Price High School hosted a day full of games on Martin Luther King Day. The following schools were in attendance: San Diego St., UCLA, USC, Washington, Gonzaga, UC Irvine, UC Davis, Pepperdine, CSU Northridge, Boise St., Idaho & Duquesne.

Tyler Dorsey, 6’3, Ribet Academy (2015) – Dorsey is the total package as he’s listed at 6’3 and has the ability to take his defender off the dribble, pull up or take it to the rim. He has length for his size which gives him the ability to guard any guard. In his win on MLK he finished with 21 points and the most surprising part was he showed off playmaking skills that I haven’t from him before. Dorsey made pass after pass for easy buckets, sucking in the defense and dumping off to one of his bigs.

Idrissa Diallo, 6’9, Ribet Academy (2014) – Diallo is a physical specimen as he already has the build of an upperclassman and a motor to back it up. He showed off his activity with 18 rebounds in his lone game. While saying all that the sophomore is extremely raw with no developed skills outside of his athletically ability. High/mid major programs need to have him on his radar and how much work he puts into his game over the next year or two will determine what level he will be playing.

Marcus LoVett Jr., 5’11, Providence (2015) – This was my first look at LoVett since “The Run” put on by Ball is Life. This kid still lives up to the hype as he is going to be a star in Los Angeles for the next four years. He has the chance to follow in the footsteps of the amazing PG’s to come out of southern California (Baron Davis, Brandon Jennings, etc). He finished the game with 30 points with numerous moves that made your jaw drop, had a chance to win the game but front rimmed a step back three.  LoVett does play on a team with limited talent around him as you can see from the amount of shots he takes, but he must trust his teammates when he has double and triples teams coming his way.

Skylar Spencer, 6’9, Price (2012) – The SDSU signee continues to grow physically and is developing into a monster. Spencer now stands at 6’9 with the hope he will reach 7 feet tall. His offensive game is still a work in progress but looks much more comfortable than in previous outings. When he steps on the SDSU campus his presence will be felt instantly on the defensive end as he will be an absolute force as the last line of defense. In the Price victory, Spencer finished with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Chance Murray, 6’3, Price (2013) – Murray’s jumper was off in this one but it didn’t stop him from having a solid performance. He has the tools to be an absolute stud with all the physical tools, the talent and a great feel for the game. When asked what he needs to work on to take his game to the next level, Chance said “Be more vocal, more of a leader and more aggressive.” Also shared with me that he holds offers from Arizona St., Cal, Washington, USC, UCLA & Washington St, with no timetable on when he would like to come to a decision.

La Verne Lutheran at Orange Lutheran – in a game where Grant Jerrett was in foul trouble all game it was Eric Cooper and Brian Beard who picked up the slack for the big man in a big way. Beard was the leading force getting into the lane at will and Cooper in the final seconds had a offensive rebound put back to give La Verne the road victory over Orange Lutheran 61-58. Arizona Commit Gabe York was still missing in action as he was not cleared by doctors. Things got worse for York as he was suspended Wednesday for two games as he played in an adult league game which is against CIF rules.
