Since I last wrote I’ve been pretty busy with school, SATs and AAU.

My AAU team, the Roadrunners, has been doing a lot of traveling lately (Philly Jamfest and Pittsburgh Jamfest). We had some disappointing losses and didn’t do as well as we would have liked but it was still nice to take the trip out there and play against some of the great competition that was at each of the tournaments.

Player Blog: Isaiah Lewis Trims List to Five

By Adam Zagoria on March 26, 2012, 6:51PM

Isaiah Lewis, one of the top point guards in the Class of 2013 out of New York’s Christ the King High School, will be contributing periodically to ZAGSBLOG during his junior season. Here’s his second entry in which he discusses cutting his school list to five schools: Louisville, Kansas, Florida State, Georgia Tech and Memphis. 

**Louisville — “I really like the ‘Ville. I think Coach [Rick] Pitino is a Hall of Fame coach. He knows how to win and gets the best out of his players. He is an uptempo-style coach and I love to run. The fan base is great at Louisville.

**Kansas – ”A great tradition. Coach [Bill] Self is a great coach and a great guy also. I love how he runs his offense, letting his guards play pick and roll and letting them create. The fan base is crazy. Kansas fans support their basketball 100 percent and I love that. Coach [Joe] Dooley and coach[Kurtis]  Townsend are also cool. It’s also good to talk to them on the phone.” (more…)

I think we are clicking right now and our chemistry is great.  (more…)

Hey Everyone:

This is Tyler Roberson again updating you on my high school team’s season and my recruitment. Currently, our team is 9-6 and ranked No. 19 in N.J. We have played such a tough schedule (we played 6 games vs teams ranked in the state Top 10) and have dealt with lots of injuries so far this year. I’m really proud of how hard we have been playing. We most recently upset No. 9 St Pat’s by three points in the Coalition to House the Homeless Classic. (more…)

As far as basketball, my recruitment has picked up with schools like Pitt, FSU and Villanova all offering me, but I still have a list of Memphis, Kansas, Georgia Tech, Florida and Louisville. (more…)

My name is DeAndre Bembry and I go to St.Patrick High School in Elizabeth, N.J.

I am a 6-foot-6, 195 pound transfer from North Carolina from a school called Rocky River. The school was brand new and so was the team.

I started at the three as a sophomore playing varsity, and I averaged 17 points, 9.2 rebounds and three blocks.

I came to St.Patrick looking for a bunch of talent to play with and to play against and that’s what I got. (more…)

Tyler Roberson’s Hoops Blog

By Adam Zagoria on December 24, 2011, 7:28AM

Tyler Roberson, one of the top small forwards in the Class of 2013 out of Roselle (N.J.) Catholic, will be contributing periodically to ZAGSBLOG during his junior season. Here’s his first entry:

For anyone who may not know, my name is Tyler Roberson and I’m a 6’8 small forward from Union, N.J.

I’m currently a junior at Roselle Catholic High School in Roselle N.J. This is my first year at RC and I’m currently sitting out the mandatory 30 days for all transfers. Sitting out watching my team compete is really hard to do, but it’s given me the chance to see the game from a different perspective and also spend some extra time adjusting to my new school and work hard on my grades.

Currently we are 3-1 with our only loss coming to St Benedict’s, who is 7-0 and one of the top teams in the country. Our team is working hard every day in practice to get better and play together as a team since we have some new guys this year and most of last year’s 22-7 RC team is back also. (more…)
