Underclassman Camp: Top dozen prospects

Keaton Branson  5-9  Fr  Lansing Sexton  There could be more state titles in Sexton's future. Branson is one of two Big Reds freshmen on this list, and they'll join camp alumnus Trevor Manuel, the top prospect in 2015, on McPherson Ave. Branson was tough to stop when he got going downhill. "A scoring machine," one coach said. "He must have had 20 points every game.""Confident and steady p...

Standout junior guards from Bank Hoops All-State Camp

Nelson Cagle  6-1  Jr  NoviAnyone still parroting the cliche that you can't get better playing AAU, I give you Cagle. He was more consistent, mature and aggressive here than he was in the spring camp -- and he played a bunch of high-level travel ball between now and then. Perhaps his biggest improvement is how he's able to mentally get on to the next play. Operated well and traffic and typ...

U-D Elite Camp: All-Upperclassman Team
Bank Hoops - High School

Year in, year out, few in-state events have as much talent as the University of Detroit's Elite Camp. That didn't change in 2013, as it was deep with most of the top local players and legit college prospects from throughout Michigan. These were the best 2014 and 2015 performers.

MVP  Justin Tillman  6-7  Sr  Detroit Pershing
He just always plays hard. None of the other 4s could keep up with Tillman running rim to rim. Got off the floor quickly for dunks, knocked down mid-range shots and made some smart passes from the blocks. Doesn't just get the rebounds that fall to him, moves quickly horizontally as well as vertically to go get the ball. Jumps at everything but still erases or intimidates more shots than he gets burned for biting.

Best Buy Chicago Classic: 17U Standouts
Bank Hoops - High School

The last weekend of the spring AAU season saw many of Michigan's top teams head West on 94 to Chicago for the Best Buy Classic. Here are 10 17U players who represented well in the Land of Lincoln.

Darrell Davis  6-4  Sr  Hurricanes (Detroit Douglass)
He made the move from REACH, and had a strong run for his new team. Has the size and savvy to take a defensive rebound, push it and make the smart choice on the break. Good either way in transition because of his first two steps. Good not great athlete, so it was nice to see the teardrop floater falling.
