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).

One of the country’s top programs is about to get very lucky. Think of some of the top teams you’ve seen play so far this year, particularly Kentucky, UConn and Florida. Now picture those lineups suddenly infused with a 6-9 power forward with the strength to clean house and finish in the lane and the touch to knock down a 15-foot jumper. That’s what we’re looking at with the case of Memphis, Tenn.’s Jarnell Stokes and his potential to be playing for one of those programs in January.
Here’s Jarnell’s situation: MORE >

Every year a kid comes out of nowhere and sets the spring AAU scene on fire. Last year it was Anthony Davis; this year it’s the SYF Players’ Mitch McGary. This kid wasn’t even a starter on his Brewster Academy (Wolfeboro, N.H.) team this season, and now has Duke, Texas, UConn, Arizona and others at his school to watch him work out. Oh yeah, and he’s an inch away from being a legitimate 7-footer. Check out some footage of the rising senior playing at Brewster during the season, and for the SYF Players in Wisconsin and Pittsburgh.
