posting this here since it has more on haughton and james than ar-t, who evidently wasn't notable.

Dr. Krop vs. Dwyer

The final game of the event matched two teams widely considered to be the best in South Florida. Dr. Krop of Miami is a leading candidate to return to Lakeland out of Miami in 6A while Dwyer from Palm Beach Gardens is the favorite in 5A. Dwyer came in a bit undermanned as 6’5 senior Jacoby Brissett, a member of the City of Palms All-Tournament team and MVP of the Kingdom of the Sun tournament, was in San Antonio for the Under Armor All-American Football Game.

That didn’t seem to matter as Dwyer had a seven point lead after one quarter of play and a ten point lead at the half. In the third, Krop emerged from the locker room to outscore Dwyer 26-14 to take a two point, 48-46 with one quarter remaining to play. With no Brissett and three point ace Victor Adams struggling from the field, Dwyer struggled to stay with Krop. The guard play for Krop was able to keep control of the basketball and knock down foul shots as the game wound down. Krop maintained their lead throughout the final period and finished with a tough 69-61 victory.

The intriguing match-up for the game was the inside battle between two top juniors. Krop’s 6’9 junior Tyrone Haugton is long and athletic but looks small when standing next to 6’10 Joell James from Dwyer. Both players went to work on the block against each other and fortunately the refs let them play.

Haughton finished with 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks. James’ size and ability to muscle him during his shot kept Haughton from getting into an offensive rhythm but he kept at it, hitting a jump hook in the lane and being the recipient of a couple of drop offs from guards that allowed free access to the rim.

James tallied 14 points and 9 rebounds. He also fouled out late in the contest. Very few in high school can move James off the block once he establishes himself. James continues his rapid improvement at the offensive end, showing off a ten foot jumper off the glass and finishing with contact.

Both James and Haughton will be chased by a series of high-major schools this July.

Plus, if you want to read about Diaz punking a bunch of midgets, read on:

"Hialeah Miami Lakes vs. Jupiter

HML came into the game with a size advantage as Jupiter was without 6’9 sophomore Grant Pelchen and 6’4 junior Tyler Cameron to battle inside against Kansas State recruit Adrian Diaz. The Warriors kept it close thru most of the first quarter. However, Diaz and 6’4 senior Maurice Williams were able to score inside and after one quarter HML led by eight at 20-12. The Trojans extended their lead throughout the contest. Jupiter tried to battle back behind 6’1 senior Josh Schattie but in the end HML won by a score of 64-51.

Diaz of HML finished with 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks. His first basket of the game was a three pointer and he had a few thunderous dunks on offensive rebounds and in transition. Diaz (or “Flacco” which means “thin” in Spanish) needs to add strength and a reliable post move but will be a good fit at Kansas State next season."

If this staff was able to make Darren Kent relevant inside, I will maintain faith they can coach up big men.

Those kids are like 10 games into their sophomore years. Bigs often take a little while to get things going at this level.

Thomas Robinson sure looks improved from last year?

Smith reiterates he has no leaders:

"Smith's offer list has grown to include a host of programs, including Cincinnati, Florida State,
Kansas State, Missouri, Ole Miss, South Carolina, UCF, and West Virginia. Tennessee and Florida are also hot on his trail, and Gator head coach Billy Donovan recently hinted to Smith that an offer could be forthcoming."

Transfer from ACD still drastically decreases our chances of landing him.*

Dingle update, no mention of KSU Cats:

"Currently Dingle is in no rush to make a decision and says he doesn't have a timeline for when a decision will be made. However, his list of schools is a pretty solid group including Xavier, Massachusetts, Arizona, Kentucky, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Rutgers, Providence, Georgetown, Pittsburgh, Iowa State, West Virginia, Seton Hall and Cincinnati."

Dominique Wilson from Kansas City. ESPN rates him the 2nd best recruit in ks in 2012 and a 95 overall/4 star.............. No schools listed. Is this a Willie Reed 2.0?

Wilson actually transferred to Maine Central Institute, and to the best of my knowledge, he's still there(on the current MCI roster at least). Linked below is a preview of their team but I couldn't find any in-season stats:

"Up front the team will have a solid duo of Rafael Maia and Dominique Wilson. Maia, a bruising 6’9” center has the strength and physicality to bang on the block with virtually anyone in class AAA and the skills to score his fair share of points. Wilson has as much natural talent as anyone on the roster but may need to be brought along slowly as the junior from Kansas City only turned 16 in May."

http://www.newenglandrecruitingreport.com/news/article/1669/Prep-Profile-Maine-Central-Institute.php

Rivals has him ranked 131 nationally and there's a couple good updates(free) on him that can be found in his profile linked below. Obviously he's a known entity among recruiting circles, but the apparent lack of interest at this point is interesting, really tough to speculate what the casue of that may be.
