Article 351: Super 100 Updates

October 14, 2013

The Annual Super 100 Basketball Camp held at El Cerrito High this past weekend featured its usual morning training sessions with afternoon games. Traditionally, only the top college prospects representing each high school class from Northern California are invited to participate. Here is a look at some of the talent and recruiting updates from the event.

Shon Briggs 6-foot-5 SF Heritage (2014): Briggs is skilled all around as his footwork, dribbling, and perimeter game is coming along. He holds offers from Nevada and San Jose State while hearing from CSU Northridge, Grand Canyon, Montana State, and Portland.

Trevor Dunbar 5-foot-10 PG St. Ignatius (2014): The shifty left-handed point guard has made inroads on his perimeter game. Dunbar has offers from Florida A&M and Prairie A&M while in contact with Cal Poly, CSU Northridge, Fairfield, Fresno State, Long Island, Miami Ohio, and San Diego. He wants to be at a place where he can contribute as a freshman.

Jiday Ugbaja 5-foot-11 PG Archbishop Riordan (2014): The senior displayed a more controlled style of play and better decision making while his perimeter jumpshot was cleaner in its release. Ugbaja has offers from Citadel, Sacramento State, and Tulane while still in contact with Pacific, Navy, St. Mary's, and UC Santa Barbara.

Mike Pickney 5-foot-11 PG Newark Memorial (2014): Pickney has gotten bigger and also shown improvement in his jumper and perimeter ball defense. Pickney will be a good addition to the Newark backcourt as he transferred from the St. Mary's Berkeley program.

Micah Elan 6-foot-2 G Lick Wilmerding (2016): The sophomore played composed and showcased a complete guard skill set. He dribbles tight and made crisp passes while being aggressive attacking the rim. Elan moves his feet well on defense and has a strong frame.

Oscar Frayer 6-foot-6 F Moreau Catholic (2016): Frayer is athletic and plays with intensity. The sophomore finishes well in the open court and will be one of the top players in the 2016 class. He will lead a talented but young Moreau team in the upcoming season.

Peter Hewitt 6-foot-9 PF St. Francis (2016): Hewitt has good size and movement as it shows in his rebounding and blocked shots. He runs the floor well and can play above the rim with ease. His offensive arsenal needs work but he has time to develop.

Ben Kone 6-foot-7 PF Archbishop Mitty (2016): Kone Has bulked up and chiseled out his frame. This has helped his rebounding, running the floor, and finishing in the post. After one year at Salesian, he is moving south due to his parent's employment situation.

Brandon Lawrence 6-foot-2 SG Moreau Catholic (2016): Lawrence is wiry with a smooth perimeter release on his jumper. He plays smart and is under control with his dribble and makes good passes.

Sayeed Pridgett 6-foot-4 SF El Cerrito (2016): Pridgett is another one of those long, athletic wing players who runs the court well, can dribble adequately, and finish at the basket. Only a sophomore, he will have the time to add bulk and height in addition to improving his rebounding position and defensive footwork.

Chiefy Ugbaja 6-foot-3 SF Archbishop Riordan (2014): The undersized forward still plays with great hustle and intensity but has also made improvements in his offensive game including his handle, passing, and shooting stroke. The senior who has looks from CSU Monterey Bay and Portland will lead Riordan into Division III play in the upcoming season.

Damari Milstead 6-foot-0 PG Moreau Catholic (2017): The freshman looks advanced for his age in terms of physical size, basketball skills, and mental control on the court. He goes to the paint with ease and finishes well. Milstead is slated to be the starting point guard on his Moreau team.

Jayce Johnson 6-foot-9 Post Mater Dei (2016): The Southern California attendee has a good frame and moves well for his size. He showcased a nice off hand hook shot in the paint. Johnson is not flashy in his style of play but is fundamentally sound for his age as he holds an early offer from CSU Northridge.

Alfred Hollins 6-foot-5 SF Sacred Heart Cathedral (2017): The San Francisco product is advanced at his age in size and skill. He is active and shoots the ball well. Hollins will be one of the top prospects in the 2017 class.

Kendall Mcintosh 6-foot-7 SG Freedom (2015): The junior is active and aggressive in his play as he was not afraid to rebound and shoot in the paint despite being wiry in his frame. Mcintosh will complement Elliot Smith on a tough Freedom team this upcoming season.

Arash Poorsia 6-foot-8 PF St. Ignatius (2016): The sophomore has a solid frame that he threw around in the paint as he hustles and rebounds well. He also runs the court and has a respectable midrange game. Poorsia needs to develop in the post but will be a good inside option on a sleeper St. Ignatius team.
