I posted his stats in the draft thread. Good news that finally one of our prospects is doing really well in these All Star games and getting a lot of praise by the scouts. Birch did well in the McDonald's game and the Jordan Brand game but it is still hard to find people with good things to say about him.

Andrew Wiggins

21 points, 10 rebs, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal, 1 TO, 29 minutes and 9-16 FG.

Wiltjer was 3-9 FG. 8 points, 5 rebs, 1 assist, 2 turnovers in 18 minutes.

According to Huntington Prep head coach Rob Fulford, 4-star wing Negus Webster-Chan has decided to re-open his recruitment and is no longer committed to Louisville.

This is very strange to me. Louisville is a great choice and I seriously did not think he was good enough for them in the one game I saw him play. He better know something that the rest of us don't. I always thought there was a chance that him and Jankovic would go to West Virginia together and maybe that is now a possibility.

Khem Birch, C (Montreal, Can./Notre Dame Prep)
Birch is a Canadian native who became an immediate star upon arriving in New England in the spring of 2008 thanks to his length and freakish athleticism. The gradual evolution of his all-around game had him ranked as the second best junior in the country coming into this year, only to pull a surprise when he signed with Pittsburgh and announced he was reclassifying to 2011. He'll make his most immediate contributions on the defensive end next year, while continuing to develop his interior skills on the offensive end.

• Team Final (Pa.) defeated CIA Bounce (Can.) in the U-16 tournament championship. 2013 PF Austin Colbert (Elizabeth, N.J./St. Patrick) had 12, while 2013 WF Davon Reed (Ewing, N.J./ Princeton Day School), 2013 WF John Davis (Neumann Goretti) and 2013 WF Rondae Jefferson (Chester, Pa./Chester) each had 10 for Team Final. 2013 PG Tyler Ennis (St. Benedict) had 20 for Bounce.

• CIA Bounce upended Team Takeover 65 to 61 in the U-15 championship. • PF Jalen Robinson (Columbus, Ohio./ Northland) of All Ohio Red 17's is one of the best low-post scorers in the 2012 class. He has great feet and wonderful post moves. It is rare that you find a player you can just dump the ball down to and he can get you a bucket. Robinson is one of those players.

Thanks for using this guys, no ones been posting here lol.

Negus and Stef going to West Virginia is very unlikely. Louisville is a great school and your right, he isn't good enough to play there so why go?? Might have a better chance at going pro dominating on a lower school than getting no PT at Louisville.

rofl Sim Bhullar is 7'5 but he's going to be a terrible NBA player

Kaizen · Post #169 » by **Kaizen** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 6:15 pm

Let's see how he does in college before we put him in the NBA.

He is a beast on the defensive end and a good passer. Surprisingly, his weakness in the game I saw is he can not finish at the rim right now.

Are we talking about Sim here???

Strange that Rivals ranks Khem Birch the best PF of the 2011 class while every other recruiting service and articles say its James McAdoo.

Kaizen · Post #176 » by **Kaizen** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 6:54 pm

Do you have a link? The only one I can find is very old and from August 2010.

I only care about ESPN and Scout anyways. Josh Selby was Rival's #1 player last year. That was a great decision.

Negus is a cool name. Awesome.

That was his rank in 2012 class.

They have not moved players like Rodney Purvis, Khem Birch and Alex Murphy to their new classes even though in articles they acknowledge the changes.
