Darryl Hicks (Class of 2013, Trinity High School, Kent.), a shooting guard from Louisville, really made a name for himself this weekend at the Nike EYBL games in Los Angeles.
Eric Bossi of Rivals.com noted Hicks as one of the best player showings from Sunday and Monday. [URL=”http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1226857″]Here’s[/URL] a link to the article if you’re interested (Subscription).
This is Bossi’s evaluation of the rising junior and how he impressed everyone:

A well-built off-guard with some bounce, Hicks ended his weekend by going for 21 points (17 in the second half) in an overtime win over Louisiana Select. He can make jumpers, has a nose for offensive rebounds and is tough on both ends of the floor. His Monday performance followed up a huge Sunday that saw him score 51 points on a sizzling 19-of-25 (9-of-11 three-pointers) shooting during a pair of Travelers wins.[/QUOTE]
I know people criticize the AAU circuit for the poor defense or lack thereof, but 51 points is a very impressive stat, good defense or not.
According to Hicks’ Rivals profile, he currently holds offers from Arizona and Indiana, along with interest from Cincinnati, Missouri, Ohio State, and Kentucky.
I don’t think it would be bad to help this youngster stay in-state and represent the blue and white.
How about you?
