Michigan's Hot Spot: Eastside

Michigan's eastside is the place to be if you're looking for some of the best underclass talent in a double dose as Detroit Southeastern hosts Dearborn Heights Robichaud at 5 PM and Melvindale Academy of Business & Technology travels to Roseville 15 miles away from Southeastern's gym.

If, you don't know what these teams offer here's the scoop:

Detroit Southeastern has two of the best sophomores, 6'5" guard/wing Brandan Kearney and
6'7" forward Percy Gibson, in the country and two of the top in Michigan, 6'9" center Darren Washington and 5'10 guard Devontae Carter, adding to the Jungaleer's deep 2011 class.

6' guard Kimani Boynton and 6'5" power forward Kyle Bryant are the seniors that lead the young bucks. Boynton is gaining interest from mid-major programs as he was a standout in Lansing Eastern's and Romulus' scrimmages over the last two weeks. Bryant is a prospect on the offensive line and provides added girth in the paint.

5'10" Carlos Carter and 6' Anthony Fields are junior point guards that run "The Mark White Show" and both are gathering D1 interest.

Robichaud's big draw is a freshman but there are others to look for on the Bulldog squad:

6'1 freshman guard Ray Lee put up 20+ points including the decisive points in his first high school game. He's drawing early interest from Michigan and Michigan State.

6'5 senior forward Winthrop Thomas is solid in the post and his game is five feet away from D1 interest.

5'5 sophomore guard Deon Stegall is quick and controls the tempo.

Friday's nightcap goes on to Roseville as two of the state's top junior guards battle. Roseville has

6'3 two-guard Brandon Gouch a smooth scorer who is flying under the radar of DI programs. Melvindale ABT has one of the state's best guards in 5'10 Michael Talley. Talley is a relentless scorer and has offers on the mid-major level.

Bonus player for ABT is 6'6 junior forward Terrance Ramsey, a bouncy rebounding and shot blocking force.
