Class 2013: All American Game Recap


Jubril Adekoya Was Very Dominant This Weekend!

The Rising 8th Grade All American Game had some names you might recognize and a few that will be new to the site. They didn’t have the dazzling names like some of the other divisions but the talents they possess were very apparent.

Class 2013 top Performers

Jubri Adekoya 6’3 Forward (Tinsley Park, IL)- Jubril was our pick in as the top performer in this division. The versatile forward has an Antwan Jamison type game and doesn’t shy away from the competition. He has a unique playing style and an array of moves that leave defenders puzzled. Sometimes when he scored he makes it look very easy.

Tarique Thompson 6’3 Forward (Columbia, SC)- Thompson continued his stellar play with some tough finishes inside. The lefty can give it to you blue collar style or with some flair. He knows how to score the ball and rebound while playing bigger than his size.

Tyree Robinson 6’3 Forward (San Diego, CA)- Robinson showed his perimeter game and his smooth stroke. He has the build of a big time athlete and can create his own shot which is important on all levels of basketball. His stock should skyrocket well into his scholastic career.

Charles Glover 5’10 Guard (Bowie, MD)- This was my first look at Glover and I was impressed the way he looked pulling up from the perimeter. He had good height on his shot and had excellent form on his release.

Bryson Scott 5’11 Guard (Fort Wayne, IN)- It was a joy watching Scott all weekend. He plays the game with great intensity and has some special skills to go with it. Combo guard is his position right now but his final spot won’t be determined until he peaks in height.
