Former Louisville commit Lamont “MoMo” Jones has transferred to New Jersey powerhouse St. Anthony’s. Jones previously played for Rice HS (NY), then played along side 2008 McDonald’s All-American Tyreke Evans at American Christian (PA). Jones will be the third New York player transferring to the Jersey school for the fall of 2008. Joining him will be 6-8 forward Ashton Pankey formerly of Molloy (NY), 6-5 G/F Devon Collier formerly of All Hallows (NY), 6-6 forward Derrick Williams and 5-10 guard Eli Carter both out of Life Center Academy (NJ).
St. Anthony’s finished last season 32-0 and finished the season as the consensus number one ranked high school team in the nation. they graduated six D1 players, including Rutgers bound Mike Rosario. With the return of highly regarded shooting guard Dominic Cheek and the influx of talent, St. Anthony’s shouldn’t miss a beat in the 2008-09 season.

Over at ESPN they took a look at the major high school basketball cities across the country and put together what they felt were the best players to come out of those locations in recent memory. While they put together a formidable list, we beg to differ. There are some glaring omissions from some cities, like former NBA All-Star Ron Artest being left off the New York team and I think we think it’s safe to say that New Jersey should be considered.
