July, a month for fireworks, vacations and sandcastles…well for most normal people, not so for college basketball coaches. This is an opportunity to build a new program with that fresh dry-fit polo and pressed pants, and for others it's a race to the finish and possibly a last chance to freeze there job security.
Ohio 2009:
Two names that are the hottest on the recruiting circuit for July 5'10 PG Carl Jones of OBC/Garfield Heights, Carl is a wizard with the ball in his hands and is one if the best shooters/scorers in the class of 2009.Carl will be at Lebron’s US skill Academy, Eddie Ford's Hoopfest and Adidas Super 64. 6'8 4 Drew McGhee of CBIZ/North Ridgeville is gaining interest from Big East, ACC and Big Ten schools. Drew shows signs of being a legit MM+ big with his ability to step out and shoot the 12 footer and also display a sound back to the basket skill set. If Drew goes high-major, look for him to be a program role player. I would also not be surprised if Miami-Ohio or Butler pushes for Drew. Reggie Keeley 6’7 5/4 out of Cleveland Heights/D1 Greyhounds is another prospect that is wide open considering the coaching changes in the MAC. Keeley is very effective with his back to the basket, but tends to over handle when facing up.
Keep a close eye out on Robert Johnson 6'6 3/2 from Bedford/King James. Robert has all of the tools to possibly explode in July or fall into a coma status for the fall. Robert has the potential to go MM+. Randall Holt 5’11 2/1 also of Bedford/All-Ohio red is another prospect that has one last summer to show his skills on the road. Randall plays the point for all-Ohio, but is better suited as a scoring wing. If you want an athlete take a look at 6'3 Andre Paulk from Kent Roosevelt. Andre runs with All-Ohio red and could be the most athletic wing prospect in 2009.Paulk is very raw, but a You Tube Highlight reel! Danny McElroy 6'6 is back on the board after his de-commit from Cincinnati, look for Danny to be heavily stalked by Miami-Ohio and other mid-majors. Orlando Williams 6'3 of Cincinnati Princeton is gaining interest as well from the Redhawks and rumor is James Madison is coming on also. How could we also not talk about Jon Smith of Grove City, Jon plays with King James and is extremely explosive for a high energy guy. A-10s are flirting with Jon and gaining pipeline interest by James Madison, St. Joes, St. Louis and Kent state just to name a few. Jon is more less a tweener.
Mario Hines a 6'8 4 from Garfield Heights is also a prospect to watch for the July period. Mario is gaining interest from most mids and Kent State could be a leader. Mario is a lefty with the ability to beat bigs off the dribble; Mario has only played one year of organized basketball. Lamar McNight 6'6 4 TNBA/Bedford Chanel had a strong April and really played well at Pitt jam fest. Lamar is getting interest from horizon league schools, Robert Morris and Radford. Look for Lamar at WVU jam fest to ball out for a scholarship. Maurice Catney 6'2 Glenville a teammate of Lamar’s on the AAU tour is gaining interest from low to d2+. CJ McCollum 5'11 of Glen Oak is one of the better shooters in the state. CJ can create space with his jab series
and also crafty handle. Word is that CJ has some low offers but time will tell, CJ plays with king James and is more of a scoring guard than a lead guard. Jamel Harris 6'8 of Euclid/King James is off the board with a verbal to Eastern Michigan. Harris is the lightning bug of the 09 class with his tendency to show flashes, but then disappears during the game. I really like his potential if he works and competes on a consistent basis. Desmar Jackson 6'3 and Sheldon Brogden 5'11 both King James/Warren Harding prospects will have to prove themselves in July. Desmar once a top 75 national prospect has been quiet since March. Hopefully he can have a strong showing at wvu Jamfest and Nike main event to make up for his library time. Sheldon known for his ability to score in bunches has also been quiet on the AAU circuit. Will Felder 6'5 3man from Lutheran east runs with King James as well and is getting interest from many d2 to low schools. Will
does a good job scoring the ball, but needs to work on his handle and defending the perimeter.
DJ Cunningham 6'8 5 All-Ohio Red/Waterford is gaining interest from Macs and lower level schools. DJ seems to be a good kid that is raw, yet cacheable. Look for a Mac or Horizon to slide in and grab him early.
