2019 Fullcourt Press Spring League: Report III
(March 19, 2019)

The 2019 Fullcourt Press Spring League tipped-off for Week 3 this past Sunday (March 17^th) at Santiago HS (Garden Grove CA).

We noted several nice efforts for Week 2 (March 10^th) in my last report: http://www.fullctpress.net/19-spring-league-report-2.html

Listed below are several of the standouts from last Sunday’s action.

Bradley Ezewiro                             6’8”     2020   Bishop Montgomery (Torrance CA)
Powerful lefty PF has a style of game reminiscent of Julius Randle.  Bradley has great mitts on the block, explodes through contact and has a better than expected face-up range that extends to the 3-point line.  Had a very impressive double/double effort (24 points/21 rebound) in one of his league games last Sunday. 

As his motor and consistent energy improves, so will his high-major recruiting stock.  Hearing recently from the likes of Washington, Oregon State, DePaul, Cal State Fullerton, UC-Davis, Montana and Cleveland State.

TJ Wainwright                                 6’2”     2021   Santa Monica (CA)
High-scoring young lead guard had a monster 52 point game in one of his league contests on Sunday, connecting on a vast variety of 3-point daggers, mid-range pull-up jump shots and slashing drives to the cup. TJ also has pin-point passing ability and rebounds well for his length.  Unofficially visited LSU last Fall and has also heard this year from Ohio State, San Diego State, UC-Santa Barbara, Tulane and Santa Clara.  HM prospect that has already cracked the national Top 100 in his class by 247Sports.com

Michael Ofoegbu                            6’7”     2020   Mayfair (Lakewood CA)
Long, wiry and athletic WF is reclassifying to 2020 and plans to attend a prep school next Fall. Active on the glass, Ofoegbu attacks the glass with authority and has an underrated perimeter shot. 

Robert McRae                                 6’4”     2019   Fairfax (Los Angeles CA)
One of SoCal’s top unsigned seniors is a very good all-around guard that effects the game in multiple ways (scoring, passing, rebounding & defending). Key component of Fairfax’s 2019 LA-City CIF title and was named 2019 Western League co-MVP.  Very good student had a Cal Poly offer prior to coaching change in San Luis Obispo.

 

Kaelen Allen                                    6’6”     2019   Westchester (Los Angeles CA)
Strong but undersized power-forward is a force down low and is a consistent producer. Potentially a valuable, ready to play, D1 spring signee.  Reminds me a lot of a physically better version of former Westchester star Scott Cutley (who had a very good career at Cal State Fulllerton).

Christian Oliver                               6’10”  2020   Santa Clara (Oxnard CA)
Wide-body post has made nice progress over the past two years.  Oliver has a nice touch in the paint and is a very solid rebounder. Just led his Santa Clara squad to the 2019 CIF-SS Division V-AA title and was named 2019 John Wooden CIF Division V Player of the Year.

Quincy McGriff                                6’5”     2020   Santa Monica (CA)
Strong WF is a high-octane scorer and underrated passer.  Primed for a big spring & summer.

Chris Koon                                      6’5”     2019   Rolling Hills Prep (Palos Verdes CA)
Skilled forward with nice spot-up jump shot.   Off-the-charts student (4.5 GPA/1290 SAT).

Aidan Prukop                                  6’4”     2020   Mater Dei (Santa Ana CA)
Sharpshooting WG has deep range on shot.  Very good student too.

Gary Harris                                      6’5”     2019   Middlebrooks Academy (Los Angeles CA)
Athletic slashing scorer excels in fast-paced tempo.

Nick Abbott                                      6’7”     Santa Clara (Oxnard CA)
Unsigned senior sleeper with great athletic wing frame and major bounce as well.

DJ Allen                                            6’6”     2021   St. Anthony (Long Beach CA)
Very promising young swingman is an excellent slashing scorer with a strong build.  One to track in 2021.

Denim Dawson                               6’4”     2021   Colony (Ontario CA)
Athletic wing defends at a high level and is quick off the bounce.  Nice upside.

Roman Solomon                            6’3”     2019   Pasadena (CA) 
Strong off-guard is a confident scorer.

Kyle Braun                                       6’1”     2020   Calabasas (CA)
Heady combo-guard with an accurate perimeter shot.

Jalen Vasquez                                5’11”  2022   Bishop Montgomery (Torrance CA)
Young and savvy point guard with accurate 3-point stroke.  Older brother & BM teammate Josh Vasquez has signed with Montana.

Isaac Peralta                                    5’11”  2022   Mater Dei (Santa Ana CA)
Hard-working and productive lead guard competes on every play.  Like his energy, attitude and work-ethic.
