WE FLY HIGH BALLERS

Well AAU is just about over as every program is making their last go around befor players commit or geting that scholorship they want. 3 tourneys are in Las Vegas by the name of Main Event, Reebook Summer Champions, and Super 64. This could be a great place to be if your destined to purse a good college look. The only down fall is there are so many gyms so all the coaches may be spread out or at one gym.

Orlando, Florida is also hosting tourneys which is consiting of the Super Showcase and AAU Nationals. This is overall to me a better event because of the distance of gyms and the one sports complex where every team has a chance of playing in.

Kansas City is hosting a Nike tourney by the name of Hoop City Classic which will contain most of the countries top Nike programs including The Famliy. WFHB has never been to this event so we can't tell you much but Nike never dissappoints so this could be a good one for exsposure.

Phoneix, Arizona is also hosting a tourney that most teams are attending after Las Vegas which is called Desert of The Duel. Plenty of Adidas teams are heading to this event including Atlanta Celtics, Team Detroit, SYF Players ect. This should be a good one to attend as many Top 100 prospects will be in the house.

The majority of Michigan teams are going to Florida or Las Vegas so well try to update you by talking to coaches and players on their performances and other news..We will be in LAS VEGAS!MI Teams Represent.

   Amir Williams                                                               Roy Marble

With all types of division one players on the squad The Famliy went to the peach jam knowing they were going to at least make some noise, but winning the whole thing was a bit shocking. The 16u group went undefeated all week while sweeping through the championship game beating All Ohio 77-60.

The MVP of the tourney had to be Carlton Brundidge as he scored near 30 points in almost every contest. Amir Williams played great as well as he racked up blocks, rebounds, and finished well around the rim. Roy Marble (Iowa Commit) was knocking down shots left and right as he came up clutch in a number of affairs.

Other players who played well were Darren Washington, Chris Fowler, Marcell Smith, Urbane Bingham, and Desmond Barnes. This group now goes down in history and may be the most accomplished AAU team in the state tjis year for winning such a highly touted event.

Congratulations Boys!!!

Roy Marble Jr. a 6'5 Wing Guard from Southfield Lathrup High has exceled in the class room and exspecially on the court. Some questioned rather Marble could play Division 1 ball, but he never stopped working and early this morning he accepted a full ride to play at the University Of Iowa.

Roy Marble Sr. (Father) played high school ball at Flint Beecher and also attended Iowa where he holds scoring records and is a pure legend on campus as we speak. Marble had offers from Dayton, Providence, Detroit, Fairfield, and Buffalo. Michigan now has 3 2010 prospects who have verbal committed to a Big Ten School. From the WFHB staff congrats to Roy and his Famliy!!!!!!!

2010

6'5 Southfield Lathrup Wing Guard Roy Marble was offered by the University of Iowa during and unoffical visit which made that offer number 3 as he already has one from Buffalo and Providence. Roy Will be playing with The Famliy 17u in AAU Nationals in Orlando, Florida in July.

6'0 Detroit Southeastern PG Anthony Fields attended the Five Star camp in Hampton, Virginia as he was named to the Top 20 allstar game and named best defebder in the camp with 15 top 100 player in the class of 2010&2011. Fields has high intrest in SMU and South Carolina as WOTS is both have offered.

The trio 6'0 Detroit Country Day PG Ray McCallum, 6'3 Detroit Pershing CG Keith Appling, and 6'5 Mount Pleasant WG Trey Ziegler all attended the NBA Top 100 camp and had reher solid peformances. Out the 3 Appling had the best showing as he was Top 5 in scoring. Trey played well as he did every aspects of the game from, Ray played his PG role as always. Trey and Ray will be with Team Detroit as Keith will be with Noem Oden's Michigan Mustangs in July.

