Now that I finally got all my player reports written up here is my recap of players.
Impressive List
Marcus Crider SYF-Looked great this weekend...really athletic and can also shoot. I like those types of players. Also, he has good size at 6'5ish.
Dee Davis Team Indiana-I have been a fan of Davis for years, but I have always wondered if he will be able to do it at the mid-major or higher level because of his height. This weekend he started to prove to me that his lack of height will not matter. He will find a way to get it done.
Tony Springmann Spiece Select-Springmann had a dominating performance over the wealth of height that Team Indiana has on their team. If he adds a face-up game (he has range to 16 feet), then he will be a high-major player. Right now, I would say he is a high-major football recruit.
Mitch McGary SYF-First weekend of the spring for McGary and he looked great. Quick for his size, good range to about 17 feet, ability to finish around the rim with both hands. Big potential if his grades don't hold him back.
Griffin Mckenzie Eric Gordon-Mckenzie showed his full range this past weekend. Hitting a handful of 3's, but he is not soft like a lot of big guys that can shoot. He is more than willing to bang inside and has decent athleticism.
Keith Appling Michigan Mustangs-Appling is ridiculously explosive. Also showed that he can shoot at least at the mid-range. Michigan State has a good one here.
Ray McCallum Jr. Team Detroit- Quicker than I remember, long for a point guard, smart as a coach's son, and also displayed his range behind the arc. Great weekend for Ray.
Terrone Johnson Eric Gordon-Johnson had a very solid weekend. He displayed his full game...driving, mid-range, 3pt. range. He is better than what I saw from him during the high school season.
Those would be my most impressive from the 16U and 17U age groups. I didn't see enough 15's to have a list for them. Also, Erik Fromm ended up committing to Butler University this week.
Spiece Memorial Day tournament this weekend in Fort Wayne. No Indiana Elite teams will be there. I will get a catch to see Spiece Indy Fastbreak who were not at the Adidas May Classic.

AMC Report-Part 6
The last player reports before I do my recap of the Adidas May Classic.
Jeremy Hollowell Spiece Indy Stars-Hollowell is extremely long and a legit 6'5 approaching 6'6. His brother plays at Eastern Illinois. Hollowell's best ability is shooting. He also gets to the rim a lot but struggles to finish at times. He will definitely be a mid-major to high-major prospect.
Kellon Thomas Spiece Indy Stars-Thomas is rated as my top point guard in the 2012 class so far ahead of Yogi Ferrell and D.J. Ballentine. He is strong, tough, makes good decisions and can shoot it.
Rhett Smith Spiece Indy Stars-Rhett is a 6'5 possibly 6'6 SF/PF right now. He has ball handling and perimeter skills but is also good in the post. He plays really hard and rebounds pretty well. I like his game a lot.
Jalen Packer Indiana Elite One-Packer didn't do much this weekend. He is a good slashing guard, but isn't quick enough to do that at the next level. He really needs to improve his shooting to be more than a low-major player.
Alex Pritchett Indiana Elite One-I only saw him rebound and shoot lay-ups this weekend. I didn't see any post moves or face-up moves from him. Probably need to see him again to get a feel for his game.
D.J. Ballentine Eric Gordon All-Stars-I like his game. He can shoot it well and drives the ball well and finishes a high percentage when he gets into the lane. I'm unsure of his quickness/ability to guard the top pg's. Time will tell.
I believe those are all the notes that I had from this weekend. I know it wasn't much but I tried haha
Jeremy Hollowell Spiece Indy Stars-Hollowell is extremely long and a legit 6'5 approaching 6'6. His brother plays at Eastern Illinois. Hollowell's best ability is shooting. He also gets to the rim a lot but struggles to finish at times. He will definitely be a mid-major to high-major prospect.

