Jim Boeheim is currently in Milwaukee for the Under Armour Summer Jam to check out Isaiah Whitehead and Derrick Jones among others. Mike Hopkins is currently in Pennsylvania for the Hoop Group Summer Classic, to check out Kaleb Joseph and Goodluck Okonoboh among others.


   
Derrick Jones blocking everything in sight with Syracuse, UNC, Oregon, Maryland, Temple, Penn St, ND, Miami & more watching.

   
Teki(Montaque Gill-Caesar) is going off for Canada right now. Hitting the deep ball and scoring in transition. Starting to turn into a solid offensive piece

   
Teki going to work again at the midrange and Chris Egi killing it on the glass. Meanwhile Ivan Rabb just threw down a 2 handed 360

   
Derrick Jones looks solid in We R1 victory. Long and athletic forward changes the game w length in both ends

   
Stevie Thompson comes out the box early for Superior Athletes. Two smooth finishes.

   
Stevie Thompson is too nice right now. The 2015 SG is scoring at will

   
Stevie Thompson is straight getting after it right now. Scoring in every way.

  
Montague Caeser-Gill leads all scorers with 15 at the half as Canada trails USA West, 41-35. Stanley Johnson has 10 for West.

   
Have seen Canada's best 2016s past two weeks on Justin Jackson & Jamal Murray. Gotta give a slight edge to Jackson. Body/potential too good

   
Montaque Caesar Gill is absolutely killing it right now. Offensive game has come full circle. Can hit at all 3 levels with full confidence

   
Too early 3 stars of the game for Canada gotta give it to Teki, Zabo, and Egi. Egi could be one of most underrated 2015 guys

   
Gotta give it to Canada's Jamal Murray, his rate of difficulty on some of his makes are absurd!

   
First time I've seen CBCs Paschal Chukwu in person. Strong prospect at 7-1. Great timing defensively. Reminds me of a young Hasheem Thabeet.

   
Kassoum Yakwe and Chancellor Ellis having good game for Team Scan as they are trailing New Heights 21-15 at the half

   
Chris Egi has been a major problem down low for Thomas and Rabb. Upfake has killed USA West and is throwing away attempts on the other end

   
Just astounding to me the work and development Montaque Gill Caeser has gone through especially on his mid range game. Wow !

   
Team Scan 16U's Kassoum Yakwe has been a defensive force in the first half. Swatting shots, making shooters think twice

   
Kassoum Yakwe just flew for that block. 2016 kid is an explosive leaper and future hm player.

   
USA West up 65-58 at half on Canada at end of 3. Jamal Murray making it look easy scoring the ball

   
Montaque Caeser Gill finished with 23 points making 10 of his 16 FG

   
Team Scan 16's wins 53-35 over New Heights 16's led by Chris Atkinson, Kassoum Yawke and Devonte Green

   
Seems that Isaiah Briscoe is slowly developing into that point guard spot capable of making others better. Gotta like upside in 2015

   
2015 Stephen Thompson Jr. and Dillon Reise displayed their all-around skill packages....elite shooters...

   
AM Session standouts:Isaac Copeland,Abdulai Bundu,Larry Dennis,Tyus Battle, Evan Taylor,Tim Rowe,James Palmer,Jordan Cornish..

   
Liked the length and production of 2015 G/F Derrick Jones Jr from We R 1 16U Lefty w/quick bounce, finishes and blocks shots

   
Briscoe has been super productive.Playing great D.Newton hasn't been very aggressive,which is unlike him

   
Chris McCullough has been dominating the glass at and is off the ground so inside.Love potential.

   
USA East up 74-48 at end of 3 at .Chris McCullough continues to dominate in the paint.Its his game

   
Mass Rivals leads Team Frenji 47-40 kaleb Joseph in control of game

   
NE Playaz 17u vs House of Sports Elite(NY) Mustapha Heron running with NE Playaz looking good on the wing

   
Isaiah Briscoe has definitely worked on his distributing skills of late. Always had the vision, now can deliver onto it

   
Chris McCullough and Isaiah Briscoe are playing well as teammates here. Could potentially be teammates at Syracuse, too.

   
Syracuse-bound went for 17 and 6 and had 15 and 9 as USA East routed France, 101-77

   
Isaiah Whitehead is splashing in the threes to open Juice 17U game. Powerful SG showing why he's a coveted prospect

   
Isaiah Whitehead just knocked down a jumper from about 25 feet with ease. Kid is wired to score.