6'4 SG Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard Josh Herbeck is on a rampage as he has high intrest from the University of Michigan, Dayton, and Butler. Josh is a very underrated scorer in the 2010 class. He is a Michigan fan an I could really see him playing in B's system. This past weekend he exceled at Dayton's Team Camp and my source Matt Schwade says the're really pursuing him. He wil be running with The Famliy 17u in AAU Nationals in Orlando, Florida in July.

2011

6'6 CG Detroit Southeastern Brandan Kearney was apart of the 16u USA Olympic trials in Mendoza, Argentna as they brought back a gold medalwinning all their games in a blowout effort. Kern was a significant reason why as he provied great defense and leadership. He hods offers from Michigan an Ohio State with Syracuse, Tennesee, Kentucky, and Memphis intrested. He will be with Team Detroit in July.

6'0 PG Ottawa Hils Jordan Myrick who is an upcoming 2011 guard took a recent visit up to Dayton University as he toured the campus an participated in open gym with the players. Jordan is a very solid PG as he knows the role and doesn't get caught up tin scoring. He wil be with GR Storm's 17u in July.

5'11 PG Flint Powers Catholic Patrick "PLP" Lucas Perry has rcently been offered by Michigan State and Michigan. PLP haad a showdown up in Lansing aganist Keith Apling as he scored 20 points and captured a win and that seaed the deal for Izzo. Belien offered PLP because of how well he has blossomed and how good he fits their system. PLP will be with Tim McCormicks AAU team in July as he almost has 10 Divison 1 offers.

BK made the team as he will attend the Argentina for games June 17-21st. The first game is aganist Brazil as the team must place 3rd to qualify forthe 17u olympics next year.

Patrick Lucas Perry Jr. PG Flint Powers PLP has attended the University of Stanford Elite camp recently and plans on going to the NBA Top 100 camp. I'm not sure If he really is beacuse his name wasn't on the list but Tim M is his AAU coach. Patrick has picked up an array of intrest as S.Bell (Bankhoops) reports Wake Forest is intrested. Michigan is very high on his list as they need a PG in 2011.

Dwaun Anderson Jr. WG Suttons Bay Our staff got a call from one of his coaches telling us he was Top 10 in 2011?? Now we didn't take the conversation serious until they said look at his highlight film on Rivals. DA ripped WFHB #1 2010 prospect Trey Ziegler apart this past weekend with an array of jumpshots and dribble drive moves.

His handle is suspect but his athleticism, toughness, finishing ability and stroke isnt. With some polish he could be mentioned with Brundidge, Williams, and Lucas Perry in the likes of scoring. ONE TO REALLY WATCH D1 coaches this summer.

Carlton Brundidge Jr. CG Southfield High & Amir Williams Jr. C Detroit Country Day  The Famliy duo is attending the Nike Hoop Jamboree which consits of the Top 120 underclassmen who reside on in the Nike world. Some of the Top "Players will be chosen to participate in the Lebron James Skills Academy.

Brundidge has Georgia, Michigan Michigan State, and Xavier intrested so far with Michigan and State being the leaders. Amir Williams has Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Syracuse, and Kansas on his tail so their process should be intresting

With 5 Scholies avalible in the 2010 class along with combo guard commit Derek Jackson out of ohio Central Michigan's staff  plans on landing around 4 MI 2010 prospects depending on how well they perform during the July Period. With the 2010 Top 20 Pre-Summer Rankings already completed the CMU famliy has shown love to all of them. Basically all the Top 20 prospects are targets. CMU has offered 7 of them scholorships while some are up for one this summer... Below is a list of the 7 prospects who have been offered and 3 who could eaisly earn a scholie depending on their summer performance. This has no connection to the Central Michigan Staff  but is opionated by WFHB's.

