Article 321: Tip Off: Final Day

July 16, 2012

The top 2015 prospects were on display at the Nor Cal Summer Tip Off at City College of San Francisco on Sunday, while yet another rising senior is leaving the state to finish his high school career.

EJ Floreal 6-foot-4 Wing Palo Alto (2013) Lakeshow Black 17: Floreal looked strong and quick as he is comfortable handling the ball. A more consistent perimeter game could take his game to a new level. Floreal confirmed that Cal Poly SLO offered him while Hawaii, Oregon, and Portland State are interested in him. He also stated that he is leaving Palo Alto to finish up high school in the state of Kentucky.

Albert Waters 5-foot-10 PG St. Ignatius (2013) Bay Area Warriors 17U: Waters plays hard and competes intensely. He is a pass first point guard. Waters may be a better football prospect as he plays defensive back and wide receiver.

Kevin Murray 5-foot-9 PG Mission (2013) Bay Area Warriors 17U: The left hander is quick and can break down defenders on the dribble. He hit several perimeter shots. He runs the team well but his size will determine his recruiting.

Jack Gale 6-foot-5 Wing University (2014) Bay Area Warriors 16U: The junior to be averaged close to ten points a game this past season. He needs to add weight to play at the next level. He will probably be the largest player on University but will be used primarily as a wing.

Henry Caruso 6-foot-4 Wing Serra (2013) Lakeshow Black 17: The wing can do a little of everything well. He has the size to play physical inside but also can play on the perimeter. Caruso has a midrange game but also can dribble to the paint and pull up for smarter shots. Hawaii has shown interest recently.

Andre Miller 5-foot-11 PG Serra (2013) Bay Area Bulls: Miller is a steady point guard who has a good frame but may be undersize for his height. He can take on contact when going to the paint. He moves his feet well on defense.

Justyce Key 6-foot-0 PG Berkeley (2013) Oakland Kings 2013: The wiry guard is a fierce defender as he is not shy about crowding his opponent. He is lean but can hold his own weight. He was aggressive with his offense but will likely be a point guard prospect.

LJ Moore 6-foot-2 PG Central (2013) Chaos 17U: Moore is super quick and athletic. He had a breakaway reverse dunk to highlight that ability. Moore is a top football prospect in the country as a cornerback.

Jovante Carlton 6-foot-2 SG El Cerrito (2014) Oakland Soldiers 15s: El Cerrito is loaded but Carlton may break the rotation. He has good size and handles the ball well.

Kellen Simpson 6-foot-0 PG Sacramento (2014) Team Sage Truth: Simpson is very steady and calm in his way of directing the team. He moves his feet and can contain the opposing guard.

Robert O'Reilly 6-foot-2 G Campolindo (2015) Oakland Soldiers 16s: O'Reilly was recently called up from the 15s squad and for good reason. He hit several perimeter shots in the two day period. He dribbles with great intensity and sprints the floor. He believes that he will be a point guard at the next level but is versatile enough to be a scoring option.

Lee Reed 6-foot-4 F Cosumnes Oaks (2015) PHPS Renegades: Reed may be a hidden gem no longer. The Sacramento area player is versatile as he has the skills to play inside or outside. He was on varsity as a freshman but already has drawn interest from Pacific and Southern Utah per his club coach.

Marcelas Perry 5-foot-7 PG Capital Christian (2014) Play Hard Play Smart 16s: Perry is another undersized point guard but runs the team well. He is good with his dribble and plays well with contact.

Mitch Love 6-foot-3 PG St Ignatius Prep (2013) PHPS Renegades: Love is a leader at point guard and is a clutch player. He has a big frame for a point guard that allows him to overpower smaller guards and help with defense and rebounding.

Lance Coleman II 6-foot-5 Wing St Mary's Stockton (2015) Oakland Soldiers 15s: Coleman is rail thin but has a long wingspan. He hit several perimeter shots and would be hard to defend with his length. Adding weight would be his biggest priority.
