Class of 2013

August 2, 2012 – Allen Moll If you are like me, you never get tired of seeing all 5’7 of Baltimore native Aquille Carr dunking on an opponent or adding them to his latest highlight reel. [...]

August 1, 2012 – Allen Moll Being around the game of basketball for more than 30 years as a player, coach, and fan, I can honestly say that I’ve never seen something like what you are about to see in the clip below. [...]

July 31, 2012 – Allen Moll To the average person, the participants in the game of basketball are larger than life.  Even on the high school level, players that make up the hoops team literally tower over the competition in other sports. [...]

July 25, 2012 – Allen Moll With the 2013 HS recruiting class’ top prospect Jabari Parker out of action this Summer, nursing an injury, the attention this offseason has focused on the “other” top tier prep prospects that will soon be household names in college like Andrew Wiggins and Julius Randle.

After all, his extensive library of YouTube mixtapes and highlight videos have received millions of hits to [...]

But that won’t last too long if he keeps winning dunk contests and jumping clear over 6‘8 teammates. He’s been getting a lot of buzz lately since [...]

July 13, 2011 – Allen Moll While it’s obviously unfair to anoint a 15 year old high school hoops phenom the “next” anything just yet, sometimes the comparison to former greats or current superstars aren’t that far off.
