For the high school level, the club season commences with the college evaluation period where NCAA coaches can view future recruits. Day 1 of the Fifth Annual Nor Cal Spring Showcase at Jamtown in Oakland had five games on each of the four courts.
In April, the college basketball season concludes with a champion while NBA teams begin their playoff passage. For the high school level, the club season commences with the college evaluation period where NCAA coaches can view future recruits. Day 1 of the Fifth Annual Nor Cal Spring Showcase at Jamtown in Oakland had five games on each of the four courts.
Here are some players of note on Day 1:
Jaden and Jovon Mcclanahan 5-foot-9 G Splash City 15
(Salesian) 2019: The twins play interchangeably and similarly as they both
control the tempo well on offense while being disruptive on the defensive
end. Both can drive and finish well in
the paint with contact. Salesian is
young and talented for the next few years.
Kaleb Hedstrom 6-foot-8 West Valley 16 (San Lorenzo) 2019:
The sophomore-to-be has good size and footwork.
Hedstrom is a back to the basket player who rebounds well and uses his
size for post scoring.
Daniel Bessolo 6-foot-4 Wing Bay Area Warriors Gold (Castro
Valley) 2017: The 2017 product is athletic and versatile for size. He rebounds well and was able to finish
around the rim. Bessolo also competes in
track after the basketball season.
Nick Lombardi 5-foot-10 PG Red and Black Basketball 17U
(Justin-Siena) 2017: Lombardi is a solid floor leader with a good shot. The Prolific Prep prospect also displays
tenacious perimeter defense.
Miles Tention 6-foot-4 PG Palo Alto Midnight (Palo Alto)
2017: The Palo Alto product has a balanced game as he has good size for a guard
as he rebounds well and plays in control.
He has grown almost half a foot in the past year to increase his
recruiting stock.
Shemar Morrow 6-foot-4 Wing Oakland Soldiers 15U (Sacramento
Country Day) 2020: The current Sacramento middle school product is headed to La
Mirada. Morrow plays with athleticism
and strength beyond his age. If his
basketball skills development can match his physical skill level, then Morrow
could be a high level recruit.
Tony Covington 5-foot-9 PG Bay Area Warriors Gold (Mt. Eden)
2017: The undersized guard can create on the dribble and finish at the
rim. He has good quickness and directs
the team well.
Kyree Walker 6-foot-5 Wing Oakland Soldiers 15U (St. Martin
De Porres) 2020: The Hayward native has similar characteristics as Oscar
Frayer. Walker is quite skilled at his
age and is a local product to watch in the 2020 class. He can score inside or outside and has a
frame that can evolve well for the college game.
Colby Orr 6-foot-0 PG Red and Black Basketball 17U (De La
Salle) 2017: Orr does a little of everything and is a glue guy type of
player. The team focus is consistent
with the De La Salle program as Orr dribbles well either hand and is steady at
the point guard position. His perimeter
scoring needs to be more consistent.
Notes:
Eric Musselman (Nevada) and Rodney Tention (San Jose State)
were in attendance as their sons were competing with their clubs. Several lower division and junior college
coaches were also in attendance.
Brandon McGee 6-foot-3 G KBA Seniors (Salesian) 2016: McGee
has several Division II and JUCO offers.
The Salesian product is playing into the summer to see if any other
offers come up.
Nikhil Peters 6-foot-4 Wing KBA Seniors (De La Salle) 2016:
Another unsigned senior, Peters is a productive guard that can provide instant offense. His academic status has been squared away and
he is playing into the summer seeking additional offers.
