Wow.  More proof the staff is doing stuff.

–Fort Myers, another hometown school, looks like a complete victim on paper and in warmups. ACD has K-State commits Wally Judge (Jake’s boy) and Rodney McGruder (both DC Assault products), a 6-9 big who can do just about anything on the court (when he wants to) and a 6-5 scoring wing, respectively–not to mention role players who would be superstars if they played for Fort Myers. That said, Fort Myers has at least one kid who looks the part in 6-10 center Joshkema Nicholas.

Well, hmmmm, let's see.....you know who else played for 4 different schools in 4 seasons of highschool?  Michael Beasley and Kevin Durant.  So, yeah, he's good.

I like that we're placing him   Don't like that Frank is so loyal he'll prolly take him even if he doesn't pan out in juco 

[sys]

Don't like that Frank is so loyal he'll prolly take him even if he doesn't pan out in juco 

i count him as a 2012 kstate commit and a 2014 nba commit.

Kansas State is heavily involved with Heart and Hustle 16-Under point guard Ian Baker.

not much available on this mention.  aau & hs (arlington county day) teammate of carlos morris and shawn smith.  seems to be the least heralded of the three.  h&h florida 16us has a ton of acd players on it.



the pic below is of an ian baker, presumably the same one.

confirmed as the same ian baker.

heart and hustle

and talent?

[sys]

and talent?

you don't get moved from dc to start at acd as a soph without some talent.  furthermore, acd was pretty good this year with a 3 soph backcourt, and that same group has been impressive in florida aau as h&h this spring.

the difficulty with the team success is separating out baker's impact.  but, it looks like he's going to be playing a decent schedule this spring and summer, so he we should hear more.  he isn't being hidden like rod-tri.

wesley staten has decommitted from isu again, presumably somewhat more permanently.  however, he seems to be running with kingdom hoops now, instead of the cowboys.

possible name to watch - torian graham from dca/north carolina.  he's a little bigger than his brother, tyree, a former kstate recruit.  He's also attracting more early attention.  i'm not sure kstate really needs a wing/combo in the 2012 class, but if they're truly recruiting baker hard, perhaps?

a recent rivals mention:

Torian Graham of Durham Hillside High put on some impressive scoring displays while playing for D.C. Assault 16s. He had 17 points in the title game, and scored in the mid-20s in at least two other contests.

Graham, who is the younger brother of recent UAB signee Tyree Graham, scores very easily, whether leaping for alley-oops, pulling up off the bounce or shooting smoothly from three-point range. Xavier, East Carolina and Massachusetts, were among the schools that came to see Graham at Hillside High in April.

Graham's body will get bigger and stronger in time, but the sophomore quickly showed that he's worthy of the buzz that has been growing about his game over the last year in the Triangle. He just hasn't played on the big stage a lot, missing this year's Carolina Challenge, but it's clear he's a big-time talent and one to watch in the future.

Wasn't Tyree more of an elfish PG type?
