Combo forward
Josh is a coach’s dream as both a player and a person. He is one of the soundest,
smartest athletes I have ever coached. He lets the game
come to him. Has good all around ability and skills, but
plays within himself. He is a first class perimeter shooter.
He can drive and post up and is an effective finisher
going to the basket. He is a mature defender both inside
and out and a very good defensive rebounder. He is a first
class mid major D1 prospect, who is ready to step in and
play as a freshman and will not hold a team back from
getting to the NCAA Tournament if you are good enough
at the other positions. He is a major league complimentary
or blend forward.
Josh Kramer on the other hand is
a solid mid major 3 man who unfortunately has played mostly
a #4 man who can step out and hit threes both for Torrey
Pines H.S. and BWBA Orange. Josh needs be recruited as
true 3, as a face in the basket big wing. He has all the
tools, experience and excellent perimeter decision making
already, and needs nothing to be able step in and be a
4 year starter in college. John Olive, his high school
coach at Torrey Pines, and the former coach at Loyola
Marymount, is one of the best high school coaches in the
country,. Between playing for John Olive and Bob Gottlieb,
a former head coach at the NCAA D1 level with over 100
wins, at that level, and Josh Kramer's basic superb basketball
instincts and decision making, Josh is as ready to play
as any youngster I've ever coached.
Coaches have questioned whether or
not he could guard a 3. My opinion is that is garbage.
In the 1st place he has superb footwork and is extremely
smart and sound defensively, and with good team defense
he should not have defensive problems. Nobody guards his
man on the perimeter "on an island", so to speak.
Secondly, Josh was a very tired athlete throughout most
of the tournaments. He played approximately 40 games with
his high school team and then went to the West Coast All
Star Camp and the very next day began playing in the Full
Court Press Tournament. In between the Full Court Press
Tournament and the adidas Big Time Tournament in Vegas,
his high school team played in the UCSD team camp, so
he really never had a chance to rest or get his legs back,
until he had 2 days off after the end of the adidas Big
Time Tournament.

Small
Forward Chris had
an excellent summer with BWBA Team Alaska and was
liked by most every one who saw him play.
Chris is being heavily recruited by most Big West,
WCC and Big Sky schools, especially Montana State,
where his older brother will walk on from junior
college. Oklahoma State, Arizona State, San
Diego State, Utah and Stanford have also shown major
interest, but it will be interesting to see which
of those mid and hi majors actually offer. Samford,
Boise State will also offer. Chris has excellent
basketball instincts and knows how to play.
He is not a go to scorer but is an outstanding athlete,
an exceptional offensive rebounder, very good
open court player, a pretty good shooter and a stopper
defensively. He also has a 3.6 gpa and is
a terrific young man. He is the kind of player
who may score 12-15 pts. in a game, but be the MVP
of the game.

Point
Guard Avi has matured
into an outstanding, athletic, true point guard
who can not only run a team but also score both
from the perimeter and on slashes to the hole. Was
recruited by Princeton and most of the top Ivy league
schools, however his grades do not appear strong
enough. Colgate definitely has indicated that they
want him. Rice, Northern Arizona and North Carolina
Greensboro head a number of other schools that are
actively recruiting Avi. Avi comes out of Torrey
Pines H.S., coached by former Loyola Marymount Head
Coach John Olive. John is one of the very best high
school coaches in the country and all of his D1
prospects leave Torrey Pines ready to step into
a major college program ready to play and step in
as freshmen. Avi not only had an outstanding year
on the court averaging 20 ppg and 7 assists but
now appears to be a full 6'2" and has become
exceptionally athletic and a scoring point guard
capable of playing in one of the major conferences. |