Isaiah Whitehead just drove down the middle of the lane and threw down on some defender. Vicious.

   
2014 PG Isaiah Whitehead with an unbelievable dunk. Took off just in front of the foul line and finished in traffic.

   
Tyus Battle can flat out shoot it.

   
Crazy just how good Tyus Battle is off the bounce. Almost looks uncomfortable taking easy open shots off the catch

   
Okonoboh has been dealing with very minor injuries; yesterday he had his ankle checked out, now trying to stretch his shoulder out

   
Mike Hopkins has followed Kaleb Joseph all tournament. Jim Boeheim now joining him. West Virgina & Providence been here throughout too.

   
Isaiah Whitehead is putting on an absolute show right now. Scoring at will for Juice All-Stars. Had a nasty poster, too

   
2016 Tyus Battle hitting pull up,defending, accepting the challenge as 1 of youngest in camp & showing he's 1 of the best

   
6'9 2014 Goodluck Okonoboh of Mass Rivals (MA) brings all the coaches like Syracuse Jim Boeheim to his games

   
Isaiah Whitehead doing his thing out there...lots of fun to watch when he's on. Plays so hard.

Canada out to big start. Up 10-4 at led by Chris Egi's strong play inside

   
Cuse head coach Jim Boeheim is here for 2014 Mass Rivals duo Kaleb Joseph and Goodluck Okonoboh.

7/17 News and Notes

Open Evaluation Period 17-21 Day One Updates
   
Coaches from Cuse, Georgetown, NC St., & West Virginia all checking out Court 1 for Paschal Chukwu (Fairfield Prep 2014)

   
CBC (CT) beats Team Philly 55-50 led by 7'0 Paschal Chukwu who is a defensive force changes or blocks almost every shot

   
2015 G Montaque Caesar-Gill looks like he's grown to be a legit 6-6. Has all the physical tools to be an elite SG. Coach Cal looking on.

   
Chieck Diallo drives the length of the court and finishes with a slam. Makes things look effortless at time, but still raw inside.

   
7'2"Paschal Chukwu, #65 in '14, said UConn, St. John's, Providence, St. Joe's are all after him & offered. Cuse is interested & watched him

   
Tom Crean, Mark Gottfried, Ed Cooley, Mike Brey, Bob Huggins, Mike Hopkins, & Nate James are here for Goodluck Okonoboh

   
Kaleb Joseph is just so explosive for a point guard. Makes plays all over the floor, hard not to love his game

   
With his team down by three and under 20sec left, Kaleb Joseph makes a nice move to get into the paint, scores, gets fouled, hits FT. Tied.

   
Isaiah Briscoe is a one man wrecking crew heading towards the basket. Fully healthy. Explosive, tough guard learning to play point. Beast.

   
Kaleb Joseph hit a floater at the buzzer and Mass Rivals won by 2 in OT.

   
Kaleb Joseph buzzer beater gives OT win. ESPN 100 PG willed them to win.

   
impressive today in Rivals first win. Doing it all.

   
Isaiah Whitehead. Buckets. Standard.

   
Isaiah Whitehead doing his thing...high-caliber scorer

   
Isaiah Whitehead is impressive...lights out from deep, plays under control. Relentless competitor

   
Maybe the best I've seen 2015 Superior Athletes SG Stephen Thompson, Jr. play. He's hitting 3's, floaters and finishing in transition.

7/14 News and Notes

Open Evaluation Period 10-14 Day Five Updates
   
With 10 mins left Roadrunners beating Team Underrated 38-15 looks like they will be moving into the semi finals. Chris silva playing great

   
Team Final with a 52-45 lead over CP3 at the half; a nice productive half for Malachi Richardson

   
Malachi Richardson turning it on when Team Final needs it … creating and scoring

   
Malachi Richardson had some moments for Team Final but was too streaky from outside. Ja'Quan Newton inside the paint but rarely finished.

   
Gotta say that I love 2015 G Sean Lloyd's game. Kid is big and strong uses his size well when going to the rim

   
Heard from a source close to the situation that Goodluck Okonoboh really likes Syracuse and they could be the favorite over Duke/Indiana.

   
Sean Lloyd (2015/Team Philly/Haverford School) having a good game in front of SJU head coach Phil Martelli; Manhattan, Lafayette, others.