AMC Report-Part 5
I had another page of notes that I had forgotten about. So there will be a recap in part 6, this report is more player reports.
D'vauntes Smith-Rivera Team Indiana-Solid is always. Here is a comparison that I liked from Jim Reamer...Bloom himself on Peegs. Reamer compared him to Byron Eaton from Oklahoma State saying that Eaton matured early and wasn't particularly good from 3pt. range. Plus I like it because they kind of look alike in the face.
Daniel Turner Indiana Elite (Fox)- 6'6 strong body, jumps well, good 4/3 type for low to mid-major schools. Finishes strongly when in the lane.
Tyler Greathouse Spiece Select-6'8 shooter and that is about it for now. If he is more aggressive on the boards and posting up then he will become a big time player. He has the tools now he just needs to apply them more.
Scott Lascowski Indiana Elite (Fox)- Stock has been dropping since he has no true position and limited skills on the perimeter. The great motor that caught people's attention early has dropped off a bit also.
Marquel Curtis 43 Hoops- Strong, shot well, finished well inside, rebounded aggressively, looked good overall.
Jordan Hahn Spiece Select-When Hahn shoots it well from 3, he is very tough because he makes such good decisions. Needs to work on ball handling against tough pressure and needs to add strength to help defense.
Deng Leek Team Indiana-Leek is stronger than most of the African imports that Indiana Elite gets as he has been in the States for awhile now. Right now, he is still limited to rebounding, dunking, and blocking shots.
Vincent Zollo Team Indiana-Zollo rebounds and plays extremely hard. His skills need a lot of work though.
Levi Garner Team Indiana-6'5 strong, perimeter player that likes to penetrate more than shoot. Garner could be a mid-major if he develops a more consistent shot.
Peter Jurkin Team Indiana 16U-Less muscular version of Deng Leek.
Obij Aget-One of the most impressive dunks of the weekend when he dunked over about 3 guys and with power which was unexpected because he is skinny.
Ben Davisson SYF 16U-Could be a mid-major if he drops some weight but that could conflict with his football and his brother is a D1 football commit.
Akeem Freeman SYF 16U-jumps out of the gym but that seems about it for right now.
I have a handful more reports but I need to go to practice right now. I will post the rest tomorrow along with the weekend recap of most impressive players.

