Day three of the NBPA Top 100 Camp allowed me to see the three teams that I did not get to see on Day Two (see my Day Two School Lists & Top Scorers article Here) as well as catch a handful of teams for the second time. In addition to the players that I spoke with on Day One and Day Two, I also interviewed numerous other elite prospects on the third day of camp at the University of Virginia's John Paul Jones Arena.

As mentioned in a previous post, my player evaluations will come separately from the school lists, but in this post you can get recruiting updates of some of the nation's top players. In addition, this article also includes the top scorers through the first two days of games, leading up to the playoffs on the final day of camp.

Without further ado, have a look at the school lists I got on the third day of the 2010 NBPA Top 100 Camp as well as the players who broke out for big scoring outputs.

Within my family, I’m getting more comfortable with some schools, but no real statements yet.” Asked how much of a factor it is that his older brother Miles and Mason are at Duke, Marshall responded, “I love my brothers to death and I’d love to be with them, but . . . I’m gonna pick whatever school is best for me. If they happen to be there, that’s icing on the cake.”
