Terrence Jones
[B][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][COLOR=#ffca1f][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][COLOR=#ffca1f][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][COLOR=#ffca1f][LEFT][SIZE=2]Height: 6-9 • Weight: 230 • Position: Forward • Jefferson High School • Portland, OR[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hometown: Portland, OR • PPG: 30.0 • RPG: 14.0 • APG: 6.0 • College: Undecided[/SIZE][/LEFT]
[/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/B][FONT=Tekton][SIZE=2][FONT=Tekton][SIZE=2][LEFT]This solid forward is known for his game changing intensity on the
court. Jones is a legitimate scoring threat with a sweet left handed jump
shot. He has range to the arc and he is very consistent when facing the
basket. He will go after the offensive rebounds and has a powerful finish
at the rim. Aggressive defense is his trademark. He guards the opposition
with a purpose and uses his strong body to clear the lane. Terrence has
excellent leaping ability and long arms, which help him clear the boards
and block the inside shot. This difference maker was selected as the
Oregon 5A State Player of the Year in 2009. Still looking at Kentucky,[/LEFT]
Washington and Oklahoma, Terrence will be welcomed wherever he chooses.
Brandon Knight
[B][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ffca1f][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ffca1f][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ffca1f][LEFT][SIZE=2]Height: 6-4 • Weight: 195 • Position: Guard • Pine Crest School • Ft. Lauderdale, FL[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hometown: Coral Springs, FL • PPG: 32.5 • RPG: 8.6 • APG: 4.0 • College: Undecided[/SIZE][/LEFT]
[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Tekton][SIZE=2][FONT=Tekton][SIZE=2][LEFT]Perhaps the premier point guard in the country, Knight is an offensive
machine. He is equally confident spotting up well past the arc or driving to
the basket. Brandon uses the combination of an unmatched handle with an
athletic body to create open looks, foul shot opportunities and easy
buckets for his teammates. Brandon Knight is a winner who works hard to
make an impact every second of every game. This perennial All State
player has received the Florida Dairy Farmers Player of the Year Award
and is one of a select few to ever be selected as the National Player of
the Year after his Junior season. Brandon is considering a number of[/LEFT]
national powers as his college of choice.
Doron Lamb
[B][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ff0017][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ff0017][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ff0017][LEFT][SIZE=2]Height: 6-4 • Weight: 185 • Position: Guard • Oak Hill Academy • Mouth of Wilson, VA[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Hometown: Laurelton, NY • PPG: 23.0 • RPG: 6.0 • APG: 4.0 • College: Undecided[/SIZE][/LEFT]
[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Tekton][SIZE=2][FONT=Tekton][SIZE=2][LEFT]Doron is a quality guard with plenty of athleticism and raw natural talent.
He fills up every column of the stat sheet consistently. His knack for making
the big shot at key moments is impeccable. He knows how to create
separation with his dribble and stroke it from deep. With the ball in his hands,
he is quick and easily finds his shot. While running the break, his uncanny
court vision helps him find passing lanes and easy scores. On defense, he will
create steals, block an occasional shot and grab the long rebound. Doron
Lamb is a gamer who earns the respect of his teammates through his
actions. His leadership on the court is one reason he is entertaining offers[/LEFT]
from top programs, including Kansas, Kentucky and Connecticut.
C.J. Leslie
[FONT=Tekton][SIZE=2][FONT=Tekton][SIZE=2][B][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ffca1f][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ffca1f][FONT=STIMacSans-Black][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ffca1f][LEFT][SIZE=2]Height: 6-9 • Weight: 212 • Position: Forward • Word of God Christian Academy • Raleigh, NC[/SIZE][/LEFT]
[SIZE=2]Hometown: Holly Springs, NC • PPG: 23.0 • RPG: 12.0 • BPG: 4.0 • College: Undecided[/SIZE]
[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][LEFT]C.J. combines loads of natural ability with a solid, athletic body. He is
an extremely quick forward who enjoys playing facing the basket. He has a
better than average jump shot and attacks the basket with a vengeance.
Using exceptional ball handing and great body control, he gets to the rim
often and delivers a strong, aggressive finish. He outmatches the
opposition with his superior length and extraordinarily quick feet. Leslie
can dominant any game with his shot blocking ability and his command of
the boards. He has played a key role in maintaining the Word of God
basketball tradition and that is why top college programs like Kentucky,[/LEFT]
North Carolina State and Florida are all vying for his services in the fall.

[COLOR=black]above average and he uses it to drive the lane and create shots for[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]himself or pass to his teammates for the easy bucket. Defensively, Josh[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]really turns up the intensity. He uses his quick hands and anticipation to[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]grab steals and start the fast break. His excellent foot speed helps him[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]lead the break and he finishes strong. He can score at will, likes to mix it[/COLOR]

It would be great to get 3 of these guys, and I really think 4 is a possibility. If the Cats get Knight, they probably don’t get Selby. All the other guys are fair game and everything will start falling into place as soon as Brandon Knight pulls the trigger, which is said to be on April 14th.
