Jonathan Givony of Draft Express checked out the National Prep Showcase in New Haven, Connecticut last weekend. Here is his scouting reports on the elite players that were in attendance, including our #8 recruit in the 2010 class, Future Memphis swingman, Will Barton.
Barton showed off the tools at the showcase that makes him such a highly regarded recruit, but this paragraph from Givony’s article definitely raises some questions about Barton’s character:
“Barton’s body language was probably the biggest turnoff from watching him play, as he seems far more concerned with getting his own shots than he is helping his team win games. He would visibly pout and even proceed (on multiple occasions) to chase after his teammates following plays and yell at them for not passing him the ball, even on possessions that his team scored regardless.”

Here’s a sneak peek of our Top 25 high school rankings for the class of 2010. We took Scouts.com’s, Rivals.com’s and ESPN’s rankings and took the average of where every player ranked and then used those averages to calculate the Top 25 for this list. This weekend we will repost this list with short scouting reports on all 25 of these prospects.
Tonight at 6:00 EST on ESPNU our 6th ranked player, Tobias Harris, will be announcing where he has decided to play his college ball at next season. The Tennessee Vols are considered the front-runner to land the prized recruit. Kentucky, West Virgina, Syracuse, Louisville, Maryland and Georgia Tech are also in the running.
UPDATE: As expected, Tobias Harris announced just moments ago on ESPNU, that he will be attending the University of Tennessee next fall to play for Bruce Pearl.
