Next up, Dre'Kalo Clayton(6'6" 245 PF) from Orlando.

"Right now, I have offers from Florida, USF, USC, Mississippi State, Penn State, Murray State, Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Illinois and several more," said Clayton.

Other schools are showing interest but haven't offered up to this point.

"I'm also receiving interest from FIU, Kansas State, Miami, UCLA, Southern Miss and South Alabama," said Clayton.

Quote from: TheRecruitScoop
Kansas State is now expressing interest in 2013 PF Matthew Atewe of the Northern Kings (CAN).

Not rated. Sounds about right.

"Team Canada had many familiar names in the Nike Global Challenge that coaches are very familiar with. One player coaches got a chance to see that they might not have known a lot about was Matt Etewe, a 6-foot-9 C/PF in the Class of 2013. Etewe will spend next season at Notre Dame Prep and is a member of the 2013 recruiting class.

Etewe definitely looks the part of an athletic post player and his recruitment will be one to track into the fall. Schools are becoming more and more familiar with him and his recruiting list is just beginning to formulate.

“Auburn, Purdue, USC, Marquette, Illinois, St. Bonaventure, and a lot of others,” Etewe told NBE when asked about his recruitment."

From Kline, we've offered this kid now, 5th ranked prospect in state of MA for Class of '13.

Couple vids with him while he was playing at a prep school in his native Canada a couple seasons ago.

You can start around 3:20 on this one.

Eric Bossi

Been a nice week for Brandon Parrish of DFW. Starting to like him as spot up shooter for high majors looking for a specific fit.

Hey, we seem to be active on the trail and are getting some decent mentions from 4-star/high 3-star guys.

That at least keeps it interesting. It gives UW something to do.

K-state has recently offered 2013 combo guard Daxter Miles of Baltimore Elite per Kline

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Daxter-Miles-131278

From NBE report at AAU Nationals last week:

"Daxter Miles, a combo guard from Baltimore who attends IMG Academy (FL), listed offers from Kansas State, Virginia Tech, Xavier, Colorado State, Oklahoma State, and Miami. The 6’2 class of 2013 prospect is also hearing from North Carolina State, USC and more. Miles, who runs with Nike Baltimore Elite, said that he has a top five right now. That top group, in order, is North Carolina State, Miami, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech. Miles said that he is planning to take visits to North Carolina State and Kansas State, and then will commit late in the fall."

From last weekend in Vegas, not bad:

"* Jordan Mathews always plays hard and his shooting keeps getting better. He hit a couple threes and long two-point jumpers in Cal Supreme’s victory over the Oakland Soldiers. "

"Jordan Mathews is looking to trim his list to five and has five standouts – USC, Indiana, Marquette, Kansas State and Gonzaga. "

Update says Thompson will be going to St. John's Military Academy this coming year, profile reads "St. John's Military Academy - Salina, KS". Not saying that's impossible but if I had to bet, I'd put money on him attending St. John's Military Academy - Delafield, WI(suburban Milwaukee).

St. John's in WI has been acting as a prep school that focuses on developing college basketball talents. Texas Tech signee Aaron Ross attended there last year, current KSU recruit Jevon Thomas will reportedly also be attending there this year.

The next 3 posts were all taken from reports from the AAU National Championship in Orlando last week:

"Sam Singer, 2013 SG, Gold Coast: Singer did a bit of everything on Thursday night. While he is known as a shooter, it was his ability to force turnovers and create for his teammates that stood out in their game against TP Elite. Singer had 5 steals in the first half alone, including a couple on Burton. He also played more of a facilitating role and got to the rim, showing he could play the point at the next level. Perhaps the most telling statistic is that he finished with 15 points on an off shooting night."

http://future150.com/hs/basketball-news/aau-national-championships-day-2-recap

"Sam Singer, 2013 PG, Gold Coast: Singer has had a solid week in Orlando but saved his one of his best performances for their game against TP Elite, finishing with 20 points and 5 assists in the win. Perhaps the most underrated and impressive part of Singer’s game is to make everyone around him better, which he did on Sunday."

