(Players Edge, Corora, California) Day 1 of the Fullcourt Press All-Frosh/ Soph Camp unfolded a handful of talented 2015 and 2014 prospects. 2014 Shaquille Carr has blown up this past week and his stock is roaring across the west coast wires. 2014 Stanely Johnson is still as good as advertised. Johnson is a man child that strokes the ball from 21 consistently. Johnson should have no problems playing the guard/ wing posistions in college. 2015’s Stephen Zimmerman, Sedrick Barefield, Marcus Lovett and Tyler Dorsey are all high major prospects. Below is the breakdown for day 1 with a few notations.

2014 Mid/ High Prospects

Shaquille Carr 6′1 Canyon Springs (Las Vegas, Nevada) Pass first point guard that is also an incredible athlete. Carr’s court vision is exceptional in the half court set and in transition. Shaq took care of the basketball and treated every position like it counted. Mid/ High majors need to take a close look at this athletic slashing guard that loves to finish his penetrating drives with pin point passes for lay ups and open jumpers. Add 15 pounds of muscle, a consistent 21 footer and Carr will translate into a high major+ talent for any program.

Notes: Carr is an incredible athletic guard with vision. Very poised leader who plays with gears.- POP

Elston Jones 6′9 Millennium (Goodyear, Arizona) Big body block prospect who can get up the floor. Not explosive but can finish at the rim. Showed of a few hooks and turn around jump shots in the key and finished well in the paint. Good motor for his size and age. Mid Major+ prospect.

Notes: Still 3 years of basketball left for Jones. Explosiveness could come.

Noah Robotham 5′10 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nevada) Robotham always has been a true “pure” point guard and is now showing he can score in a variety of ways. Pull up threes, mid-range, change of directions floaters in the lane you name it. Robotham feel is on the highest level and loves to make his teammates better. Had a good day 1 of action.

Notes: Robotham is one year young for his age so he will physically continue to grow. Mid/ High Major talent.
