All-Iowa Attack Red won the 17U division of the NY2LA Invitational in Milwaukee and 2011 star Donivine Stewart was playing up a grade and still won co-MVP honors with teammate Travon Wright. http://www.ny2lasports.com/NextLevelDay4recap.htm Chris Oliver, Jesse Berry, Alex Foster, and other players of note are featured. Milwaukee's own Vander Blue scored 33 in the loss.
Here is a link to some wonderful player profiles from the event by Illinois Prep Bullseye. http://ilprepbullseye.com/page42.html They profile Mike McCall who strangely enough is consistently ranked among the top handful of players in Chicago by all local media but seems to be way below that level by all the national guys. They also take a look at Donivine Stewart and several other players from Illinois including Keith Carter and Aaron Simpson (2013) who were watched closely by Purdue and Illinois at the event.
On July 12 the Summer Jam in Milwaukee will host elite talent from around the country including Vander Blue, Jalen Kendrick, Ray McCallum Jr, Moses Morgan, Cameron Wright, Flavien Davis, John Gasser, Dominique Fergeson, Trey Zeigler, Branden Dawson, Levonte Dority, Jake Kitchell, Quevyn Winters, Chason Randle, and Dante Williams. This Wisnet preview by Mark Miller has player rankings for many of the invitees and brief descriptions. http://www.wishoops.net/sports/hoopsb/blog/message.aspx?f=123&id=1043188
Dylan Kaufman (2012) of Akron recently visited Miami and received a scholarship offer. Kaufman also visited Ohio State and drew coaches from North Carolina, Akron, and Indiana's Tom Crean at the Adidas Take Five. http://www.miamihawktalk.com/home/recruits/player/10351/
