The top 8 are good but there is one kid from NYC that deserves to be in the top 10 and that’s Jayvaughn Pinkston from Brooklyn’s Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School.

Finally proof of Aaron Cooper’s worthiness is available for viewing. Of course I made a point about Aaron after my camp last summer which you can see in videos on my site but I have a clip of one of his high school games vs Jacksonville H.S. in Arkansas. Visit my site www.centercourtbasketball.com/ccbtv/index.html
Click on the link below and go to the North Pulaski vs Jackasonville game. Aaron is number one on the blue squad. When it gets to around 3 minutes I stop editing and let the next minute and a half roll. Aaron Cooper scores 15 points in a minute and a half. This kid may not be on a national stage like a lot of his peers but his game is very good and he is definitely one of the best ballers in the South. I also have video of your 5th ranked kid Joe Jackson on the same station so take a look at that as well.

For all the JT Terrell fans, if you do a little research, you’ll see that he was in my first top 10. I just need to see him more, but I love his game.
Davidc: Jayvaughn is tough, but I’m not sure he’s the best sophomore on his team. Devon Lamb…
CCB: I was in Jackson a few weeks ago on MLK Day and I saw your boy Jeverick Nelson (see, I remember) play. He had a good game, but as far as being high-major, as I remember you saying, I have to disagree. You’re doing a great thing by trying to expose these kids, but what’s your purpose? If you wanna get them looks, send your videos to college coaches and get them to come see them play. If you want them to get exposure, have them go play against the big names. Just my opinion.
Boyz: I don’t think Brandon is related to the Jersey Knights either, but I could be wrong.

Melvin Tabb and Emanuel ‘Poobie Chapman” are the best kids I’ve seen in 2010. They dont get the props they should now that there team split with D-1 Sports. The have a new team called the NC Raptors Select in Raleigh, nc, That team is nice.

What does everyone think of Royce Woolridge? He just committed to KU (youngest scholarship offer in school history). He puts up a TON of points, and likely is going to grow a couple more inches at least (dad was 6′9 and in the NBA, mom is tall too- he’s around 6′2 right now). Anybody seen him play?
