  • PHILADELPHIA – Here is a quick rundown of some school lists and college targets from the Reebok All-American Camp here in Philly…

    Louisville is focusing on 2009 player Durand Scott of Rice (pictured) and 2010 targets 6-4 Doron Lamb, 6-7 Roscoe Smith and 6-7 C.J. Fair.

    Fordham is focusing on getting at least one of the three St. Anthony big men, all of whom are here: Derrick Williams, Ashton Pankey and Devon Collier. The Rams are also looking at Kyle Casey and OD Anosike.

    Seton Hall has offered the following players ships (although this is not an all-inclusive list): senior Dominic Cheek of St. Anthony, who just made the USA U-18 team; senior forward Tevin Baskin of Stamford (Conn.) Trinity Catholic; junior guard Kyrie Irving of St. Patrick; junior guard Isaiah Epps of PLainfield, who was not at the camp because of injury; forward Derrick Williams of St. Anthony; junior forwards Fuquan Edwin and Trevor Clemmings and junior guard Jayon James, all of Paterson Catholic; and Seton Hall Prep sophomore guard Sterling Gibbs.

    St. John’s is recruiting Devon Collier, Ashton Pankey, Jayvaughn Pinkston, Tobias Harris, Karron Johnson and Myck Kabongo, among others.

    Rutgers has offered Edwin, Clemmings, Baskin, Epps, Cheek, Gibbs, Kevin Parrom and Tobias Harris.

    Here are a few quick notes from tonight’s All-Star Games at the Hoop Group Elite camp at The College of New Jersey…

    **Some coaches on hand: Rutgers head coach Fred Hill, UMass head coach Derek Kellogg, West Virginia assistant Billy Hahn, Florida Atlantic assistant Mike Jarvis Jr. and Steve DeMeo, now at Central Florida.

    **Remember the name Rakeem Christmas. He is a 6-9 rising sophomore from Philly North Catholic and he is an athletic freak. Wears size 17 shoes and Dropped in 16 points for the Blue team to earn MVP honors in a losing effort.  White won, 106-99. (Read more at here at maxxathlete.com) Says he has interest from Memphis, Florida, Maryland and Virginia. I’ll be shocked if this kid doesn’t have a ton of offers before long. Check out these video highlights from last December.

    I might be driving my car into submission by going back and forth from the Reebok All-American Camp in Philly to the Hoop Group events at The College of New Jersey, and my back hurts a little as well, but you know what they say, No pain, no gain…Anyway, here are some Seton Hall notes from the day…

    **Pirates head coach Bobby Gonzalez and assistant Scott Adubato were on hand in Philly today watching games. Gonzo is very excited about Missouri transfer Keon Lawrence of Newark, who dropped 25 points in a loss at Kansas last year and 24 in a loss at Texas Tech and whom Gonzo thinks is a potential “pro.”
