1.

Amir Williams

Detroit Country Day

The Famliy

Colleges	Projection
Michigan, Michigan State, UCLA, Miami, Ohio State, Wake forest,  Oklahoma	High Major

Scouting Report:

Amir is a very aggressive rebounder and a relentless shot blocker for a sophomore. He finishes good around the basket and is tough as nails. Amir has the most potential next to Brandon Kearney in the 2011 class for he has the opportunity to be 7'0 or taller. Amir plays well with his back to the basket but must develop a mid range shot. As he gets stronger we will continue to see improvement and his rank may go up.

Michigan (Verbal)	High Major

Scouting Report:

Brundidge is a aggressive scorer and has a passion for the game you don't find now days. Brundidge is a good 3 point shooter with range. He handles the ball good and is a underrated passer. Brundidge is a good defensive player as he dives for loose balls and gets in the passing lanes good. Brundidge finishes well in the lane and never shy's away from contact. Brundidge must become quicker for the next level and become an better off the dribble shooter.

Detroit Southeastern

Team Detroit

Colleges	Projection
Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Tennessee, Florida International, Kentucky	High Major

Scouting Report:

Kearney is a skilled combo guard with the potential to be a 6'8 point guard. Kearney is a good spot up shooter from 15 feet and out He has a solid handle that can improve and is a good rebounder. Kearney is very poised and has high basketball IQ. He reminds my brother of Shaun Livingston. Kearney plays good defense but must become more consistent and get stronger. He distributes the ball better than any 6'6 prospect in Michigan.

Dante Hinton

WF

Lansing Eastern

Michigan Mustangs

Colleges	Projection
Michigan State, Utah, Penn State, Ohio State	High Major Potential

Scouting Report:

Hinton is a dominate foward that can shot 3 pointers at a high precentage  or  drivr to the basket. Hinton is a undersized forward but his solid handle and aggressiveness makes him look much bigger. He is a good rebounder for he broke the state record as a freshmen last year and very strong for a sophomore. Hinton must establish a position he is 6'4 and could be a guard. He has the tool its just the matter of putting them all together.

STRENGTHS  Finisher  Post Play  Rebounding AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT  Mid-Range  Handle  Versatility

5.

Tommie McCune

6'8

PF

Saginaw High

Saginaw FOH

Colleges	Projection
Michigan State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Tennessee,	High Major Potential

 Scouting Report:

Tommie is a talented power forward that shoots the mid range jumper good and is a good leaper at this stage. Tommie is tough and blocks shots with his long arms. Tommie is a good finisher and plays strong in the post despite his skinny frame. Tommie must become a more aggressive rebounder for the next level but he is young. He plays confident and is comfortable with the ball, if he could develop wing skills he could be the next Morris Petterson.

STRENGTHS  Length  Mid-Range  Upside/Potential AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT  Low Block Scorer  Strength

6.

Percy Gibson

6"8

PF

Detroit Southeastern

Team Detroit

Colleges	Projection
Fordam, Michigan, Michigan State, Kentucky, Dayton	High Major Potential

Scouting  Report:

Percy is a strong power forward  with soft touch and the ability to finish around the basket. Percy is a good rebounder in traffic and has a decent mid range jumper. Percy is the best 2011 post up player at this stage and has a variety of moves compared to a year ago. He must become more patient and aware of game situations for he tends to over dribble or turn the ball over. Percy has improved a great deal and will only continue to get better..Remember their only Sophomores.

STRENGTHS  Finisher  Intensity/Passion  Work Ethic AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT  Passing  Perimeter Shot

Dwuan Anderson

6'5

WG

Suttons Bay

Parallel 45

Colleges	Projection
Dayton, Michigan, Michigan state, Central Michigan, Oakland, Providence	High Major Potential

Scouting Report:

 Athleticism has always been his trademark. Comfortable at mid-range but he gets to the rim when he wants to. Coming into his own as a scorer. Needs to become consistent but all the tools are there.  Dwuan is a very intense and passionate player for the game and always competes no matter what the comp level is. Anderson could end up a High Major Talent.

Patrick Lucas Perry

5'10

PG

Flint Powers

Team Legion

Colleges	Projection
Michigan, Michigan State, Oakland, Ohio, Central Michigan, Wake Forest, Stanford, South Florida	High Major

 

Scouting  Report:

Lucas Perry is the brother of a star guard who is lighting it up at Michigan as he tries to do the same. Perry is a fundamental point and is very smart. "Pat" is known for knocking down the 15-18 footer. He must be more patient and slow down at times as he takes off to early and leaves other behind. Lucas Perry has the ability to score but at times he gets carried aways and shoots like a two. So say he is a combo guard but he is be recrutied as a one and is 5"11. Regardless he is prolly the best PG prospect outside of Myrick and Brundidge.

A.J Matthews

Ann Arbor Huron

Common Bond

Colleges	Projection
Michigan, Michigan State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Ohio	High Major Potential

Scouting Report:

A.J is a smooth scorer with a extremely high basketball IQ and good feel for the game. He has a good pull up jumper but is at his best when attacking the basket or creating for his teammates. A.J must develop more range in his 3 point shot and get stronger. A.J has a good handle and is a very good transition player. Matthews could be a point guard like Drew Netizel but he seems more comfortable filling it up on the wing.

Matt Pouches

6'3

WG

Hartland

Mihigan Mustangs

Colleges	Projection
Michigan, Central Michigan, Oakland, Providence, Michigan State	Mid-Major

Scouting Report:

Matt is a skilled wing that is at his best when attacking the basket and shooting. Matt has a solid mid range game but is a better spot up 3 point shooter. His handles are average but needs improvement. Matt is not fast but is a good defender and average rebounder. He distributes the ball good but what makes him so good is how he is always in attack mode and how well he finishes. Matt must make better decisions and work on his quick twitch muscles.

Scouting Report:

Myrick is a good 3 point shooter and an fearless when attacking the basket.  Jordan has a good handle and plays great on ball defense. He excels
from behind the arc and is a good finisher. Jordan is a good spot up shooter  and does a good job of mixing his game up with pull ups for the three of mid range some times. Jordan needs to get a bit more quicker befor he can be an elite name.
