Scouting Michigan targets at Nike Elite 100

Nike’s Elite 100 camp featured a number of the top underclassmen in the country this week in St. Louis.

A friend of the blog was in attendance and provided these thoughts. We’ll have more in a recruiting roundup soon.

Luke Kennard: He does a little bit of everything well. Can shoot it from deep or attack the rim. He showed a lot of aggression attacking the bucket and forcing the defense to converge on him all weekend long.

Dwayne Bacon: He’s unbelievably talented. He’s strong and found his way into the lane on a number of occasions by simply overpowering his defender. I just wish Bacon always played with high intensity.

Corey Sanders: An impressive athlete, Sanders made some difficult shots and found open teammates for high-percentage looks. I definitely thought his vision was one of the better amongst those at the camp.

Sedrick Barefield: His handles are excellent, but he sometimes found his way into trouble once he hit the lane. He has a very deft touch from the perimeter and mid-range. If he works on finding teammates in better spots, he will make for a very good lead guard.

Jalen Brunson: Such a competitor. He was one of the toughest kids at camp and did everything in his power to will his team to victories. He’s got a solid shot from behind the arc and can take you off the bounce and do damage. Definitely one of my favorites.

Seems to be about in line with what I’ve read in other places with the exception of Sanders.

Kennard: can do it all.

Bacon: highly skilled but a little lazy.

Barefield: great shot and handles but needs to keep his head up and find teammates.

Brunson sounds like the most polished and well rounded of our PG targets at the moment.

With Sanders though the other guy questioned(like me) if he’s really a PG or just an undersized 2 guard with sick handles.

EDIT: I also just saw this on Twitter.

Was impressed w 6-4 sg Luke Kennard. Lefty has bounce, can score going either direction, handles well, doesnt turn it over.
