watch stanford play next year I think they’ll be middle of the pack with a couple upsets here and there, but a couple disappointing losses to go along with it. 2011-12 will be the real story.

    one reason im so high on him(not just cuz of family) is because he does everything he does while still being raw. in hs all he played was center, same with aau untill this year because he was the tallest on the team. everyone that watched him this summer(college/nba players/euro players,coachs) could all see the potential that he has. Even the head guy at scouts.com said he would have easily been a top 25 player if he played in a big city like ny. ive had other family members who were good but none who has the potential that he has. everything just comes natural to him. He enever played a minute of small forward in hs or aau but after working with a trainer for a couple of weeks he was playing sf and sg at a elite enough level that Coach John thompson 3 started recruiting him more heavily then the top 25 player they were already recruiting, the coach at usc wanted to build his team around him, the Coach ford at OKstate wanted him to replace out james anderson. Everyone who watchs him sees the potential and knows how hard he works and how versitile he is. Now potential is a deadly word but not as deadly when the player is a very hard worker. Is he a one and done?..i dont think so but he has the potential to be a first round pick in year 2/3. thats something every Coach agreed on After seeing him play. Theres always something special about a player that has a bunch of scout recruiters and papers saying he’s the sleeper of the summer and the sleeper of all of the PAC-10 recruits

    yeah he used to have a thin frame but hes 220 now. He’s at stanford working with the team trainers( all the players are there)

    yeah i dont expect much out of stanford this year. middle of the pack would be a great accomplishment. its possible though with green there

    Yeah where one is from is huge in terms of recruiting and what not. I mean what powerhouses are from Montana. Had Josh not played AAU ball he likely would have played at either Montana or Montana State and been a stud there and maybe even an NBA player from there if he truly does have NBA potential. It is all about AAU ball now b/c scouts get to see how players do against the whole country. I bet if Josh never played HS ball and just AAU he would have been alright.

    Garrett Jackson (USC), and Maurice Jones (USC).

    Also Bryce Jones is more than just a high riser. He’s got a lot of similarities to Nick Young/DeMar DeRozan (couple of former USC 2 guards). He’s putting together a more well rounded game, and attacks the basket relentlessly.

    Bryce may very well have the highest upside amongst all the wings in this incoming class in the PAC 10. Was a bit under the radar coming into his senior year, because he was ruled ineligible his junior season due to CIF transfer rules and was forced to play on the JV team at Taft.

    I’ve never seen those two players play so I didn’t write anything about them. I heard they are good though.

    Josh prob would have gone to either gonzaga or Washington st if he didn’t play aau because they have been recruiting him for a couple years

    Played against him numerous times (both played in metro league in Oregon). He’ll be a solid player at USC. Average size at 6,5 for a sf, but has long arms. Good post game and a VERY good jumper. Handles are well below average and his athleticism/quickness is as well.

    Interesting…USC actually over recruited for him over Dwayne Polee Jr. who pledged with USC as a freshman in High School. The highschoolsports.oregonlive.com website had an excellent article that covered the how the two have always crossed paths and now were going to go head to head in the Les Schwab Invitational.

    Can you also tell me if you’ve Jordan Tebutt play? Heard USC is really high on his list.

      Jordan is a 5 star recruit. He is built like a line backer and is a legit 6,5 He is pretty athletic, but I’d said he has an average first step (compared to top prospects of course). Can pretty much play any position at this point, but is better suited as a sf at the college level. Pretty good defensive player and good rebounder. Honestly, I’m not sure about his jumper…If my memory serves me right it is average at best. Needs to grow a inch or two to reach his full potential. Will be an NBA player.

    both played at mater dei and both are STUDS. I think they both have the potential to be lotto picks in 2012 and have nice freshman year. Both of them are freak athletes and i would expect 13 3 and 5 for lamb freshman year and 16 5 and 7 from king. Ive seen the both play a couple times theyre good
