Unsigned Senior Showcase 2011

Terrell "Sleepy" Daye (West Philly), Carrington Ward (P.E.T.), Mamadou Diakite (Constitution), Tyreek "Ty-Ty" Riddick (MCS)


On Sunday April 10th, 2011...Retroaction/Runhouse.net put on a senior show case with some of the top seniors in the area who are unsigned and looking for an opportunity to play next year in a college setting. The two games started off at 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock. The two games provided coaches from all over the opportunity look at some top prospects that have yet to sign on the dotted line to help change around and enhance their programs.

In the first game featured some really high prospects from the area that continued to show that they could play on a high level if they use their skills in the right way.

Carrington Ward (P.E.T.) who could easily be a big time prospect for a mid/low major D1 to an All American at the D2 level. In this game, he scored 34 pts. 5 rbs. 6 asst. and 5 stls. This kid has all the natural instinct of an elite player. He manages to stretch the game for himself and others in order to help his team win. He has a lot of upside being 6'3" and shows no sign of slowing down at attacking the rim. His game speaks in volumes He probably is the best unsigned player in the area, with his ability to shoot the ball, point guard skills, finishes hard and plays major defense.

Tyreek Riddick (MCS) 6'2" He scored 17 pts. & 4 asst. while hitting four 3 pointers. He's a sharpshooter, show some great signs of life in the game. He makes everything around him come to him naturally. He showed signs of a handle and the ability to get up on players. He's been a real true threat to players lately and makes no mistake in forgetting about the last play and continuing on. I think he would be a great D2 player, especially in a 4-out or 5-out or transitional type of team.


Mamadou Diakite (Constitution) 6'5" Big Bully inside...He's built like a football player. He looks like he should be playing for Penn State or Temple but has made a constant upward development progress in his game. He made some great plays in rout to 15 pts. and 12 rbs. He seems to not step away from contact and finished hard on 3 occasion where he scored a basket and a free throw. He has great touch from the line and gets up and down the floor pretty good. He's definitely a D2 Player but would be a great D3 player.

Terrell Daye (West Philly) 6'3" Left handed guard who attacks the rim. He shows signs of a really good D2 player and still has room to grow and improve. He has great upside and he will be a really good player. He has the attitude that nobody else has and people really sleep on him. He makes the game come him through being everywhere on the floor to make sure that he can stay in the flow of things. He scored 19 pts. and 8 rbs. I think he could be something special.


Other recognitions:

Kenny Johnson (Abington Friends) 6'2"---Plays with passion but has all the IQ's of an elite player, could be a D1 player after JUCO but a very effective D2 player if he goes that rout. Either way wouldn't be bad. 11 pts.

Chris Stokes (MCS) 6'0"---scored 12 pts. in this game and showed he could hit the outside shot and make smart decisions on the floor. He definitely is a leader on the floor if given the opportunities and has the skills to make adjustments through the game.

Elijah Bradley (School of the Future) 6'6"---He grabbed 15 rebounds. He solidly made the game look easy on the boards. He went up strong with 2 hands and grabbed everything. Great catch and finish. He's very long and athletic and could be a easy 4 on the D2 or D3 level.

Bakari White/ Terrell Johnson (Imhotep) 5'9"---Both are the same size and you could get away from either one. I think both could play on the D2 level but would great in a D3 setting. They have the ability to push the ball up the floor and looks for others in transition.

Basir Fulmore (Dobbins) 6'3"---Has skills and shows ability to attack the rim. He has the skills to play on the D2 level but could also be a JUCO kid. He knows the game and is a true general on the floor. He definitely has a future in college and would be hard to pass on.

Jose Figueroa (Plumstead Christian) 6'6"---His height doesn't describe his game. He reminds of you a bigger kid. Like a guy that could stand toe to toe with someone 6'8". Has great hands and finishes well around the rim, runs the floor and sets up hard. I like this guy for D2.

Elijah Johnson (Lamberton) 6'5"---GREAT SIZE and can shoot the ball. He makes players off and on the ball. He has great mechanics and has consistency with the game. He could be a serious matchup problem for players in D2.

In the second game,

Tyree Johnson (Penn Wood) 5'9" scored 20 pts. & had 10 asst. He has a sharp eye for the floor. He's so fast and has the ability to make plays all over the place. He's a very strong individual that has all the talent in the world to be a D1 player. He was a RBK All American Player.

Mark Wilmer (Prep Charter) 6'6" scored 20 pts. 15 rbs. With JUCO or Prep School work could play low D1 but would be much more effective at the high level in D2. He always seems to be overlooked but has the ability to finish around the rim and is always in the right place.

Markeith Mont (World Comm.) 6'5" scored 16 pts. & makes all the proper decision. This kid was all public/all city/all state and the mvp of his division and one of the top scorers in the city this year, scoring well over 1,000 points in his career. With JUCO or Prep School, he's definitely D1. He's gotten looks from VCU, LaSalle & Rider at one point. He definitely can play the game.

Tyhiem Perrin (Imhotep) 6'4" scored 12 pts. and grabbed 9 rbs. He's is an everything type of guy. Even though he plays guard, he could be a huge prospect for a team looking for someone to be consistent, tough and effective in every way. This is the kid, I would pick up for any purpose, especially defensively.

Darrell Robinson (Bartram) 5'11" scored 16 pts. He's really a quick guard and has all the potential to play on different levels. I think he would benefit from JUCO and would be a solid D2 player and would make a difference on any time in so many different ways.

Earl Brown (Imhotep) 6'6" scored 13 pts. and had 12 rbs. He makes the game come very easy with the minimum amount of shots he takes. He would easily be a big time player if he played for another school. He has D1 talent and skill. He is a solid 4 man but can develop into a great 3. I like the future of this kid. He would dominate D2 if used right and developed.

Andrew Moye (Gratz) 6'3" scored 16 pts. and all the hustle plays during the entire game. He had 6 stls. and made it very difficult for his opponent to score. He never forces things but he is the hard nose player that schools are looking for. I heard some really good D2 schools are after him. He approaches the game with the go-getter attitude.

Others to watch:

Turhan Griffin 6'1" (FLC)---He has the point guard mentality but can shoot the ball. He has skills that would put him in good class of players. He makes very good decisions and makes others around him so much better. He's definitely a D2 talent.

Barry Brockington 6'4" (Bartram)---Mr. Everything. He makes the game come easy because of his decision making. He knows when to run the floor, he can beat any man of the dribble and has pretty good athletic ability and length. He's definitely a D2 talent.

Thomas Moore 5'11" (MCS)---Go-getting guard. I like this kids style. Very smooth and consistent with what he does. He picks and chooses his battles and knows where and what to do with the ball. He's a great on and off the ball defender also. Very quick and elusive. D2

Warren Dogan 6'2" (MCS)---When under control, could be the most lethal player around. He actually has a D1 mentality towards the game with a few adjustments, that I know he could make. He definitely can shoot and get up the floor. D2 effectively.
