The 3rd Annual Bay Area Memorial Day Classic started pool play on Saturday at City College of San Francisco. The Elite Division featured 30 teams mostly from Northern California as seeding would be determined for bracket play on Sunday. Here are some player updates.
Spencer Rust 6-foot-9 F Monte Vista (Lakeshow Elite 17) 2014: The junior is lanky and thin but has nice length on his perimeter shot. He passes well and does not make bad decisions. Per his club coach, Rust has a 4.5 weighted GPA while Denver and several Ivy League programs have expressed interest.
Temidayo Yussuf 6-foot-7 F St Joseph (Oakland Rebels 17) 2014: Yussuf plays bigger than his height but has good bulk and can still be fairly agile. He hustles and rebounds well. Per Yussuf, he has offers from Montana State, Pacific, and UC Davis while Colorado State, CSU Northridge, Montana, Northern Colorado, Santa Clara, Weber State, and Wichita State are in contact.
Jack Gale 6-foot-5 Wing University (Bay Area Warriors 17U) 2014:
The junior has a clean perimeter shot but needs to add a dribble drive game or ability to create own shot. He needs to add some bulk as well. Per his club coach, DIII programs have been inquiring.
Frankie Ferrari 5-foot-11 PG Burlingame (Lunardis 17) 2014: The junior is a fearless scorer who is always in attack mode. He plays defense in the same manner. Per Ferrari, several low and mid DI programs have contacted him as he is transferring back to Burlingame from Riordan.
David Hobbs 6-foot-5 SF Carlmont (Golden City SF) 2013: Hobbs is a heady player who makes good decisions and displayed a nice perimeter game. The senior played aggressively and has a good frame.
John Robertson 6-foot-8 Post Laguna Creek (PHPS Renegades) 2015: The sophomore has good size, length, and athleticism. He is still raw in his all around skills but has time to develop. Robertson plans to transfer to Laguna Creek where national prospect Malik Pope can help spread the floor and increase exposure.
Troy Rike 6-foot-8 Post St Ignatius (Golden City SF) 2014: The junior displayed some nice post moves including ball fakes and a turnaround shot. His lateral footwork and athleticism can be better but he has low college level size.
Jordan Ratinho 6-foot-3 SG De La Salle (Greenline) 2016: The freshman has good size and lateral movement as he was playing the shooting guard position. He made some good inside and outside offensive moves and displayed tough defense. The DLS prospect looks promising to develop.
Leo Smith 5-foot-10 PG Oakland Tech (Lunardis 17) 2013: Smith is a scorer who can get to the basket aggressively but has a respectable perimeter shot. He plays frenetically on both ends. Per Smith, he will be going to Casper Junior College in Wyoming.
Seth Snoddy 6-foot-7 PF Lincoln (SF Rebels 17) 2014: Snoddy has a mobile and athletic body but also plays strong as a rebounder in the post. His perimeter game or post game needs more options to expand his offensive skills.
Patrick Marr 6-foot-7 PF De La Salle (Greenline) 2014: Marr will be the post anchor for next season's Spartan team. He hustles for rebounds and throws his body around. He has good size but could add to his offensive and perimeter skills.
Buster Souza 6-foot-6 F Acalanes (Lakeshow Elite 17) 2014: The junior is an undersized power forward but hustles and rebounds tenaciously. He needs to add to his offensive and perimeter skills. Per his club coach, DII schools have expressed interest.
Christian Munoz 6-foot-6 SF Cordova (PHPS Renegades) 2014: Munoz has good size and mobility at his position as he rebounds well and hustles. He has a respectable midrange game as well.
Anthony Townes 6-foot-6 SF Modesto Christian (Oakland Soldiers 17 Blue) 2015: The sophomore has good size and length for the forward position. He is active and athletic. Adding to his perimeter skills and some low post moves would help round out his skill set.
Ian Miller 6-foot-7 PF Sheldon (PHPS Elite) 2016: Miller is an interesting inside-outside player as he could score by both methods. He displayed good lateral movement and agility. The freshman looks to be a face up type of player.
