Predictions for Detroit Public Schools League Basketball

20 Dec

The Detroit PSL basketball league portion of the schedule opened up on Tuesday, and this year looks to be once again another competitive year within the DPS. The league sports many of the state’s top ranked teams, as well as some teams that could surprise us come playoff time. There are two divisions in the DPS, the East Division and the West Division. Between the two divisions, the East is completely stacked this year. Teams like Douglass, Southeastern, Pershing, and East English Village all carry players that are holding offers and gaining interest from some of the country’s best college basketball programs. On the flip side, the West may only have one or two teams that can compete for a city title, however, more teams in that division are unknown at this point in the season. For example, Western has always been a doormat in the league but this year things could be different for the Cowboys. With that being said, this ought to be one exciting season.

East Division

(1.) Pershing (2.) Douglass (3.) Southeastern (4.) East English Village (5.) King (6.) Osborn (7.) Denby (8.) Central (9.) Davis

West Division

(1.) Cass Tech (2.) Renaissance (3.) Cody (4.) Western (5.) Ford (6.) Mumford (7.)Northwestern (8.) CMA (9.) Westside

Interview with Eric Davis of Saginaw Arthur Hill

16 Dec

Eric Davis is a sophomore at Saginaw Arthur Hill, who is one of the top guards in the class of 2015, evident by the fact that schools like Kentucky and MSU are already showing interest.  Eric can flat-out score the ball, but his bread and ball are his shooting abilities.  If he fills out his 6’3″ body, and becomes more aggressive with his driving game, this kid will absolutely receive attention from the top programs in the country.

Metro Detroit/Saginaw Valley League Challenge

14 Dec

Tomorrow December 14, I will be attending my first high school basketball games of the season at West Bloomfield High School for the Metro Detroit/ Saginaw Valley League Challenge.  Here is the schedule for the day:

12:30pm-W. Bloomfield vs. Flint Northern; 2pm-Gibraltar Carleton vs. Saginaw Buena Vista; 3:30pm-Ypsilanti vs. North Farmington; 5pm-Taylor Truman vs. Ann Arbor Huron; 6:30pm-Detroit King vs. Saginaw Arthur Hill; 8pm-Saginaw vs. Detroit Southeastern

A couple games that catch my eye are the King vs. Saginaw Arthur Hill game.  The Hill has one of the top C/O 2015 guards in Eric Davis.  To complement Davis, Jalen Adams will provide highlights galore in this game.  The second game that caught my eye is the North Farmington vs. Ypsilanti.  Another top 2015 player, 6-6 Jeron Rogers will be in action and could very well put on a show.

This will be a great day of hoops in the Metro Detroit Area.  The defending Class A champs will be in attendance, Saginaw, as well as some other up and coming teams, should be a talent rich challenge.

Players to watch: Flint Northern’s Amari Ivory. Arthur Hill’s Eric Davis and Jalen Adams. Buena Vista’s Vonta Brookins, Armondi Rogers and Carl Moore, Saginaw’s Julian Anderson, Keyon Addison, Jerry Smith and Markell Bradshaw.  Truman’s Aaron Foster-Smith, Anthony Wartley-Fritz, Devin Goodwill, Devian Newbill.

2012 Basketball Season

8 Dec

The boys basketball season has officially begun in the State of Michigan, with many of the states top teams and players located right here in the southeastern part of the state.  Teams like Detroit Pershing, Romulus, Detroit Douglass, and Rochester are all locked and loaded to make a deep state title run.  The month on December plays host to many of the state’s top showcases/ tournaments.  A couple tournaments are taking place right now on December eighth, but as we approach Christmas time, more and more tournaments will show.  I am providing a link to a website that has listed on of the state’s top tip-off showcases located in the Metro-Detroit Area.  I will be attending these  tournaments scouting the courts for talent in an attempt to not only make this a football blog, but also one that consist of basketball as well.