Jack Smith a 6'4 3/4 for All-Ohio red plays with a solid motor and has the ability to step out and knock down the 15 foot left handed jumper. Jack plays with Cincinnati Hughes during the school year. Tanner Furno 6'6 4 from Columbus Whetstone/All-Ohio Red is a D2+ prospect considering his high IQ and solid academics. Darren Goodsen 6'4 also runs with all-Ohio but has pledged to coach Orr at Bowling Green.
Bill Edwards a 6'5 4/3 from Middletown plays with All-Ohio force and is gaining interest from most of the Mac schools to a-10 programs. Bill also is a football player, but seems to be waiting on the right fit for basketball. Allen Roberts 6'2 another Middletown hooper and all-Ohio Force teammate of Edwards is gaining interest from mids. Allen is a big body guard with a football background also. Lamar Mallory 4 6'6 is playing with All-Ohio red and could be a sleeper for the 09 class. The word on Mallory is an athletic sleeper with mid-major potential and legit skill set. Lamar plays for Travis Trice and Huber Heights Wayne during the school year.
Andrew Pavloff 4/5 6'8 from Walsh Jesuit/OBC is gaining Ivy League interest with his 3.7gpa and high act scores. 6'8 Justin Jamison 5 formerly of Benedictine/All-Ohio Red has transferred to Strongsville to focus in on baseball. Coach Joe Lynch might have a chance at getting Justin out in the winter considering the talent at Strongsville. Roy Brown a 6'3 3man from Garfield Heights/TNBA is getting D2 interest and rumored a visit to University if Charleston. Joe Vidovic 6'6 4 Willoughby south is playing with TNBA for July and could earn a D2 scholarship in December. Anthony Wells 2g 6’2 of Shaker Heights/TNBA has already committed to Cleveland State and will be a solid 2man for TNBA during July. Andre Jackson 6'6 high energy 4man for TNBA/Garfield heights brings a solid motor and dirty work mentality for both squads. Jamil Brooks a 5'10 guard for TNBA/Warrensville heights backs up Catney and wells.
Stephon Johnson 6'5 wing from Cincinnati /OBC is another prospect that is receiving Division 1 interest with his retro skill set and lefty style of play. Plays with a high-motor and is very similar to Jack smith. Tim Haulsfeld 5'5 CBIZ/Southview is a gritty tough guard that might earn a D2 coaches heart with his tough nosed napoleon performance in July. Sir-Christian Williams 6'3 Cleveland Heights/D1 Greyhounds is coming off a few minor injuries but should be ready for WVU jam fest. Look for sir to gain low interest if he leads his team out of pool play and finishes when going to the cup. Jake Mays 4 6'8 Tallmadge/Cbiz is another low d2 to high d3 prospect. Tyler Tucci 2/3 6'3 Malvern/Cbiz is getting interest from lower D2 schools and could be a good fit at the NAIA level. CJ Oldham a 3/2 6'4 of Solon who’s the son of Calvin Oldham former Virginia tech hookie. CJ possesses a long frame and good handle. CJ could be a D2 prospect if he develops a pull-up with his 3.75 GPA.
Jared Porrini 6'4 3 Timken might be with All Ohio Red for July. Jarred is a very skilled slashing 3man who has a knack at getting to the cup. JP has a red flag considering his AAA travel miles with high schools and AAU teams. Has mid major potential. DD Joyner of Groveport Madison is 6’2 slashing 2guard that can finish above the rim. DD Shows flashes of being a D2+ prospect. He needs to get more lift/arch on his shot. Cameron Howard 6'7 very athletic 4 that plays well in the transition game and is very explosive in the open court. Cam does all the little things that you can't teach. Cam needs to work on post game. Has a chance to be a mid-major prospect with his athletic ability. Fred Chatman 4/5 is a 6'8 long/wiry big from Cleveland JFK that is under the radar. Fred runs the floor very well and gets little exposure considering he plays with a local AAU (CAVS) program. We feel he is a year away from being a low division 1 prospect with his long arms and ability to run the floor, rebound and contest shots.
Dane Kopp 6'9 5 has been in hiding since he last cut the nets down in March with Newark. He plays AAU with College Bound Elite and has a chance to be a D1 mid minus player if he puts some time in. Dane is a legit 5 that will give you 6 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. Not a very skilled player, but a legit chance of being mid-major with work and effort.
