School Lists

There were a handful of players at the AAU Super Showcase who I did not interview, but did get school lists from. Here are the players and their lists:

Doron Lamb '10, Bishop Loughlin (NY): Syracuse, Louisville, Xavier, St. John's, West Virginia, Georgetown, Seton Hall, Marquette, Duke, UConn, Miami, Florida, Texas, Memphis
                           Offers: Syracuse, Louisville, Xavier, St. John's, West Virginia, Georgetown, Seton Hall, Marquette, UConn, Miami, Florida, Texas, and Memphis
                           Favorites: Syracuse, Texas, and Memphis are his top three
                           Dream School: None
                           Note- Duke is the only school Lamb lists that has yet to offer a scholarship

Joseph Northington: Ole Miss and North Carolina
                                 Offers: Ole Miss
                                 Dream Schools: Wake Forest and North Carolina
                                 Note- Northington said that shooting is the strongest point of his game, while rebounding is his weakest point

Taran Buie '10, Bishop Maginn (NY): Boston College, Clemson, Florida St., Georgia Tech, Maryland, Miami, North Carolina St., Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Syracuse, Marquette, Rutgers, Providence, Villanova, Georgetown, Pitt, Louisville, St. John's, Seton Hall, St. Joseph's, Penn St., Texas, and Florida
                        Offers: Boston College, Clemson, Florida St., Georgia Tech, Maryland, Miami, North Carolina St., Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Syracuse, Marquette, Rutgers, Providence, Villanova, Georgetown, Pitt, Louisville, St. John's, Seton Hall, St. Joseph's, and Penn St., and added "there are others" that he could not think of
                        Favorites: None, "[I] don't really have a favorite. . . . [I] am hoping to narrow down [my list] by the fall."
                        Dream School: North Carolina
                        Notes- The only ACC school that Buie specifically mentioned was Maryland. Instead, he just said "the whole ACC besides Duke and North Carolina" had offered him a scholarship. He added that "Maryland is one of [his] tops."

Keith Appling '10, Pershing (MI): Michigan St., Michigan, Memphis, Tennessee, Miami, Syracuse, Xavier, Oklahoma, and Arizona
                            Offers: Michigan St., Michigan, Tennessee, Miami, Xavier, and Oklahoma
                            Favorites: None, "I don't really have a favorite right now."
                            Dream School: "Growing up I watched Michigan St. a lot."

Andrew Fitzgerald '09, Owings Mills (MD): Oklahoma, Boston College, Louisville, Tennessee, Minnesota, Pitt, Baylor, Seton Hall, Xavier, and James Madison
                                    Offers: Boston College, Minnesota, Pitt, Baylor, Seton Hall, Xavier, and James Madison
                                    Favorites: None, "I don't have [any] favorites right now."
                                    Dream School: None, "I don't have any dream school."

Phil Pressey '10: Texas, Pitt, Missouri, Marquette, Louisville, Providence, Wake Forest, Tennessee, Baylor, Florida, Maryland, and UConn
                           Offers: Missouri, Marquette, Louisville, Providence, Maryland, and UConn
                           Favorites: None, "No, not really."
                           Dream School: "[It] was North Carolina, but they already got a point guard [Kendall Marshall] in my class."

David Nyarsuk '10: No college interest
                               Notes- Nyarsuk, who plays for Blessed IJN (IN), is 7'1, and has been in America for just eight months. He picked up basketball six years ago, and is originally from Sudan. The big man is interested in playing college basketball. Nyarsuk, the cousin of Leek Leek and Deng Leek, is a solid, but raw talent who caught my eye and warrants some looks.

Russ Byrd '10: Louisville, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan St., Baylor, Wake Forest, Florida, Ohio St., Xavier, Notre Dame, and Butler
                       Offers: Louisville, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan St., Baylor, Wake Forest, and Notre Dame
                       Favorites: At first Byrd said, "I don't really have any favorites, . . . I'm still kind of open." He did go on to say, though, that Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, and Michigan St. are his top four
                       Dream School: None, "I don't have one."

Akeem Richmond '09: LSU, Wichita St., Central Florida, Georgia Tech, Georgia St., Syracuse, Kentucky, North Carolina St., Maryland, Tennessee, and West Virginia
                                   Offers: LSU, Wichita St., Central Florida, Georgia Tech, Georgia St., and Syracuse
                                   Favorites: LSU and Syracuse, with "probably Syracuse" at number one
                                   Dream Schools: North Carolina and Tennessee
                                   Notes- Richmond is taking an official visit to LSU on August 30th. Regarding Tennessee, Richmond said: "If they [were] to offer [me a scholarship], I'd commit."

Rodney Williams '09: Kansas, Minnesota, UConn, Miami, Memphis, Arizona, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin
                                 Offers: Minnesota, UConn, Miami, and Wisconsin
                                 Favorite: "I'll know after this tournament."
                                 Dream School: "Probably North Carolina."
                                 Note- A source told me that it will be very hard to get Williams away from the University of Minnesota.

Marcus Jordan '09, Whitney Young (IL): Rice, Illinois-Chicago, Michigan, Florida, Tennessee, SMU, and Illinois
                              Offers: Rice and Illinois-Chicago
                              Favorites: None
                              Dream School: "[I] don't really have one, . . . [somewhere] where the can prepare me for the next level, . . . the NBA or overseas. . . . If I could go anywhere, it would probably be Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, [or] Kansas, a school like that."
                               Note- I spoke with Jordan via phone and not in person, and thus there will be a separate feature article on him sometime soon.
