Class of 2015 SF Jonah Bolden is a 6'8' SF out of Australia is playing at the Adidas Nation tourney this weekend. He's headed to Findlay Prep next year to play for JYD. Hopefully this can give the staff an inside track on this youngster cause he can play.. The videos I've seen reminds me of Otto's HS tapes!! Very impressive player who definitely wants to play college ball. The below article ranks him up there with Ben Simmons, Dante Exum & Thon Maker. prospect-central.blogspot.com/2013/05/jonah-bolden-class-of-2015s-australian.html#.Uf0YzGRVRrc

Plans to reclass up to 2014 & attend Findlay Prep. #adidasnations Global Hoops @globalhoops1 1h Australia loses to USA 2015 Blue but Aussie Jonah Bolden has very impressive line. 7-9 shooting, 20 points, 10 rebounds. #AdidasNations Ronnie Flores @ronmflores 1h Couple of the foriegners making waves here @adidasnations include Jonah Bolden (australia) & Brian Rodas (Latin America\Columbia) #hsbb Horace Neysmith @ehoopsshowcase 2h Rumored to be going to Findlay Prep, Aussie 6-8 F Jonah Bolden reminds me some of Nicholas Batum Horace Neysmith @ehoopsshowcase 2h Australia's 6-8 F Jonah Bolden is an effective passer in transition, active defender and makeable jumper. Good feel for game.#AdidasNations

How close is JYD to Georgetown nowadays? Does he come to campus much or meet up with Big John still? I hear about Mourning, Mutumbo, and Ewing showing up to games, but not Junkyard Dog.

Quick blurb from rivals on Reid Travis.. recruitscoop.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1532124Top 50 big man Reid Travis has used one official visit to check out Gonzaga. Now the four-star from Minneapolis (Minn.) De La Salle is trying to figure out the best way to use his other visits. Because he's rugged and strong, he's been able to bang around in the post, but like many other kids in attendance he's looking forward to getting time off. Travis said that once he gets home and sleeps in his own bed for more than two days in a row he'll be ready to set his officials. UCLA, Minnesota, Stanford, Michigan State, Georgetown and Notre Dame are among those competing to land visits. - See more at: recruitscoop.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1532124#sthash.7RJjmJZx.dpuf

Onuaku has been getting a lot of PUB recently, fwiw I hear UMD is the team to beat here and I definitely like the other C/PF’s we’re on better….

I go to a lot of Riverdale games and I'm surprised we offered to say the least. Very mechanical and raw offensively and not instinctual enough on defense. Would be another project and I hope we bring in someone a little more polished in the post. I say this not having seen him play this summer just a ton of times during the season over the last few years.
However, he likes the game and works hard so there's that.

Duke involved w/ Looney, Tyus Jones, Okafor (How many spots can they have)
My 2 cents from watching the game on my couch: 1. I would not mind having Myles Turner or Reid Travis, both those kids played out of their minds. Travis would fit in nicely if we were to lock up big E. Imagine Myles and Elbert together (Good friends!) #drooling 2. Isaac Copeland needs to be more aggressive and move more. Often shyed away from shots with quick passes. I think he should have asserted himself more against these players, need him to step up when he is a hoya. hopefully gets a little bulkier too. But loved how he had that great assist 3. Loved the way how Telep talked about LJ Peak and Copeland and basically said they will both be moving up the rankings 4. Overall really proud of our recruiting. We were involved with most of the kids playing, and it looks like we will have a successful future with recruiting. 5. Looking into the game, I think we will need a top point guard in 2015, someone to control the game. Hopefully a stud like a top 50 recruit. The way D'Angelo Russell carried the Blue team in the third quarter was awesome, would love someone like that.

Future150.com @future150 30m Carlton Bragg is one of those kids who you watch for 3 minutes and understand how special he can be. So much skill in that frame. #RunNSlam Carlton Bragg's mentor, Michael Graves, informs me he will not return to Cleveland VASJ coaching staff. Will focus on Bragg's recruitment. lol….. Zach Fleer @zachfleersp 58m Carlton Bragg and Isaac Copeland chatting it up in warmups Zach Fleer @zachfleersp 52m Bragg listed Kevin Durant and Otto Porter as his favorite players at dinner last night
