PC Recruit Makes USA U17 Team

USA Basketball announced the final 12 man roster for the U17 team that will play in the FIBA U17 World Championships beginning on August 8th in Dubai. 33 players were invited to try out overall, including 6 PC recruits. Only 1 of those 6 actually made the final cut:

2016 Tyus Battle (Gill St. Bernard’s School/ Edison, N.J.)

The other 5 PC recruits that tried out but didn’t make the team are:

USA’s first game in the preliminary round of Group A play in Dubai is August 8th against Greece. The other preliminary round games will be August 9th against Angola and August 11th against the Philippines. The USA is a two-time defending champion at the FIBA U17 World Championships.

PC Recruits Try Out for USA U17 Team

Ed Cooley was on Billy Donovan’s staff for the U18 FIBA Americas games in June. These players will be trying out for the U17 USA squad that will compete in the FIBA U17 World Championships from August 8th-16th in Dubai. Per USA Basketball, July 25th will be the only day of the tryouts that college coaches will be allowed in to evaluate the 33 players trying out for the team during the third and final live evaluation period.

Here are the 6 PC recruits, all in the class of 2016 except Eric Davis, that are trying out for the U17 USA team in Colorado Springs:

PC Recruiting Guide to the Third July Evaluation Period

This will be the last of three live evaluation periods in the month of July where college coaches are allowed to attend and evaluate recruits. These three live periods are so critical as coaches can start to really focus on specific targets and maybe even have a new player catch their eye so they can offer and get involved. I’ll be taking a look at some of the major grassroots events that are in this third live period and giving you a list of PC recruits that will be in attendance at each one. This will be a working document so if/when I see a name that PC is recruiting at one of these events and I don’t have the player listed I will add him. Also, if you want to keep track of where Ed Cooley and the rest of the PC staff is during this live period, click here.

Note: All teams are 17U unless otherwise noted.

Las Vegas Fab 48 (Las Vegas, NV) 7/24-7/27

This is likely where you will see Ed Cooley and the PC staff spending a lot of time because Donovan Mitchell will be at this event. Mitchell isn’t the only one though and the staff will likely be able to go between the Fab 48, the Adidas Super 64, The 8 Tournament and the Las Vegas Classic as the events are all within easy driving distance of each other.

Game times are local to Vegas.

Second July Live Evaluation Period PC Recruiting Recap

With the way these July live evaluation periods are from Wednesday through Sunday each of these weeks, I thought it would be best to change around the weekly recruiting updates from Friday’s to Monday’s until these live periods end. To see the preview that I put together and updated throughout the second live period, click here. This recap looks similar to the preview except I give some info from each event and how the recruits played. To see where Ed Cooley and the rest of the PC staff were during the second live period, click here.
