Outstanding Guard

Ryan is a big strong highly physical point guard/combo guard who lead Horizon H. S. to back to back California State championships. He is a superb defender at the point and a 1st rate shooter with excellent range and a solid ball handler who consistently plays mistake free basketball. His best asset however may be his physical and mental toughness. He has a 3.4 GPA and a 1090 SAT score and averaged 17ppg and 7apg in the recent state tournament.

Great guard - Defensive stopper

Tyler is a tough hard nosed point guard/combo guard who led Wheatridge H.S. to the State Championship semifinals a year ago. Tyler averaged 15 pgg and 7 assists, 3 steals and should be considered an absolute defensive stopper. He is extremely strong and physical and takes great pride in containing the other teams' best player. He is also a first rate 3-point shooter and a solid ball handler who sees the court and gets the ball to the right guy at the right time. Tyler attended Colorado State this past year and tried to walk. Unfortunately he did not make the team, but that should not detract that he is a hell of a player at some level somewhat below that of CO state. He was a 2.9 GPA student in H. S. with an ACT of 22. He is presently carrying a B average at CO State and will have 4 years of eligibility remaining.

Combo Guard

Buddy is a big, physical, talented off-guard or combo guard.  Had several truly spectacular games this summer for BWBA Team ALaska, but needs to be more consistent.  He is an absolute superior defender with his foot work, intelligence and toughness.  He is a first rate perimeter shooter, who also will fake and take it to the basket with authority.  He is an excellent ball handling 2-guard who has played some point for his high school, but  needs to be recruited as an off-guard/combo guard in college, or just as a guard in a two guard set.   He is an excellent student with a 3.5 gpa.  He averaged 18 ppg and 5 apg.   Also played well at 5 Star Basketball Camp in Pennsylvania.  NCAA D1 prospect at the IVY League/Patriot League Level.

Point Guard

Andrew is a committed youngster, who has put a lot of time into his development and has moved into the starting lineup at Servite. Plays both point guard and shooting guard. He is a very good shooter with range, a good ball handler, and solid defender with toughness, and should ultimately play in college at some level.

Big strong physical wing

Derek is a powerfully 2/3 combo wing with a 4.0 gpa/1220 SAT.

Derek has a genuine interest in the Ivy League, especially Princeton, however he will certainly consider a number of other high academic NCAA D1 programs.

His Dad played football at Lafayette and several years with the Miami Dolphins in the NFL.

Derek is also an excellent football player for his high school, but will concentrate on basketball in college.

Combo Guard

Shawn is a tremendous shooter with excellent range. He is a talented, totally committed young man, who has a scorers mentality. He has had a phenomenal year for Peninsula H.S. Averaging 30ppg he had aseason high of 41 against Inglewood including 30 points in the 2nd half alone enabling Peninsula to upset Inglewood for the 1st time in many years. Inglewood is the high school that produced both Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics and 6'9" DeAngelo Collins, just a year ago. Shawn was used mostly as a major perimeter scorer but also has played considerably at the point ans should be considered an outstanding combo guard. He can slash and take it to the basket effectively. He has NBA range as a catch and shoot perimeter shooter, but also shoots extremely effectively off the dribble in a pick and roll situation or in the open court on the fast break. He is athletic with excellent speed and quickness and will be a solid defender as well. Montana State Billings and the University of Northern Colorado which has just declared NCAA D1 status have offered full scholerships and Texas Pann American also likely will offer.

Committed to San Diego State as a preferred walk on.
