Notes and Observations
- 2014 Spiece Indy Heat guard Trevon Bluiett had a monster weekend on the stat sheet, averaging 15 points per game while shooting the lights out from the field. Bluiett is a scorer, and a winner, and he’s a likely bet for a Michigan offer on June 15th.
- Devin Booker struggled with his shot throughout the weekend but still drew some praise from national media – it’s impressive for a player labeled as a shooter to look good while missing shots.
- Reggie Cameron had a couple of monster performances including a 26 point, seven rebound, 10-of-15 (5-5 3pt) shooting game against All Iowa Attack. He hit five threes in two of five games on the weekend.
- James Young is making it clear that he wants a Kentucky offer and had another strong weekend but not nearly as strong as a week ago. Don’t hold your breath while waiting for any mutual interest to spark between Michigan and Young.
Scouts Say
NBE Basketball was at Boo Williams and came away impressed with a pair of Michigan targets, 2013 Reggie Cameron and 2014 Trevon Blueitt.
Reggie Cameron (NJ Playaz 2013) – Eventually the rest of the country is going to learn what the Northeast already knows that Reggie Cameron is a big time scorer. The 6’8” forward has one of the smoothest jumpers in America and is comfortable with it well past the college 3 point line. His basketball IQ also stands out as he has excellent footwork and sees the floor very well. Quickness remains an issue but is something that Cameron is constantly working on to improve his overall game.
Trevon Blueitt (Indy Spiece 2014) – In the best game I watched today, Blueitt was the star among stars. The 6’5” physical wing buried countless jumpers and also mixed it up in the lane. He’s a pure scorer in every sense always looking for his shot but not in a selfish way. Blueitt understands his role and plays to that role by putting the ball in the basket through any means necessary.
NBE wasn’t the only outlet that noticed Trevon Bluiett’s strong play, 247 sports noted that Bluiett has seen his recruitment take off in recent weeks including new interest from Florida.
With his strong play, 6-foot-5 Indy Spiece 2014 shooting guardTrevon Bluiett has seen his recruitment take off recently, with several new schools entering the fray.
Through three games in Hampton, Bluiett averaged 16.6 points while shooting 47 percent (8 of 17) from beyond the arc. Saturday morning, Bluiett torched Houston Hoops for 22 points including 4 of 7 3-pointers in a 75-73 win.
“Florida called me yesterday or two days ago,” said Bluiett, who also rattled off Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan Notre Dame, Indiana, Butler and Xavier.
“I’m looking for a brotherhood on and off the court, a special connection. As long as I feel I’m right for that program.”
