Dwaun Anderson- Committs To Michigan State

Combo Guard

Suttons Bay High School

WFHB 2011 Rank-  #2 Shooting Guard # 4 Prospect

League- Big-Ten-High Major

Overview: It's very funny after seeing him once this past season and watching rivals videos of Anderson with the Michigan Mustangs, I moved him up in my ranking. That was the second time WFHB's had seen him dominate on a high level. Second to his Breslin performance. Dwaun was always a "Spartan" fan as we all knew If Izzo and company offered he would accept in a heartbeat. This really is a big time recruit for MSU! Michigan really needs to land another 2011 guard to now keep up with the Spartans.This give State the guard edge for the next  8 years. Anderson is bringing versatility, athleticism, skill and what Izzo loves toughness. This kid is a horse and out of the 2011 class he is the most productive along with Carlton Brundidge & Amir Williams. This kid flat out performs every time he steps on the hardwood. Michigan State is doing a hell of a job recruiting this time around. Congrats Dwaun "DA" Anderson I know you will tear It up!!

Hello Fans! We Fly High Ballers (WFHB) is took a break from recruiting but as one college coach emailed me and said " Jamal your site was the only one that was constantly updated what happen man"?.  We would like to apologize to you all as we never intended for this to happen. My brother (DeAndre Richards) and I have been looking for a camera man and putting together money to buy our own web address and start a real website. But until those things come to light we will start back following the local AAU teams and figure out who the best of the best is.

College Coaches my rankings for the class of 2011 and 2012 have been updated. Stats is the new category to look out for. We sent emails out to our ranked athletes high school coaches so we can post their stats and percentages. That can help you all do more of an evaluation online. Most of you just note the names at the top of the list,  WFHB's as a team just wants to provide you with more information to look at.

Look for more updates in the rankings and on the site it's self period. We plan on creating a Twitter and Facebook page soon to stay connected with everyone. Within the next few weeks we plan on getting some interviews posted as updates on players spring performances and there recruiting as well. I'm excited to be back and can't wait to provide you with coverage!

   Where Will The Coaches Kids Attend School????

 As a recruiter and talent evaluator it's a pleasure to see kids who we talked about and praise finally make their verbals offical by signing letters of intent. This month plenty 2010 prospects we make it offical as R&B artist Usher would say they're 'Ready To sign Them Papers".

   The list of 2010 prospects are below, some prospects are featured on WFHB some are not be we are still going to recongize all the signees for the early period. Top 10 2010 Prospects such as Ray McCallum, Trey Ziegler, Issiah Sykes, & John Horford plan on waiting until the spring period which should be intresting:

6’1 Combo guard Keith Appling (Detroit Pershing)- Michigan State University

6’7 Wing Cole Darling (Holt)- Wright State

6’9 Power forward Alex Gauna (Eaton Rapids)- Michigan State U.

Brandan Kearney 6'4 CG Detroit Southeastern- Commits To Michigan State University

WFHB 2011 Rank: 1 # Combo Guard, # 3 Prospect

League: Big Ten-High Major

Overview:

 Now as for Kearney going green we were not shocked but some still are calling "BK" a PG which we don't see here on WFHB. Don't get me wrong he is very unselfish and has a high basketball IQ with great passing ability, but at his size  at MSU he should be used more as a combo if not a two guard. Kern has a great jumpshot and handle to be at the point but Lucious and Appling will both be present when he gets their so If I were him my focus would be getting prepared to play on the wing. Appling is a great PG and will have the duties on lock. Kearney  should be on the floor  a lot at the Breslin if he continues to work hard. Im glad he is staying home and look foward to a great Junior year from him. Congrats and Good Luck..!!

Devin Oliver 6'6 WG Kalamazoo Central- Commits To University Dayton

WFHB 2010 Rank: # 8 Overall, # 1 Wing Guard

League: A-10

Overview:

Devin Oliver is a sharp shooting wing guard who should feel the spot of Chris Wright should he go pro after this year. "DO" is was the last piece to a fantastic  2010 class that BG and his staff put together. Devin makes sound decisions with the basketball and is a fierce competitor as well all saw him go head to head with 2010's Mr. Basketball frontrunner Keith Appling in last years Class A final. Oliver rebounds well and has solid handles but must sharpen them a little to be a key attribute to the UD program. They will have 2010 guards  Jesse Berry and Juwuan Staten but It won'to hurt  If he can handle it on the wing as well. I look foward to Devin doing big things at the next level because he has so much potential..Congrats UD Got a Steal!!!

Brandan Kearney 6'4 CG Detroit Southeastern

High School League: PSL

Class: 2011

Projection: High Major

After a sucessful sophomore season and and even better AAU season Kearney is all set to pull the trigger on November 3rd to relieve all the stress and discomfort  to enjoy what is left of his high school career. Kearney is WFHB's Class of 2011 #3 Prospect overall and # 1 Combo Guard. Many have him as a PG but Kearney is more than likely going to play all three positions at the next level which is impressive.

Brandan has an unreal work ethic and is constantly trying to get better. The kid deserves everything he is getting right now. I remeber coaches use to tell me "naaaaw he is not that good" and this and that but the kid proved everyone wrong and look at him now. Now I'm not saying I know where "BK" is going to go but I smell some "Green" Mainly because Detroit Southeastern 6'9 PF Percy Gibson also has an offer from MSU and the two have been a tandeem since day one. Other schools like Michigan, Ohio State, Syracuse, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Florida International have a good shot as well.