   
Isaiah Whitehead of is calm, cool, and collected as he controls the pace of play with elite P&R game

   
2015 forward Chris Silva is doing work right now. Being a force on the glass and taking kids off the dribble. Big time player

   
Chris Silva with a monster block, HM forward is just oozing with potential.

   
NJ Roadrunners' Chris Silva got up and stuffed a dunk attempt from D13 Elite's Makinde London. Ton of athleticism in this game.

   
Chris Silva is putting together one of the best individual performances we've seen at . He's stepping up on .

   
Chris Silva (2015/Roselle Catholic/NJ Roadrunners) is a beast. Top-level athlete, great motor, improving every day.

   
Joey Wallace (son of John) has been huge for Rap elite

   
Joey Wallace filled it up for Rap Elite- 10pts-4steals-7-boards-5assits. Nice looking prospect.

   
Wallace making impact plays early. Really taking advantage of the opportunity to showcase his abilities.

   
Wallace doing it all again for RAP Elite. Solid 1st half

   
Joey Wallace fouls out but not before really creating waves for himself this weekend.

7/13 News and Notes

Open Evaluation Period 10-14 Day Four Updates
SU is still well represented at the Adidas Invitational for Kaleb Joseph, Jalen Adams, and Goodluck Okonoboh. Red Autry is still at the Peach Jam.


   
Roadrunners forward Chris Silva and Ismael Sanogo are guys who definitely look the part. Solid athletes too.

   
Can be quite the dilemma in putting Mustapha Heron at a specific position, just a straight ballplayer who does whatever is asked of him

   
Have had the opportunity to watch Chris McCullough a lot past year. Making significant progress w/his motor and production. Super skilled.

   
Gotta think Chris McCullough will be on the watch list for a lot of NBA teams. Unique length at his position.

   
Asante Gist with the three ball and-1. Im impressed with the young combo guard

   
Asante Gist with the three from half court right before half. Roadrunners up 40-20

   

Syracuse commit put up 15 & 11 as Team Scan got a big win over Mac Irvin, 63-61. , who recently added an Arizona offer, had 11
 
   
Mass Rivals is a fun group to watch. Goodluck Okonoboh, Kaleb Joseph & Co. are talented but still share the ball.
 
   
High on '15 Mass Rivals guard Jalen Adams. Plays with energy, moves well and understands the game
 
   
Duke, Syracuse, Purdue, Notre Dame, UNLV, VT, Xavier, BC, Providence among those here for Mass Rivals
 
   
2016 PG Assante Gist--in his second year playing U17 ball--has a nice feel for the game. Good frame, can shoot it some. Nice player.
 
   
Media, coaches here buzzing about 2016 NJ Roadrunners PG Asante Gist. Playing up at 17U, showing off his range.

   
Tom Crean, Jim Boeheim both watching Goodluck Okonoboh's first game today at the adidas Invitational.

   
Goodluck Okonoboh is such a shot-blocking threat, a guy just got to the lane baseline, looked at the rim, dribbled on by.

   
Goodluck Okonobh limited to 6 pts as Mass Rivals falls 63-61 to Brookwood Bounce in 17U platinum division at adidas Invitational.

   
Derrick Jones is doing everything here at HG Elite Team Camp. Hitting from deep, off the dribble, terrorizing the rim, and blocking shots.

   
Very odd that there isn't a single high-major coach here to see Isaiah Whitehead

   
Isaiah Whitehead also said he plans to commit before the HS season. Will not trim his list of offers.

  
Isaiah Whitehead says talk to package deal with Ja'Quan Newton are "serious" but it'd have to be the best for each player.

   
Back-to-back dunks for Paschal Chukwu in front of a line of D1 coaches

   
CBC coach tells me Paschal Chukwu will have a better understanding of his recruitment after this month. He and family have kept it quiet.

   
Traci Carter. Tough to stop from getting to the basket off the bounce.

   
Like what I've seen from 2015 SG Donte Divincenzo so far for Team Final Black. Some nice skill at the offensive end.

   
Ja'Quan Newton went off in the first half for Team Final against Houston Hoops. His jumper is cooking & he is in attack mode.

   
Didn't know Malachai Richarson could guard like this. Incredible effort by 2015 kid guarding an animal like Winslow. Final up 6?under 30 sec

   
Paschal Chukwu made very significant strides in last couple months. Looks very good today.

   
Isaiah Whitehead just dropped 25 points in front of St. John's

   
Montaque Gill-Caesar- primary target for several HighMajors. Several more after this week. As expected,broke out averaging 20+ PPG