AMC Report-Part 4
Adidas May Classic report continued. These reports are mainly based off of action that took place Sunday which was a great day for basketball.
Dee Davis Indiana Elite Team Indiana-Davis recently got scholarship offers from Xavier and Purdue and he had a great weekend to make those coaches look good. He was unstoppable when he got into the lane finishing over and around defenders all day. He also showed his nice outside stroke and I don't remember him forcing any shots. I'm still worried about his height at th college level.
Jeremiah Davis Indiana Elite Team Indiana-Jeremiah had a good weekend. He took over offensively in the second half against Spiece Select although they still lost. When he looks to take over, he is going to shoot every time down the floor...his distributing skills go out the window which worries me. Overall, a great weekend for Jeremiah though.
Justin Gant Indiana Elite Team Indiana-Gant has all the skills to be a high major player and do well at that level. He isn't aggressive enough for my liking although he had a strong dunk over Tony Springmann in the game against Spiece Select. He settles for 3's way too much and doesn't post enough because he wants to be a perimeter player. College coaches want post skills to go along with perimeter skills for a player like Gant who is 6'8. It is that dual threat that makes him desirable. He needs to be more aggressive on the boards also.
Austin Etherington Indiana Elite Team Indiana-Etherington was a zero factor in the game vs. Spiece Select. It seemed like he was mentally out of it the whole game and when his shots did not fall early he was totally out of it. It makes me question his mental toughness a bit, but still a great prospect.
Tony Springmann Spiece Select-Springmann had a dominating performance against Team Indiana and all their big men. He outrebounded and out fought all of their inside players...him and Vincent Zollo going after it was fun to watch. In my opinion, Springmann ends up playing high-major...football although he will get recruited for high major basketball.
Torrey Nibbs Spiece Select-Nibbs had a great final four game after some disappointing performances earlier in the tournament. The difference was that he was finishing when he got into the lane. Nibbs is so explosive off the dribble he usually gets to the at will it is just a matter of if he finishes or not and a lot of the time he struggles with that. If he finishes consistently and hits mid-range jumpers then he is in the mix for high major...if he can't do those things then I'm not sure he can play at the mid-major level.
Dwight Cliff Spiece Select-Cliff had a break out weekend. He has been battling back injuries all spring and it looked like this weekend he was close to healthy. He is a bull getting to the rim and uses his strength to finish. He has a decent set 3pt shot, but struggles shooting off the dribble.
Max Landis Indiana Elite (Green?)-Landis had a great final four game vs. Spiece Select. He shoot it really well from 3 and also did damage going to the rim. I need to see him more to have a better idea of what level he can play at, but he was impressive on Sunday.
Dontray Chavis Indiana Elite (Green?)-Chavis looked really good Sunday. Inside and outside...he made some nice moves and fakes in the paint to finish a few times. He will need to add more and more outside skill sets while keeping his rebounding and post skills. I was impressed with Chavis.
Jon Trawick Indiana Elite (Green?)-Trawick wasn't overly impressive this weekend although he had powerful 2 hand dunk on Sunday after all the games he had played...that was pretty impressive. The keys for Trawick are his improvement handling the ball, defense, and range. He needs to work hard on all 3 areas.
Ray McCallum Jr. Team Detroit-Ray Ray had a very impressive weekend. Quicker than he looks...he was getting to the rim all weekend and he also showed a great stroke from 3 range. It will be interesting to see what happens with his recruiting with his dad the Head Coach of Detroit.
Justin Martin Derrick Rose-Martin looked unimpressive and lackadaisical to me. He always has that look and body language of "I don't care about this" and it bothers me. He was an early maturer which also makes me question how successful he will be at the next level.
A recap of all the action will be the final report on the Adidas May Classic coming either later tonight or tomorrow depending on how busy I am tonight. If there are any questions about players listed or unlisted, leave a comment and I will see if I can answer your question.

AMC Report-Part 3
Dominique Ferguson SYF-Handled the ball a lot as he wants to become a SG and he handled it ok, but he never just takes the pass and makes an explosive move. He dribbles the ball forever before making a move although when he did finally go somewhere he was effective with it.
Andre Hampton SYF-Streaky shooter that was hot for most of the weekend. He is athletic enough to play SG but he is small for that position at the mid-major and higher levels. I'm not sold that he could play the point.
Jesse Berry SYF-Did more distributing of the ball this weekend and less scoring. He made solid plays down the stretch against EG10. A Butler commitment might be coming soon is the rumor I am hearing.
Xavier Jones SYF-Athletic, but didn't show much else. He drove a lot and came up empty on most attempts. Jones did not do much vs. Eric Gordon All-Stars.
Terrone Johnson Eric Gordon All-Stars-He was very good this weekend. Johnson drove a lot more than I had seen from him in the past which would be a good option to go with his shooting ability. Very strong.
Jake Kitchell SYF-Athletic big man, but not a super athlete. Not enough of an athlete to make up for his lack of offensive skills set. He was not a threat offensively from any range this weekend. Could be a good low to mid-major player.
Enique Mason SYF-Mason has lost some weight and moved a little bit better than he did in the past. He has a lot of work to do to make the D-1 level. He plays too soft at this point.
Jan Maehlan SYF-Jan also looks to be in better shape. He has some skills although they are limited. He could be a good low to mid-major player if he keeps working like it appears he is.
Roddy Richardson Eric Gordon All-Stars-Roddy is a shooter at a strong 6'2 with a great motor. He is the type of guy I want on my team. He does whatever it takes to win.
Johnny Marlin Indiana Elite One-Smart, steady, small, shooter when open, sneaky...okay I only put sneaky because I wanted more alliteration in the description. He is undersized, but looks like a low major to D2 prospect right now.
Matt Carlino Indiana Elite One- Carlino defended Irving really well. He is quicker than he looks. He penetrated the ball very well and made great passes by the seeing the floor really well. He definitely needs to improve his shooting at least to the mid-range. A lot of IU fans were on hand to see him play this weekend and most left disappointed in his game. He should be pretty darn good by the time he arrives on campus if he keeps working hard and stays focused.

