2014 Nate Mason 6’0″ Guard LNH Notes: Combo guard who may do quite well as a point guard in college. Small, but can be tough and assertive. Sometimes looks great, sometimes not so great – certainly a player we could see sneaking up Minnesota’s list of 2014 targets. – 7/19/13 + Nike EYBL: CP3 in […]

2014 Ja’Quan Newton 6’2″ Combo Guard Committed to Miami (Fla.). LNH Notes: More of a slashing 2-guard look at this point, but PG / combo in college is likely.

Is Macura a “shooter”? […]

2014 Tyus Jones 6’1 PG LNH Notes: Gifted passer and all around basketball player who makes everyone around him better. Smart, skilled and tough player. Although he’s received praise for years and is held in extremely high regard, Tyus may prove to be even better than many realize. Exceptional talent. Legit. + Nike EYBL: Plays […]

2014 Sandy Cohen 6’5″ Guard LNH Notes: Long, slim guard with a versatile skill set. Could help at point guard, but we view him as more of a wing who can handle and pass the ball in college. Defensively he should be able to cover a variety of assignments. Solid player in a lot of […]
