Kaleb Joseph has cut his list of schools to Providence, Syracuse and West Virginia.
Joseph is ranked 51st overall and No. 10 amongst point guards for the Class of 2014.
“Throughout the whole recruiting process, those three schools stood out the most and made it known that I was a priority for them since Day One,” Joseph said.
Chris Egi is a 6’9”, 210 lbs forward from St. Andrew’s College in Canada. He has committed to Montverde Academy for this year and is being recruited intensely by Stanford, Harvard and Washington.
At the CIA Bounce Caribana Classic Tournament this past weekend, Egi stated why he selected Montverde as his school of choice.
“I just want to play against tougher competition day in and day out. I think Coach (Kevin) Boyle and the coaching staff are going to push me every day in practice,” said Egi.
When asked what he loves the most about his game, Egi cited his motor and ability to outwork his opponents.
“Getting my body a little bit stronger to compete against bigger guys, and working on my jump shot from the mid-range area,” Egi told RealGM when asked what part of his game he’s been working on.
“If I could pick any school in the world, it would probably be Duke. That would be a dream come true,” continued Egi.
Good friends with Andrew Wiggins, when asked who he’d want to play for in the NBA, Egi said, “I would have to say the Raptors, my hometown team. I would love to team up with Andrew.”
USA West defeated USA South by a final score of 98-95 to win the 2013 Nike Global Challenge.
Stanley Johnson and D'Angelo Russell were the MVPs from the United States, while Montaque Gill-Caesar and Christopher Egi were the International MVPs. Past MVPs of the Tournament include Andrew Wiggins, Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson, Tyreke Evans and Greg Monroe.
On the All-Tournament Team are the aforementioned four MVPs, along with Tyus Jones, Chris McCullough, Kelly Oubre, Theo Pinson, Abdul-Malik Abu, Cheikh Diallo, Leonardo Demetrio, Mathias Lessort, Marial Shayok and Justin Jackson.
Reid Travis was the tournament's leading scorer with 22.0 points per game.
Andrew Wiggins was named the 2013 Gatorade High School Male Athlete of the Year.
Wiggins is the sixth basketball player to win the award in its 11-year history and the first since Brandon Knight.
"It feels pretty good to know I'm the first Canadian to get this, so it's really big for my country," he said. "I really wanted to win it."
Kevin Love, Greg Oden, Greg Paulus, Dwight Howard and LeBron James have also won the award.
Jahlil Okafor has been called the most skilled high school center ever scouted by a well-regarded NBA executive with over 20 years of experience.
Okafor is 6'11, 270 pounds out of Chicago's Whitney Young.
Okafor averaged 21 points and nine rebounds during his junior season while finishing second to Jabari Parker for Mr. Basketball of Illinois.
Okafor is considering Arizona, Baylor, Duke, Illinois, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan State and Ohio State.
