I posted some comments on Matt Roth on the AAU Matt Roth thread so I won't repeat them here. I thought I would mention a few other things I saw at the event. Most of these are comments on players I think Bradley is or has recruited.
Scott Suggs-St. Louis Eagles-I was really impressed with Suggs. Good quickness, good outside shot, not a real ball hog. BU coaches were at the one game of his I watched so they are still working on him or someone else on the team.
Matt Humphries-Mean Streets-He also looks good on a pretty good team. Decent size good shot, but I think he is probably aiming higher-No BU coaches at the one game of his I watched but that was Fri night and many college coaches did not show until Sat.
LA Pomlee-Martin Bros AAU-You can tell he was unable to play until recently. His conditioning did not seem to be outstanding. He looked better in the first game of his I watched than the second. The downside is that his shot needs a lot of work. He is a lefty so that always looks awkward to me and his free throws looked really poor. However, he looks reasonably strong, very agile, can run the floor.
Tyler Storm-Martin Bros-He looks strong and can run the floor. However, I have to admit I was not very impressed. Not a great outside shot. I'm not sure I see so much upside on him.
As a side note I was expecting Martin Bros to be pretty strong. I watched them twice and they lost both of their first two games-I was not impressed. BU coaches were at both Martin Bros games.
Dwight Buycks-M33M Magic-I nearly did not find him because he was not playing with the Compton Magic Team from CA-which is where I thought he would be playing. M33M Magic is from TN but in AAU basketball I am not sure that matters. He was playing point and looked quick and distributed the ball well. He did not take many shots-and a few were forced. He did not take any long range jumpers and I thought he had a few opportunities. I should mention that everyone was at the game I watched Coach K, Donovan, etc, etc. I don't think they were there to see Dwight but they were there.
I did not see him but I note that Wesley Witherspoon (3 stars, 114 ranked in the class by Rivals) from GA also listed us as one of the programs pursuing him.
I thought both Lewis Jackson and Tyler Zeller looked really good although I don't think we are recruiting either at this point.
The event was great. It was pretty entertaining to see all the coaches (and I mean all the coaches-Coach K, Donovan, Weber, Williams etc). I saw most Valley Coaches-Altmann, Lowrey, the UNI coach. I even saw Porter Moser walking around-maybe talking to the various coaches about a new job ??
The HQ of the event is a Houston High School with a couple of other schools right across the street. They have 7 gyms within about 1/3 of a mile so you can get from one gym to another pretty easily-each game about 60 mins. The only bummer is that they don't have rosters for the general public-the coaches have books from the event but for the rest of us you really need to know what kids look like (or borrow a look at others books).
Eric and Kyle were both there and generally split up and looked at different kids. They were at most of the games I attended but they obviously saw a bunch of others as well.
Sorry I ran on a bit...
