You may have never heard of Dwaun Anderson before today. Don’t worry, neither had I. But the 6-3 junior guard from Suttons Bay (MI) High School is taking over the state of Michigan. Already with scholarship offers from Utah, Central Michigan and Oakland, Anderson has also drawn interest from Michigan State, Michigan and Dayton. And if you watch the video below, you can see why.
With the high school basketball season wrapping up in the next month or so, it’s time to see who’s made themselves the best of the best.

During the broadcast, the top 24 male and female high school basketball players in the country (that are seniors) will be selected to play in the prestigious 2010 Games set to tip off in Columbus, Ohio on March 31.

If you don’t know about 6-3 freshman phenom Rodney Purvis, then you don’t know prep hoops. Our friends at Hoopmixtape caught up with the kid from Upper Room Christian Academy in Raleigh, N.C.

While everyone had football on the brain for yesterday’s Super Bowl Sunday, the day also featured one of NYC’s most touted high school hoops rivalries between Christ the King (Queens, N.Y.) and Rice (Harlem, N.Y.).

Signed with North Carolina. Barnes combines a flawless and versatile offensive repertoire with an intensity on both ends that separates him from his peers.
You’d be hard pressed to find someone faster in the 2010 class and beyond. Knight seems to make the right plays every time and has an array of breakdown moves that create easy scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Signed with Ohio State. Sullinger is a master at using his big frame to absorb contact and finish in traffic. He’s active, has great hands and a wide array of low post moves.
Somewhat committed to Florida. Rivers’ quickness makes defenders want to back up, but his shooting ability makes them have to guard him close. Add in wicked passing skills and Rivers is the complete package.
Signed with Duke. Quick, fast and skilled, Irving is a big time scoring point guard who also makes his teammates better with his exceptional court vision.
Big-time scorer who doubles as an underrated passer, Wroten fills up the stat sheet and plays with a confidence that translates into success. However, he could miss his entire junior season after injuring his knee playing football.
Combines a quick first step with some of the best handles on the list to dominate opponents. Teague is a gifted scorer in a variety of different ways and involves teammates to balance his repertoire.
Versatile enough to breakdown defenders on the wing and athletic enough to put them on a poster, Leslie may very well have the best high-wire act on the list.
Signed with Texas. Thompson defines the new age big forward, slim and versatile player who reaps the benefits of running the floor. Thompson is constantly active, which allows him to excel on the offensive and defensive glass.
