Kasey Hill highlights mixtape

Words.

The Florida Gators have a good one coming into the mix in 6-0 Class of 2013 point guard Kasey Hill (Montverde Academy, Fla.). Lanky, smooth, and a killer when he’s in Attack Mode, he’ll be the next in a long line of Gator guards who make life absolutely miserable for opponents.

Check out this mixtape we just found of Kasey murdering competition in Florida’s high school ranks over the last few weeks alone: MORE >

The Kansas Jayhawks got themselves a nice Christmas present yesterday when they landed a commitment from prized 6-7 small forward Brannen Greene (Mary Persons High, Forsyth, Ga.). Greene is a Top 30-40 prospect in the Class of 2013, and is averaging 24 points and 4 boards a game this season (up from 17 ppg last year).

Florida’s Kenny Boynton & Erving Walker Were HS Killers

The No. 6-ranked Florida Gators have a prime time slot on ESPN tonight against the Arizona Wildcats. Presumably, as is the case with pretty much every Florida opponent, Billy Donovan‘s ultra-entertaining backcourt of Kenny Boynton and Erving Walker will cause all sorts of headaches for Sean Miller‘s squad.

While you’re watching Boynton and Walker carve ‘em up, think about what they used to do to high school opponents not so long ago. These highlights can give you a pretty good idea: MORE >

After taking an unofficial visit to Duke this past weekend, Winter Park High (Fla.) star Austin Rivers, who had been committed to Florida for the past year, officially re-opened his recruitment … Sort of.

Rivers contacted us today and told us, ”I’m gonna stay committed to Florida, but I’m gonna let Duke officially start to recruit me. Because I like Duke a lot. ”

Ray McCallum Jr.: High School Hoop’s Fortunate Son

Story from Dime Magazine #50

Every top college basketball program wants Ray McCallum Jr. to be their point guard of the future. Now Ray has to decide what comes first – hoop dreams or family.

Ray McCallum Jr. knows that, coming from a likely lock for the 2010 McDonald’s All-American game, this will come across as disingenuous and rehearsed and, for lack of a better phrase, a bunch of hogwash.

He can sense the immediate eye roll reaction when he says that he’s, “REALLY looking at staying home and playing for Detroit Mercy.” Really?

So no Kansas, Duke, Florida, Michigan State, Oklahoma, UCLA or Arizona? MORE >

Brandon Knight Deals With Duke, Kentucky and Florida Rumors

Brandon Knight has been talked about as the next big thing ever since he switched from a fade to cornrows somewhere around eighth grade. Whether it’s with media hounds or overzealous fans, he answers the same basic questions on a daily basis, and for those reasons it’s no wonder Knight, a 6-3 point guard who is rated the No. 2 prospect in the HighSchoolHoop top 50, sounds less-than-interested to chat … Even if he’s in Hollywood accepting the Gatorade Athlete of the Year Award just before the ESPY’s.

Knight, who averaged 31.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists to lead Pine Crest High (Fla.) to a second straight state title, was just the third junior to receive the prestigious award following LeBron James (2002 and 2003) and Greg Oden (2005 and 2006). MORE >
