Powerade Fab 50 Preseason List

Published by Source on October 20th, 2011

ESPNHS has released its preseason Powerade Fab 50, a list of the 50 best boy’s high school basketball teams in the country. There are a number of Illinois and Indiana teams on the list, as well as plenty of teams with players committed to or being recruited by B1G and Chicago-area colleges. Here’s the highlights of the list:

1. Simeon Career Academy (Chicago, IL)

- Chicago powerhouse Simeon landed the well-deserved top spot on this year’s list. Behind outstanding junior Jabari Parker, considered by some to be the best player in the 2013 class, the Wolverines lineup features several other highly-touted prospects. Senior Steve Taylor is already committed to Marquette, while junior Kendrick Nunn recently re-opened his recruitment after making an early pledge to Texas A&M. Also joining the group is junior point guard Jaylon Tate, who transferred to Simeon from De La Salle this past summer. Tate has been hearing from most of the B1G already, plus hometown DePaul, and has already landed an offer from Northwestern.

B1G / Chicago Recruiting Tidbits – Friday 10/7

Published by Source on October 7th, 2011

Every Friday we will release a list of small recruiting news “nuggets” or “tidbits” they deserve mention on this site but do not necessarily require full articles. Here is this Friday’s edition of Recruiting Tidbits:

* Two teammates from Fishbourne Military Academy (Va.) committed to UIC on the same day, apparently unbeknownst to one and other. Prep school seniors Matt Gorski and Jake Wiegland both made the call for the Flames on Monday afternoon after being recruited by Donnie Kirksy. Gorski is a 7-foot center who also considered Hofstra and UAB and Wiegland is a 6’8″ forward that chose UIC over The Citadel and IUPUI. Fishbourne head coach told Scott Powers of ESPNChicago, “They play defense, rebound and really bring some toughness.” Gorski and Wiegland join Whitney Young’s Gabriel Snider as the three members of Howard Moore’s 2012 class at UIC.

* USA Men’s Basketball announced Monday the 27-player roster for their October Mini-Camp. The event will be held in Colorado Springs, CO next weekend (Oct. 15-16). The timing will prevent the attendees from checking out the Midnight Madness events going on all over the country that weekend. Some of the notable players invited to attend are Indiana 2014 verbals James Blackmon and Trey Lyles, Chicago prospects Jabari Parker, Kendrick Nunn, Paul White and Jahlil Okafor, 2013 prospects BeeJay Anya (IU interest), Charles Tucker (Mich, MSU, OSU), Larry Austin (OSU, Ill), Demonte Flannigan (OSU, Wisc), Rondae Jefferson (PSU), Jared Swopshire (Ill, Iowa, Marq, Minn, SIU) and Jonathan Williams (MSU), and 2014 Tyus Jones (IU, Iowa, Marq, Minn, OSU).

B1G / Chicago Recruiting Tidbits – Friday 9/16

Published by Source on September 16th, 2011

* DePaul has added a late member to its 2011 recruiting class in JUCO point guard Worrell Clahar. The 6-foot junior comes to Chicago from Lawson State CC (Alabama) and will have 2 years of eligibility with the Blue Demons. The commitment actually happened over Labor Day weekend, but got lost in the shuffle by yours truly. Apologies on that one!

* Chicago’s Simeon Career Academy was the place to be for college coaches on Wednesday night as all eyes were on 2013 star Jabari Parker. In the house to see Parker were head coaches and/or assistants from over 20 D1 schools, headlined by Mike Krzyzewski (plus 2 Duke assistants), Tom Izzo, Roy Williams, Thad Matta (plus assistant), Bill Self (plus assistant), Bruce Weber (plus assistant), Oliver Purnell and Larry Krystkowiak (Utah). Several other local schools were represented, including Chicago State, UIC, Valpo, Illinois State and Northern Illinois. The workout also featured Marquette commit and Steve Taylor (2012) and Texas A&M verbal Kendrick Nunn (2013).

* Indiana commitment Peter Jurkin (2012) has been out of basketball for most of the last year with a stress fracture in his leg. Inside The Hall is reporting that Jurkin is now back at full strength after missing most of his junior season and the entire AAU evaluation period.
