There’s a young man out of Tx, that needs to be on that list. He’s the truth, the real deal. He’s goin be making a lot of noise this season, and deserves to be on this list. His name is Brandon Washington,Bastrop (TX), 6-2, SG/SF. He’s very versatile, good size and very athletic. pure talent. He needs to be on this list!!!!!

Matthew Johnson says:
Corey Hawkins (son of Hersey Hawkins) from Estrella Foothills HS in Goodyear, AZ. is being over-looked big time. He is a strong and athletic 6′3″ natural scorer just like his father. His team is the #1 3A team in AZ and has is averaging 30 ppg on the year as a soph. His brother Brandon Hawkins is a senior on the same team and is a quality 6′2″ PG who can also shoot very well. He is being recruited by several mid major programs. But Corey is a definite high major recruit.

Yeah NC has a lot of talented players coming out of this class. At least one of those kids should be on this list, but then again there are probably 10 other kids who could make an argument to be on there too.

People need to start lookin into this kid by the name of Rico Richardson out of Topeka,Kansas. He started varsity as a freshman on a 25-0 that was state champions and ranked 12th by MaxPreps.com. Rico also outscored Brandon Knight at AAU nationals in Orlando in summer of 2006. Richardson led his team to a victory over Knight’s squad. Rico is also taking a leading role on a good Highland Park team this year.

Hey people, yeah there’s talent in the class of 2010. Its my class. I’ve been putting up big numbers my freshmen season and in AAU over in Sac-town over the summer. I was living in Las Vegas playing over there and had a couple colleges talk to me. The point is that dudes that live in parts of the country that not a lot of people know about can ball, I’m tired of not getting recognition at all. The town I live in now only has 8,000 people in it, and I’m just saying there should be a lot more names on that list… SO GET AT ME DAMN

Ya’ll need 2 get at KC for the class of 2010, they have at least 6 or 7 legit players out there. Trevor Releford is the truth he is the little brother of Travis Releford. Rico Richardson, Rodney Givens, Reese Holliday, Mark Braden, and Will Spradling are all good players in their own right. These 6 are considered the elite players of 2010 in KC and they all play for the KC Pump N’ Run 15 and unders.

I don’t know about most of the players, but Reggie Bullock was born 6/4/1990. He’ll be 18 before summer. He’ll be 20 when he plays his first game at unc as a freshman. Typical for that school.

Just wanted to drop a line and show some love to a kid I have watched play against every top player on your PUNKS list out of the class of 2010. His name is Jordan Sibert 6′4 pg/sg out of Cincinnati’s Princeton High School. At 15yrs old, his game right now is off the chart, he can stroke the ball from any where and I have personally seen him go over top of 6′10 kids and subjected them to one of your slam posters. By the year 2009-2010 trust me you will be giving him a call.

Coach Wilkes says:
You all need to look at this young man from La Grange, Texas. His name is Collin Weyand. He was the starting point guard on varsity as a sophomore. He is also on an elite AAU team out of Austin. He can play any position from the 1 to the five. He is 6′1′’ and had nice speed, very nice handles, and is extremely versatile.

Brittaney Ayers says:
My little brother needs to be on this list. He is the most under-rated guard in Memphis. Just because he hasnt went to camps or been on winning teams doent mean he isnt good, because i will promise you that he is very hard to stop!

craig wilkes says:
There is a kid from the northeast pennsylvania area by the name Reneir Riddick. He is about a 5′9 inch point guard with great quickness and court vision. Watch out for this kid!

David "Cop A Feel" says:
When’s this kid Phil Pressey going to get some shine in SLAM magazine? Kid is 5′7″ 155 lbs and making players much bigger than him look dumb. This guy is a pure point guard with a tremendous basketball IQ. He can pass, and has an outstanding handle. His shot is coming along and he has a nifty floater he seems to get over bigger defenders. If he can grow a bit more, he’ll be a real problem for opposing teams.
