The Running Rebels will be making an appearance at the GBOA North tournament and you can bet they will be making some noise. I am going to give you a rundown of the team and who my player to watch is.

First, we have Montrel Clark who definitely stands out on the court with his size and athleticism. This six-foot-nine forward has amazing shot blocking ability and is a threat to any opponent. Clark has received attention from numerous schools including Kentucky, Alabama, Baylor, and Pittsburg.

Up next we have Elgin Cook, son of former NBA star Alvin Robertson. Cook definitely does not hide in his father’s shadow, already receiving attention from Virginia as a freshman! Fellow teammate forward Darnel Harris is also receiving interest from Virginia.

Perhaps one of the most recognizable players for the Running Rebels is Jeronne Maymon. Maymon is the AP Player of the year in Wisconsin and is being recruited by Kentucky, Florida, Iowa State, and many more so you know the kid is a big time talent. This six-foot-six wing has had an awesome season this year and will be a stand out at the GBOA tournament.

Rounding off the team we have DeMarcus Phillips who is Mr. Basketball for the state of Wisconsin and just committed to Marshalltown for next fall. Chauncey Williams is another lights out shooter receiving interest from the University of Minnesota.

The Running Rebels have a very strong team, but super freshman Larry Bradley is my player to watch. Bradley is already receiving heavy interest from Illinois and Tennessee, and Rivals.com is projecting him to be one of the top three players in the 2011 class! Bradley is a great shooter with great form and always finishes strong. This player looks like he will be making a lot of noise in the next few years so get familiar with his name now!
