Rankings: #1 in SWFL Class of  2010, rated 37th best 2010 prospect in Florida by Hoop Scoop Online, ranked #31 in Florida's 2010 class by Breakdown Magazine

Notes:  Big point guard with a high skill level and high basketball IQ.  Has the size and quickness to get in to the lane when needed.  Good at changing speeds to get by defenders.  Has improved his ability to get all the way to the basket and use his big body to absorb contact and make a play.  Also has the ability to knock down shots from anywhere on the court, mid-range or deep, and whether it be on the catch or bounce.  As a point guard he is solid with the ball and passes it well in traffic to the open man.  Great at going in and rebounding the ball on the defensive end and instantly pushing the ball into the open court where he is probably the most affective.  Defensively he has the lateral quickness and size to guard both guard positions as well as smaller wing forwards.  Used a solid spring/summer on the travel scene to garner interest from multiple division 1 schools but decided he will play for Appalachian State in Boone, North Carolina.