Trey Ziegler 6'5 CG Mount Pleasant High Team Detroit 

Competition: Central Michigan, UCLA, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Arizona State, Notre Dame

Scoop: Trey is the son of Ernie Ziegler so due to the relation CMU could land Trey because what kid wouldn't wanna play for their dad? On the other hand Trey's stock has went up and it seems he is a certified High Major prospect. This could be a steal if CMU landed " Zieg" but more than likely if he stay home MSU or U of M will be the reason. CMU Offered

John Horford 6"9 PF Grand Ledge Michigan Mustangs

Competition: Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Florida, Dayton, Miami

Scoop: Horford has and offer from Miami and I think Michigan State as for major offers. Many scouts and reporters see him as High Major prospect and the way he's been playing I'm starting to think he is as well If he keeps working. If he plans on going mid major CMU would have to battle with Dayton which would be a better fight coompered to the others. CMU Offered

Maurice Jones 5"6 PG Saginaw Arthur Hill Reach legends

Competition: Fordam, Oregon, Central Michigan, Texas, UConn

Scoop: Little man has been on a rampage this spring! He has been tourching some of the Top college prospects for 40 and 30 points while still getting his 8 to 10 assits. Maurice has a bundle of mid- major offers mainly because he is 5'6. He plays 6'5 at times the way he gets in the lane and creates but what High Major university is gonna take a risk on a 5'6 guard? The funny thing is someone will if his stock continues to rise. I don't see why CMU couldn't win the mid-major battle but I see Maurice getting a High Major Offer this summer. CMU Offered

Matthew Kaminiecki 6'7 PF Clarkston High Michigan Mustangs

Competition: Oakland, Michigan, Detroit, Northwestern, Penn State, IPU, Central Michigan

Scoop: Matt is having a great AAU with the Michigan Mustangs and his stock is on the rise due to his successful high school season. The problem with Matt is his speed and skill level on the perimeter. He may be limited at the High Major level compared to being a star at the mid-major level. CMU could land Matt because as of now he could play their. If he gets 6'9 or 6'10. He would be a definate High Major because he's tough but as of now Mid Major....CMU Offered

Colin Voss 6'8 PF East Grand Rapids Grand Rapids Storm

Competition: Michigan State, Western Michigan, U of D, Michigan

Scoop: Colin Voss is a new name in the 2010 class but sure is making his way up to an elite prospect this time around. Colin has been playing well at local tourney and solid outta town. Voss has mid-major offers as many High Majors are not fimilar with him. This summer he could blow up and recieve a High major offer or settle for mid-major. Honestly CMU has a great chance in landing Voss if U of D doesn't snag him. CMU Offered

Corey Petros 6'10 PF Utica Eisenhower Team Detroit

Competition: Detroit, Bowling Green, Penn State, Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Dayton

Scoop: Petros is one big who really has improved through the years. Right now his stock is on the rise due to playing with Team Detroit which features McCallum and Ziegler. That gives High Majors a chance to check him out but on the other hand that helps U of D and CMU due to the son connection. I'm not sure if Corey wants to stay close or go High Major but Central Michigan would be a great place for him to get his shine on and potentially go pro. Think about It dominate in the MAC and be successful or play behind a Jared Sullinger or Josh Smith and be labled average...CMU Offered

Devon Long 6"7 PF Detroit Crockett L.A Stars

Competition: U of D, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Xavier

Scoop: In my opinion Devon is the next Derrick Nix in the Detroit area and in a article backin in the 2008-2009 high school season Nix agreed. Devon is a excelent defender and very strong down low. Long plays well with his back to the basket and has a nice touch. Long is a mid-major prospect due to his size and that could be a good thing for CMU. CMU Offered

Anthony Fields 6'0 PG Detroit Southeastern Detroit Fire

Competition: Marquette, Bowling Green, Arizona, Eastern Michigan, Oakland, Dayton, South Florida

Scoop: Fields is a pending prospect for a CMU scholie. Jones may be ahead of him and CMU should offer him if things with Jones don't workout. Jackson does need a running mate in the class. The thing is Mark White has done a great Job with making Fields into a pure PG and with his size High Majors are making plans to check him out this summer. His summer really will tell , so far he has 3 offers but CMU isn't one.

