The Nor Cal Summer Tip Off started its two day event at City College of San Francisco on Saturday. Over 30 college coaches attended the event to evaluate high school talent. Here is our scouting report from Day 1.
Rae Jackson 6-foot-3 PG El Cerrito (2013) Bay Area Magic: The Rodriguez transfer was apt at scoring inside or outside. He has a quick first step on his dribble drive. He fades away on his perimeter jump shot to give him space but does not seem to lose accuracy. Despite his scoring ability, he expects to be a point guard at the college level. He will make the trip with his Oakland Soldiers club for Peach Jam.
Blair Mendy 6-foot-3 PG Bellarmine (2013) Bay Area Bulls: Mendy is long with a good wingspan that helps with his rebounding and defense. He is a pass first guard who makes solid decisions. Per his club coach, Mendy is drawing interest as a guard and even as a wing from Ivy League schools if he can put on some weight.
Marquis Godfrey 6-foot-5 PF (2014) North Coast Express: Godfrey is long and lean but runs the floor well. He is a quick jumper and active around the basket. He broke his arm this past season but should see some major minutes in the upcoming season.
Brandon Thompson 6-foot-4 Wing Christian Brothers (2014) Team Sage Truth: Thompson plays fundamentally solid, has good size, and plays defense. He seems to play more in the post but has enough ball handling to be a perimeter prospect. His ball handling and offensive game will affect his recruiting.
Tim Jordan 6-foot-3 Wing Liberty (2013) Oakland Kings: The Liberty prospect is active in getting rebounds and hustles. He has the athleticism, size, and quickness to be a shooting guard but will need to display more consistent ball handling and perimeter shooting.
Lucas Vodka 6-foot-8 Post Nevada Union (2013) Davis Wildcats Elite 17: Vodka has a long wingspan and moves reasonably well for his size. He needs to bulk weight as he looks to be a back to the basket type of player. He is raw but his age and size work in his favor.
Desean Parsons 6-foot-6 Wing (2013) Play Hard Play Smart 16s: Grant looks to be loaded next season as Parson will be a good wing prospect for them. He plays the post for his summer club but looks to be an athletic slasher who runs the floor well and hustles on plays. His perimeter game can go a long way in determining his recruiting stock.
Jamaryion Simmons 6-foot-4 F Sheldon (2014) Team Sage Truth: The Sheldon prospect dribbles and passes well for his size. He needs to slim down and will he get any minutes on a loaded Sheldon roster next season.
Gabriel Vincent 6-foot-1 SG St. Mary's Stockton (2014) Oakland Soldiers 16U: Vincent hit several perimeter shots with good form. He slashes to the basket and runs the fast break well. Per his club coach, he has been the most consistent and complete player on the team during the offseason.
Raymond Bowles 6-foot-4 SG Modesto Christian (2013) Lakeshow Black 17: Bowles was sporting the mohawk but the added bulk in his frame was more noticeable. Already a skilled shooter and dribble drive scorer, his extra bulk will allow him to more accurate with his drives and give him post up advantages against smaller guards. His Modesto Christian team is loaded but he can still easily average 20 points a game next season.
Nate Amundsen 6-foot-5 PF Clovis East (2014) Organized Chaos 16U: The stocky Fresno based product is a lights out shooter. He plays smart but can slim down a bit to increase his stamina and agility. Per his club coach, Amundsen already has one college offer and he is easily the best perimeter shooter on any of the Chaos teams which is one of the better club teams overall.
John Robertson 6-foot-6 PF Orestimba (2015) Bay Area Magic: Only finishing his freshman year, Robertson shows much potential with his length, running, and jumping. He is still thin but has time to bulk up. He elevates with ease and had a few put back dunks. His perimeter skills development will dictate if he is a back to the basket or face up prospect.
Brandon Evers 6-foot-7 PF Enterprise (2014) Nor Cal Warriors 16U: The Redding resident has a big frame and knows how to use it to create space to score in the paint. He has reasonably good hands and is light on his feet.
Aaron Cameron 6-foot-0 G Sacramento (2013) Lakeshow White 17: Cameron is athletic and quick with good ball handling. He has an accurate and quick shooting release. He played above the rim in a few instances.
Cameron Oliver 6-foot-7 Post Grant (2014) Spirit Got Game Elite: The post prospect made two laser passes from outside the arc into the paint that were impressive assists. He does a lot of the things that one would want a prototypical post player to do. The Grant player should easily average a double double next season.
Devon Eisley 6-foot-6 PF El Cerrito (2015) Oakland Soldiers 15: El Cerrito looks to be stock piling talent for the next few years as Eisley runs the floor well and rebounds well for his size and position. He is still raw on offense but has the time to develop.
Joe Harrison 6-foot-2 SG Lincoln Stockton (2014) 209 Elite: Harrison has a lot of positives going for him as he went above the rim a few times and has solid jumping ability. He has a good frame and can go to the basket fearlessly. Development of his perimeter game and a few more inches in the next few years can really make him a complete scorer.
Devin Koeplin 5-foot-9 PG Dublin (2013) Davis Wildcats Elite 17: Koeplin is undersized as a point guard but make sup for it with his ball handling, passing, defense, and offensive skills. He plays fundamentally sound and directs traffic well. He has been a starter for Dublin since his sophomore year.
Malek Wren 5-foot-8 PG Grant (2013) Spirit Got Game Elite: Wren is undersized but hit a few open three point shots. He plays hard and runs the offense with good ball handling and quickness.
Michael Eggleton 5-foot-11 PG College Park (2013) Lakeshow Black 17: Another undersized point guard, Eggleton displayed all the other fundamentals expected of a point guard. He has good dribbling, passes well, directs the team, and has a perimeter shot to keep defenses honest.