"Dre’Kalo Clayton, 2013 PF, D12 Warriors: The 6-foot-6 big man has expanded his game to the perimeter, where he knocked down three pointers with consistency. He also crashed the boards and get himself easy putback baskets. Offensively he was the only player who had consistency for D12 and was a major factor in a low scoring affair against Legit (IN)."

"Daxter Miles, 2013 PG, Baltimore Elite: Miles has been one of the bigger names to make a jump this summer, as he has gone from mid-major prospect to high-major prospect. He showed exactly why on Wednesday night as he started off 5-6 from three point land. He was also a nightmare in the open floor, where he got to the rim and finished through contact."

A couple of prospects that had been mentioned on KSU's radar in the past(a reported offer for Jones), the interest doesn't appear to be that great at this time:

Donte’ Clark, a 6’4 combo guard from the Georgia Stars, has really seen his recruitment rise over the past few months. Originally a class of 2012 prospect at Kennedy Charter (NC), Clark is headed to Hargrave Military Academy (VA) for a post-graduate year. Clark listed scholarship offers from Memphis, Miami, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech, Mississippi, Tennessee, East Carolina, and Georgia, plus others he could not recall. He said North Carolina State, Baylor and Cincinnati are amongst the schools showing interest in him. Clark has no favorites and no timetable for a commitment.

Clark has visited North Carolina State, Virginia Tech and East Carolina, but has no other trips planned. He noted that he is not necessarily looking to stay in the South–or to leave it–for college, but rather just for the “best fit” for him,. Also, Clark said most programs are recruiting him as a point guard.
——————-

Damian Jones, a 6-foot-9 power forward out of Scotlandville (LA), is one of the best academic students amongst the high-major players in the class of 2013. Jones, who runs with the Texas Titans, said he holds a 4.5 GPA and noted that academics will be part of his college choice, which is evident from his list. He mentioned scholarship offers from Vanderbilt, Florida, North Carolina State, Virginia Tech, Stanford, and LSU to go along with interest from Duke. Of his favorites right now, Jones remarked, “I like Vanderbilt, Duke, LSU, and Florida.”

When asked if there are one or two schools above the others, Jones replied, “Vanderbilt kind of stands out the most.” He has yet to take any unofficial visits, but does plan on doing so. He will likely sign late and is planning to possibly commit around the middle of his high school season. Jones wants to major in electrical engineering and said all those schools have that program.

Mitchell, killing it, updates on Atewe and Carroll:

"Following a successful July live period, the talented big(Atewe) is set on relaxing and hasn't planned any college visits. "Nope, not right now," he said. "I just want to relax and be with my family before I go back to school."

Most importantly for the developing big man is that he has plenty of options. He has a bunch of offers with high major interest, as well. "I got offers from Kansas State, Auburn, Dayton, St. Bonaventure, Southern Mississippi, Duquesne, Charlotte, Marshall, New Mexico State, Western Kentucky and others," he said. "With interest from Marquette, Purdue, Illinois, Butler and many others."

Carroll has offers from SMU, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Nebraska, TCU, Santa Clara, and others(totaling 15):

"One Big 12 member has a visit planned with the 6-7 senior-to-be(Carroll). "I'm assigned to visit Kansas State on September 9th as of right now," he said."I don't have any scheduled."

With more schools starting to show interest, the 2013 forward makes it clear that he isn't favoring one school saying, "I don't have any favorite schools yet." He is currently checking his options but did acknowledge that he could make his decision fairly quick.

"Before I go back to school," Carroll said of when he could announce his decision. "So sometime in August."

Really hope Foster is also visiting KSU on or about Sept 9(weekend of Miam game), Hawkins can come along for the ride if he wants(Foster, Hawkins, and Carroll all teammates on Dallas Mustangs).

Kline needs to remember to revise the profile once he does his updates, he's probably got enough other stuff to worry about, but it would lend the Rivals database that much more credibility.