Lanier Brown WF Detroit Cass Tech Detroit Fire

Competition:Cleveland State, Central Michigan, Dayton, Detroit

Scoop: Brown has been playing almost perfect with the Detroit Fire program this spring. He really is the best prospect on the Fire next to Kyle Vinales and Fields. Lanier scores, rebounds, dribbles, and plays defense. His only down fall is his 3 point shot is shaky for his size it must be money. If he contines with a great summer he could recieve an offer but I'm not sure how intrested they're in him or he is in them.

Roy Marble 6'6 2G Southfield Lathrup The Famliy

Competition:Michigan, Oakland, ,Iowa, Central Michigan, Providence

Scoop: Marble really would be a great fit for the CMU program especially running with Derek Jackson. He is a great shooting guard and has great size to go along with his smooth stroke. Roy is starting to emerge into a High Major prospect as Providence and Iowa are planning to offer him in June. Honestly Cental Michigan should offer Marble because he could really get off their and help the program to a tourney bid he's getting that good.

** We plan on doing a Hot Board for U of D and Eastern Hopefully but are sources are limited towards thoes two programs so stay tuned!

MSU

Rumor Has It That Michigan State Will be striking again sooner than you think...If this kid verbals to MSU they will definately give Ohio State a run for the best 2010 recruting class.

Michal Talley Vs Issiah Sykes

According to T.J Kelley at Insideprepsports.net , The Famliy won the Silver bracket at the Bill Hensley Speice Tourney in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Congrats to the boys and coaches from WFHB! In the final 4 the Michigan Hurricanes met up with The Famliy as Talley and Sykes left the press satisfyed. Both scored over 20 points in the game but Talley Jr. go the win. Both are in WFHB Class of 2010 Top 10. Maurice Jones 5'6 PG Saginaw Arhtur Hill also displayed his talents and unbelieveable ability to run a team and score. He also had a good indiviual weekend.

Bowling Green Gets A Sleeper

Devon Hayes  a 6'7 PF Junior out of Detroit Finney has made a pledge to play for BG and coach Louis Orr. Hayes is fierce rebounder and has a knack for blocking shots. He has solid post moves and finishes well. He had a breakout game against Detroit Southeastern as he racked up 14 points and 10 rebounds against some othe the Top Prospects in the Detroit area. Bowling Green is the 4th school in the MAC to add a 2010 recruit.  Good Luck Devon and Congrats to the Bowling Green Famliy!!!

A highly skilled big by the name of Alex Guana out of Eaton Rapids High Verbaled to Tom Izzo and the Michigan State spartans today after school reportedly by Spartan Mag and Scout.com. Alex received and Offer by Izzo on Tuesday and wasted no time on making a pledge 2 days later.

Alex  Guana is 6'9 and has a knack for scoring down low, rebounding, and blocking shots. In my scouting report a while back I noted how Guana reminded WFHB of Goran Suton and apparently that's one of the main reason Izzo Offered him. Alex now joins his fell Michigan Mustang AAU teammate Keith Appling as a Spartan. It's good the two of them are playing together now as things will be the same in 2010-2011. Congrats to the Gauna family and MSU for landing it's 3rd 2010 prospect!

My staff has done a great job on scouting the classes of 2009-2012 and finally our summer rankings have been finalized. Each class is done except for 2009. Were gonna do something special for them but that will take time. Plenty of prospects, parents, and coaches may be upset that their kid is not in the Top 10 or 20. We apologize some hard decisions were made the last few weeks. From Brandon Gouch to Tommie Bell and even deciding to put Carlton Brundidge over Kearney. We use a voting process sort of like the All-State voting procedure

WFHB plans on increasing the rankings to about about 50 prospects befor the summer is over. College coaches email me none stop about players who are not even in my Top 30 so don't worry. We put together a list of prospects who we plan on seeing who live in the western part of the state the names are below. Enjoy and if you have any questions I'm a email away. If you want my number WFHB only transfers that information via email....:
