Say's Cuse and GU are his dream schools.......
Markus Kennedy Class: 2010 Position: Power Forward Height: 6Œ9 Weight: 225 School: St. Patrick NJ AAU Team: Team New Jersey ABC
.........................................................................................................................
some clips from with-in the last few months.... (his team-mate also lists the Hoyas:Kyrie Irving)
Villanova was the first school to tender a scholarship offer to Kennedy and the class of 2010 star is very high on Jay Wright and the Wildcats. Not too long after the offer from Villanova, schools like Rutgers, Michigan State and, most recently, Ohio State have followed with scholarship offers and St. Johnfs and Georgetown could follow as well. Syracuse is another team showing interest and that is fine by Kennedy as he has grown up with the Orange and Hoyas as his edream schools.f
.....................................................................................................................................
On the positive side, Kennedy already has a variety of skills that are only likely to get better as he gets older and matures. First of all, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, he is supposed to be 7-foot-2 when he finishes growing. If that ends up being true, look out. Offensively, Kennedy is an outstanding force inside. He can finish around the rim, and is a ferocious dunker with both hands. He moves without the ball extremely well, constantly making himself available. He gets great position inside, enabling him to get easy baskets once he gets the ball. Kennedy has a variety of back-to-the-basket post moves off which he can get points. Additionally, he has decent hands. If he does not have a shot, he looks to pass the ball and does not force shots. He has a tendency to miss a few open lay-ups at times down low, but he also has the ability to finish with contact. Defensively, he is a very shot-blocker who also changes shots without even touching them. On the other hand, he falls victim to pump-fakes on occasion and is often out of position or fails to box out when he tries to help out in the lane.
.......................................................................................................
g[My strengths are] as a rebounder, passer and screener. I need to work on my conditioning, though. Ifm just running miles per day to try and get more stamina.h
Schools alread in hot pursuit include Louisville, Xavier, Penn State, Rutgers, Rider and Ohio State. Kennedy lists his favorites as Ohio State and Georgetown. The Hoyas have shown interest, but havenft offered yet.

lol .... don't shoot the messenger ... but it does sound ridiculous ... on a side note ... AYERS also goes on record saying Hoyas are his leader as well ... its a little to early to mark these kids down as ours (they change favorites by the week) .... but its a good look to be listed early with them ... I KNOW LIC IS LOVING THE THOUGHT OF Another 7 footer ... BUT I believe Dash Riley will turn out to be a good one at the Hilltop...

Quick clip on local guard: Eric Atkins .... (the entire article is on NBEbasketball.com)
As just a sophomore, Atkins earned 2nd team all-Met last year playing for coach Pat Clatchey at Mount Saint Joseph in Baltimore (MD). On the AAU circuit he teamed with recent Duke commitments Tyler Thornton and Josh Hairston to lead the 16-U DC Assault Squad to one of the most impressive summers on the circuit, citing that “my AAU team winning the Vegas 16-U championship” as the highlight of his summer.
Now, back home and at school in Baltimore, the coaches that saw him over the summer are making their interest in him clear as Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt and Kentucky have all come by Mount St. Jospeh this month already. Atkins has also recently visited UMass and Virginia Tech. He plans to visit more.
“I’m planning on visiting Pittsburgh, Vanderbilt and Maryland and that’s it,” Atkins said of future visit plans. “Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt, Pittsburgh, Georgetown, Maryland and UMass” were rattled off by Atkins when asked of his favorite schools that he had been hearing most from.

here's just one tournament breakdown of Davis and Ayers ....
JOE BROWN MEMORIAL RECAP:
Cameron Ayers (6-3, Playaz Red): Overshadowed by the trio of Isaiah Epps, Fuquan Edwin and Trevor Clemmings, Ayers is the ideal complementary player. He can do a little of everything, and looks smooth while doing it. Ayers is a very good shooter, especially from the mid-range, and he has a nice pull-up jumper from inside the arc. Furthermore, he has the ability to take it to the basket and finish at the rim. He is a decent passer who finds the open man. Ayers has a high basketball IQ and doesn’t make many mistakes.
Class of 2011
Myles Davis (6-0, Playaz White): Davis is a talented player, but he rarely comes out and really takes over a game like he has shown flashes of. He can do a little of everything, but is at his best when he is being aggressive offensively, knocking down jumpers from the mid-range and from behind the three-point line. He can get hot from beyond the arc and has a quick release, making it difficult to block. At times, he takes the ball into the lane with no true destination.
..................................................................................................................
Markus Kennedy (6-9, Team NJ ABC U-16): Kennedy is going to be a dominant player once he works on his conditioning and develops more stamina. He showed flashes of his enormous potential on Sunday, but he also tired very easily and his team seemed to play better with him on the bench. He didn’t get up-and-down the court very well, although some of that can be attributed to him playing more than a week straight without a day off. However, he can score very well inside and has a variety of back-to-the-basket moves to get points from. He moves well without the ball and gives his teammates a good target for passes. Kennedy gets good position down low and turns to the basket smoothly. He also rebounds the ball strongly. Defensively, he failed to box out a few times because he left his man to try and block a shot. He also made some mental mistakes throughout the tournament.
........................................................................................................................
(The tournament is also known as the “Playaz Ball” to some as it is sponsored by the New Jersey powerhouse Playaz AAU program. Whichever name you call it, it was a two-day tournament featuring 24 of the top U-17 AAU teams in the region and 16 of the top U-16 squads. There was pool play followed by a bracket-style format to decide a winner. The hometown Playaz Gold took home the U-17 title, while New Heights 2011 won the U-16 championship. )

Well, he will have to step it up and take over games at Prep, since they are not a great team. Still trying to figure out this move if the kid wants to go to a solid D1 program.
Krukster - I don't get up to JC too much any more but will contact you if I do. I was hoping Prep would be playing St. Anthony's this year, but it is doubtful (I checked the past couple years and they have not played each other).

I ready to see some good H.S ball ... as well as my beloved HOYAS ...
