Anthony Davis Kentucky Basketball Recruit

I went to see Anthony Davis of Perspectives(Chicago) play for the first time last week in the Chicago Public Schools Holiday Tournament. I have to first of all say I was impressed,his upside is off the charts. He's 6 foot 10 195 pound shooting guard who handles the ball like a point, sees the floor well, and has shooting range to the parking lot. Also rebounds and blocks shots very well. He has to gain weight and also get used to his height. You see last year at this time he was a 6 foot 3 shooting guard. That's right: he grew 7 inches in a 6 month time frame. He's still learning how to play on the low block(he has a great turnaround jumper in the post already). He's also still getting used to his body being 6 foot 10. The best use of his ability will be in the future. As it is the game I saw he had 46 points 19 rebounds and 8 blocks in a 74-66 loss to Harper(Chicago),great for somebody still getting used to his height huh? He plays for a team that is very HORRIBLE talent around him. He stayed at the school for academics. How do I know? I asked him and his father the question after the game. I will say for the Kentucky fans you are going to love this kid. He's looking forward to coming to Lexington. You may only have him for 1 year but enjoy that year Kentucky fans. He may not win Mr Basketball (Ryan Boatright,or Wayne Blackshear will probably get that honor) but as far as PROSPECT I feel Anthony Davis is the Number 1 prospect in the country. This is my rant for Christmas Day. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. God Bless.

First 15 days of the Illinois High School Basketball Season

Well a great start to the high school season. Ryan Boatright (Connecticut signee) of East Aurora(Aurora) has a fabulous triple double of 55 points 10 rebounds and 10 steals vs St Charles North in second game of season. Anthony Davis(Kentucky signee) of Perspectives MSA(Chicago) is averaging 38 points a game and has had 1 triple double for an 0-6 team. Wayne Blackshear(Louisville signee) of Defending City Champ Morgan Park(Chicago) is dominating so far in a 2-0 start. Also Mycheal Henry(Illinois signee) of Orr(Chicago) is off to a fabulous start also. As for teams Whitney Young (Chicago) has had a shocking loss to Southeast(Springfield) at the Springfield Shootout. And Defending 4A Champ Simeon(Chicago) is looking like it could be one of the best teams of all time in Illinois in dismantling of Defending 3A Champ Hillcrest(Country Club Hills). Surprise team has been Notre Dame (Niles) with a 7-0 record. Leaders have been Quentin Chievous(son of Missouri All-American Derrick Chievous) and unsigned Rodney Pryor. Also getting help from 3 point specialist Ryan Tompkins. Most disappointing team has been Evanston with a 4-3 record. Tough sledding under new coach Mike Ellis. We will know more after Christmas Tourneys. Chicago Public Schools Tournament will probably be the best in the country even without Whitney Young(Chicago). 50th Annual Proviso West Tournament will be great as usual. This is my rant for today. Happy Holidays to everyone and God Bless.