U of M may have missed out with the commit of WFHB # 2 2011 Guard Prospect Carlton Brundidge. Then again OSU has almost a 2010 "Fab Five" coming in so time could be an issue their. Kentucky is looking at Brandon Knight and Marquis Teague who are quietly leaning toward KU so the decision is going to be tough, the program that gets Brandon will be thrilled and  good for years to come.

Colin Voss East Grand Rapids- Comitted To The University of Central Michigan

WFHB 2010 Rank: #11 Overall, # 2 PF

League: MAC-MId Major

Overview:

Voss impressed me last year at the University Of Detroit Elite Camp and with his high school team  versus Saginaw Arthur Hill. He is a powerful presence in the paint and finishes well around the basket. Voss has a solid mi-range jumper but needs a little improvement to be ready at the nextl level. He has good footwork as he was also a quality football recruit and is a beast on the boards. Highly overlooked in the deep 2010 class. Central Michigan is starting to make a believer out of me as they keep landing solid prospects. If they keep it up will Ziegler commit to his pops as well??Anyways Voss should be a solid roll player in the chips program and hopefully contribute to a future MAC title.

2010 Maurice Jones PG Saginaw Arthur Hill- Committed To University of Southern California

WFHB 2010 Rank : #2 PG- #4 Overall

League: Pac-10 High Major

Overview:

Maurice "Pookie" Jones was real patient with the recruitng process, as he had numerous offers from Mid-Major programs. He had narrowed his list down to St. Bonaventure and Duquense until Kevin O'neil and USC came in the picture. Maurice is a great penetrator and understands how to run a team and be a leader. The PAC-10 is known for having little guards so he now joins the bunch. Jones has a great chance of  being a starter or at least playing significant minutes.

2010 Michael Talley Melvindale ABT 5'11 PG - Committed to Duquesne University

WFHB 2010 Rank: # 3 PG, # 7 Overall

League: A-10 Mid-Major

Overview:

Michael Talley is the son of 1989 Mr. Basketball winner and PSL legend, he debated and was also patient with the recruting process but felt comfortable with the Dukes progam. Providence and St. Bonaventure offered the scoring PG but he felt his services were needed more in Pitt. Now Talley also has a possibility of playing right away depending on how PG Eric Evans blossoms in the A-10. Honestly I think they're going to play the two together but we will see. Talley is a relentless scorer but he may need to adjust to playing a solid PG postition on the regular like we all know he can.

2011 Carlton Brundidge 6'1 PG Southfield High- Committed To The University Of Michigan

WFHB 2011 Rank: # 1 PG, # 2 Overall

League: Big Ten High Major

Overview:

Carlton jumped the gun sort of early as he is only going into his junior year of ball. He is very mature and the wolverine staff noticed that. Syracuse, Michigan State, Xavier, Georgia, and Iowa were all in the hunt for Brundidge but the he decided to stay home. Carlton is antoher relentless scorer as he played mainly the two and three in AAU and high school. Now his passing skills are great and so is his handle, the question will be is his mindset ready for the PG position. No doubt he is a leader and proven winner but adjusting from scoring is big ask Tajuan Porter. Brundidge has plenty of time and seems to have made a good choice. Depending on how coach B plays Darius Miller CB could play right away.

Wings Decide 101 Next........Stay Tuned

2010

Richuad Pack 6'3 2G Seaholm-

Overview:

Committed to Florida International (FIU) where he will join nationally ranked players Phil Taylor PG and Domonique Ferguson PF in the class of 2010. The most exciting thing is Issiah Thomas is the head coach and any player that has the chance to be coached by a lengend is really good or lucky....Congrats to the Pack Famliy!!

WFHB 2010 Rank: #17 Overall, #6 2G

League: Sun Belt Confrence Mid Major

Cole Darling 6'6 WF Holt

Overview:

Darling is a player who everyone thought should have earned an offer to U of M after a great Elite Camp. But maybe Michigan has diffrent plans. Anyways he recently committed to Wright State over Oakland and Northeastern. Darling can play the 2, 3, or 4 and is a very good shooter. Wright State got a still with this one...Congrats Cole!!!

WFHB 2010 Rank: # 10 Overall, # 3 WF

League: Horizon Mid Major

  2011

Jordan Myrick 5'11 PG West Ottawa

Overview:

This was very surprising to me because Myrick pulled the trigger early after his stock was starting to rise. Myrick committed to Central Michigan as he is the only one in 2011. He is a good playmaker and has a decent shot. He isn't the quickest cat but his PG skills are very high like his IQ. Congrats to the Central Michigan Famliy.....!!!!

WFHB  2011 Rank: # 10 Overall, # 3 PG

League: MAC Mid-Major

After talking to Coach Issac Pitts WFHB has realizes that Pointer has came to Quality Education Academy In Winston-Salem, North Carolina. WOTS was Pointer was suppose to transfer to powerhouse Detroit Southeastern. But things changed after the departure of Mark white.

Dom"Ziggy" Pointer is a 6'5 WF  has a 40" vertical and is a very tough slasher. He played at Roseville high with WFHB Top 20 Prospect Brandon Gouch where he had a great season. His AAU team Common Bond has a successful summer as he put on a show at the Hoop City Classic. Pointer is in good hands with Pitts as I hear Good Luck "Ziggy". Highlights Below.........