AMC Report- Part 1
I have tons of notes on players. It will probably be a 3 or 4 part series to get it all posted.
Marcus Crider & Branden Dawson SYF-Both are very good. Both are D-1 guys. I like Crider just a little bit more right now. Crider is a little bit more athletic and looked better shooting the ball. Dawson is no slouch but has work to do on his shooting I believe. Both are great athletes especially getting off the floor.
Zac VanDeWater Spiece Select- Zac has not had the spring so far that I expected him to have. I expect most of that is due to injuries both during the start of AAU season and also the injuries he was fighting during the school year. I believe he will get back into the flow and have a very big July when he is completely healthy.
Brent Calhoun Eric Gordon All-Stars- Calhoun switched teams from Spiece Indy Stars to EG10. I do not know the complete story but he played with EG10 last weekend for State because the Indy Stars did not play in the event and appears he liked it. I'm not sure what I think of the whole situation but something doesn't sit right with me somewhere in the situation.
Nic Moore > Travis Trice-They are very similar players. Trice has a height advantage and Moore is stronger. I like Moore better because he is stronger with the ball and makes better decisions.
Mitch McGary SYF-McGary made his spring debut this weekend. He was the point man in SYF's press and 1-3-1 zone. He played those spots well. He also showed a few good right hand finishes in the lane...he is left-handed.
That is the first night recap. Not too much happened as there were only 3 sets of games and match-ups in pool play were for the most part pretty bad. I would like more tournaments to have super pools and more super pools in those type of tournaments.
Marcus Crider & Branden Dawson SYF-Both are very good. Both are D-1 guys. I like Crider just a little bit more right now. Crider is a little bit more athletic and looked better shooting the ball.

Adidas May Classic 2009
Here is my Adidas May Classic 2009 game schedule that I plan on watching. I am not 100% I will be making the trip and of course if I do I could get side tracked by other games while I am down there. But these are the games I picked out that I want to see as of now.
Friday
Indiana Select Blue vs. Fieldhouse Elite Knights 7pm
Spiece Select 2011 vs. Shining Star Sports 8:15pm
SYF 16U vs. Indiana Black 9:30
Saturday
Spiece Indy Stars vs. SW Illinois Jets
NJ Roadrunners vs. Full Package White
Team Indiana 16U vs. Gateway Basketball Club
Spiece Select vs. Illinois Magic
Team Indiana 15U vs. JSA Express
Team Detroit vs. Illinois Magic
Indiana Elite One vs. Full Package White
I already saw that I would really like to see Indiana Elite One play against Kyrie Irving and the NJ Roadrunners but it is at Assembly Hall and that means I can only watch 1 game at a time. I prefer the places where I can see 2 solid games rather than 1 good game. It will be a game time decision if I go or not.
Lots of reports if I do go though.

Adidas May Classic
The Adidas May Classic takes place this weekend in Bloomington, Indiana. My team is not entered, but I am debating on making the trip to see some games. I really want to see Branden Dawson and the SYF team since they have not played in any tournaments that I have been at. AMC always brings good teams in from around the country. If I do end up going I will have some player reports.
My Indiana Select 2010 team came in 2nd at the State AAU tournament last weekend. It was a good weekend for us although we played terrible in the championship game. It was like we were happy just to get to the championship game. We played total individual basketball and we are not talented enough to go 1 on 1 every possession and win. We played well in our other games though and we are making strides on the defensive end...not long strides but small steps. Habits are hard to create and defense is all habit in my mind.
