Findlay Prep

Irving’s 30 points not enough to beat Findlay

After trailing by eight at the half, St. Patrick (Elizabeth, N.J.) pulled to within two points with just one second left in regulation. And the reason for the comeback, point guard Kyrie Irving, was at the line.

Irving sunk the first free throw, but the Duke signee missed the second and the No. 1 team in the country fell to 3rd-ranked Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) at the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass., on the Martin Luther King holiday. MORE >

Sullinger drops No. 1 Findlay Prep

Words. Jason Jordan

Jared Sullinger swished two clutch free throws with four seconds left in regulation to help Northland (Ohio) knock off No. 1-ranked Findlay Prep (Nev.), 53-52, Thursday night at the Rike Center in Westerville, Ohio.

The game was televised nationally on ESPN, and Sullinger, an Ohio State signee, seized the opportunity to show why he’s rated fourth in the HSH Top 50, dropping 32 points and snatching 17 rebounds. MORE >

Trouble Brewing For Findlay Prep On ESPN Right Now

Words. Aron Phillips

If you’re not watching No. 1 Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) vs. No. 13 Northland (Columbus, Ohio) on ESPN right now, you’re missing some of the best prospects in the country battle it out. I personally got to spend 10 days in France with the three best players on the floor (the Findlay Prep duo of Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph and Northland’s Jared Sullinger) this past summer, and they will surely be in the League.

Findlay Prep Is The Next Oak Hill

Words. Aron Phillips

In 2007, Donnie Seals was working a dead end job at a finance company that was just starting to sniff the beginnings of a horrible economy. In 2008, he found himself packing up all of his belongings and heading to Las Vegas to shoot pictures, edit video and ultimately tell a fantastic story. In 2009, he was laid off. While his salary may be gone, the passion he has for this story still exists, and he’s been working hard to keep it alive through a documentary. The Season is the story of the Findlay Prep Basketball team in Henderson, Nevada - perhaps (currently) the best high school basketball program in the country. MORE >

  Austin Rivers (2011), 6-3, 175, SG
  
  Winter Park, FL
  
  Rivers' quickness makes defenders want to back up, but his shooting ability makes them have to guard him close. No player in the country hunts and finds his shot as aggressively as Rivers, who tallied more 40-point games than anybody in the country this summer. The scary part is that he's getting better and better every day.

  Quincy Miller (2011), 6-10, 170, SF/PF
  
  Westchester Academy (High Point, N.C.)
  
  Miller dominates all facets offensively, but his best attribute may be his ability to keep the defense off balance with his shooting ability from deep. Miller averaged 32 points during the 2010 AAU season.

  Michael Gilchrist (2011), 6-7, 190, SF

  Myck Kabongo (2011), 6-2, 170, PG

  James McAdoo (2011), 6-9, 205, PF

  Shabazz Muhammad (2012), 6-6, 193, SF
  
  Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, NV)
  
  Muhammad is smooth but effective, evidenced by his 31-point average during the AAU season. His jump shot is accurate and he uses his big, strong body to absorb contact and finish in the paint.

  Perspectives Charter School (Chicago, IL)
  
  Committed to Kentucky. Lean and quick, Davis uses his athleticism and skill to dominate in the paint. He's versatile enough to consistently knock down jump shots and has a solid handle. Davis gave opposing big men fits all summer.

  Upper Room Christian (Raleigh, NC)
  
  The youngster ranked this high? Yes indeed! Purvis is the perfect combination of athleticism and skill and has a gear that most only dream about. His jumper has improved, and he's a lockdown defender that gets to the cup whenever he wants against whoever he wants.

  Jabari Brown (2011), 6-3, 196, SG
  
  Oakland, CA

  Committed to Ohio State. Don't let the height fool you, Ross is quicker than most perimeter defenders and long enough to finish in the lane for high-percentage shots, yet has the ability to consistently hit outside shots. He's added a fadeaway that's almost as automatic as a layup.
