Super 75 First Review

Detroit, MI.- Energy controlled Calihan Hall as Inside Prep Sports' Super 75 many members of the basketball community spent valuable time this past Saturday at the University of Detroit's Calihan Hall. The University provided wonderful accommodations and platform for the day's success as, the best players in Michigan hustled through drill work and competitive games in an excellent social atmosphere.

Campers, coaches, scouts, and parents traveled from far and near to attend Inside Prep Sports' 4th Super 75 Mini-camp/Showcase with the sponsorship of Guardian Wear to provide an overall success.

Special thanks to Andiamo Riverfront and the food services they provided for the coaches and players.

Now onto the players and ten that stood out:

Tyrone Black, 6'6, Benton Harbor '09- Black's strength and athleticism were obvious, the 225 pound lefty has a knack for the rebound and an efficient defender in the post. He's very similar to Mott C.C.'s standout sophomore Deandre Nealy. He's received mid to low Division I attention.

Jamie Stewart, 6'3', Livonia Clarenceville '09- He still needs to polish his handle and shot for the mid-major level but there is no denying his will to throw the ball down. His alley-oop from Zac Collins was one of the days highlights and he had numerous other dunks from all angles. A mid-low major player.

Scott Rogers, 6'4, Waterford Kettering '09- Welcome to the world of recruiting, Scott Rogers. One of the biggest sleepers in the state, no longer, as the wing/two guard shot the ball effectively from the perimeter and showed off his athleticism and ball-handling by crossing his defender only to take off and throw the ball down in traffic.

Aaron Clayborn, 6'5, Benton Harbor '09- Another standout as he's big and prefers to handle the ball, which he can is capable of doing. Clayborn was able to score on the perimeter and drive to the bucket for scores. Clayborn has the game, athleticism, and will to improve and play on the mid-major level.

Jalen Jarrett, 5'10, Jackson '09- The smooth lefty guard impressed me with his ability to get up and grab rebounds during drill work. He shot the ball well during games and didn't force the issue as he played point most of the time. DIII right now and maybe more as he continues to gain muscle mass.

Terrance Holmes, 6'4, Detroit Midtown Academy '09- A 235 pound bowling ball with game. He can do what his body suggests and that's hold down the post, provide toughness, and gather rebounds. His athleticism, soft hands, and agility around the rim intrigued coaches.

Alex Harville, 6', Warren De La Salle '09- The lefty guard shot it from the perimeter well and was often the go to guy on the perimeter in game play. He did very well during station drills and is a starting guard on a pre-season top five high school team which should gather him that much more interest from Division III and possibly some Division II programs.

Jamar Ragland, 6'4, Detroit Loyola '09- Ragland was probably the day's most active defender and "get after it guy" as he came up with loose balls and contributed to many turnovers. He provided a lot of balance on his team and went with the flow on offense. Oddly, he's one of the leading scorers in the Catholic High School League but in the Showcase he looked to make the pass. Ragland has gained the interest of many Division II programs.

Nathan Clark, 6', Livonia Clarenceville '09- Clark is another lefty that shot it well over the course of the day. He does a nice job of finding open shots in the corners and improving his handles will help his ability play either guard spot. Clark might have the choice of playing football or basketball next year.

Dragan Bijelic, 6'5, Utica Eisenhower '09- Another sleeper for Inside Preps, Dragan's a cool name and he knocked down some threes. Jokes aside, he preferred to hang out on the perimeter where he shot the ball with efficiency and confidence. He had the strength to hit a three that was momentarily blocked. Bijelic told me that a DII program in Tennessee has offered.

Another Super 75 Review on seniors from UDM soon...
