Impressions From The July Evaluation Period

The month of July is huge when it comes to the recruiting process and player evaluations. It's the only time of the year that college coaches can view dozens and dozens of prospects in a short period of time. So, this month the top basketball programs in the state hit the road to compete in front of the college coaches with hopes of gaining scholarship offers. Here's who we thought made the biggest impressions on the coaches and scouts in attendance.

Class of 2010
Zach McCabe – He is a strong forward who can grind it out in the paint or stick the jumper. He's white hot right now and really looked good in both Milwaukee and Chicago. (Recently gave verbal commitment to Iowa)

Doug McDermott – He did a nice job rebounding and scoring the ball in the paint or off the catch and shoot. He's one to keep an eye on.

Chanse Creekmur – This kid can really shoot the rock. He's not that quick and not that big, but his stroke is lethal. (Recently gave verbal commitment to Santa Clara)

Will Artino – A long and bouncy post that runs the floor and scores the ball. He has tremendous upside and drew a large following. Watch him explode in the coming weeks and months.

Trayvonn Wright – Dunking machine who is active around the glass at both ends. He's rail thin, but a very athletic post player.

Class of 2011
Josh Oglesby – He is fun to watch as he just knows how to play. He is a good shooter and even better passer. He looks like he will blow up in the near future.

Rasham Suarez – Powerful guard who likes to score, but also makes great passes. He looked good playing up an age group. Rumor has him attending school back in Iowa this fall.

Seth Tuttle – Skilled big man with a mean streak. He just keeps getting better and better.

Kelly Madison – Strong guard who can fill it up from distance. He is money if you give him an open look.

Reggie White – Appears to be done growing at about 6-6, but he is athletic and really rebounds and defends well.

Matt Bohannon – He displayed nice handles and jumper. He is another kid who is just fun to watch.

Jarrod Uthoff – He's a skinny kid, but he can flat out play some ball. He proved he could hit jumpers and get to the rim off the bounce.

Class of 2012
Dwight Sistrunk – He has crazy handles and change of direction. His ability to break defenders down and create is uncanny. Wait until he hits his growth spurt!

Taylor Olson – He has always been good off the dribble, but he displayed an emerging jumper. He's also a tough kid.

Marcus Paige – Smooth, really smooth. The lefty hits the jumper, gets to the rim and creates for others.

Adam Woodbury – He runs the floor well and does work in the paint. He hit a few short jumpers and does a nice job on defense too.
