POOL PLAY GAME 3: Las Vegas Prospects - Saturday 2:50PM – McKale Court 1
Notes:
2009 small forward Aaron Moore is ranked 89th in the country by Rivals.com.
2009 shooting guard Tim Harris currently holds offers from Pepperdine, Santa Clara, San Diego, Nebraska and San Diego State. While strong offensively, Harris is known more for his ability to play defense.
2009 Point guard Aalim Moore is committed to San Jose State.
2009 forward Niyi Harrison is committed to Santa Clara. He may be a bit underrated, as his athleticism and ability to rebound likely would have been attractive to major schools had he been on the major AAU circuit longer.
I-Can All Stars
Schedule:
POOL PLAY GAME 1: Bay Area Hoosiers - Friday 8:20PM – Bear Down Court 3
POOL PLAY GAME 2: Las Vegas Prospects - Saturday 11:20AM – Bear Down Court 2
POOL PLAY GAME 3: Wisconsin Playground Elite - Saturday 1:40PM – McKale Court 3
Notes:
While there may not be any Top 100 players, I-Can is an athletic team that could give opponents fits.
2010 forward Moses Morgan is one of the better sophomores in Nevada and as he matures, could become one of the better players in the west.
