Indiana kids have a good crowd
Herb Sendek and Mike Brey slid in to watch the SYF Players out of Indiana sneak by the South Carolina Ravens in overtime. And
Jamil Tucker can probably expect a couple of phone calls to his AAU coach and high school coach next week.
Jamil, get to know your mail man, too.
The 6-foot-8 small forward from Gary, Ind., is a rare breed for a kid his size. He's got a knack for putting the ball on the floor and attacking the basket but what makes him even more intriguing is the fact that he can pull up for a silky smooth jump shot. There aren't a lot of guys his size that can handle and shoot like he does.
Tucker said Indiana, Purdue and Ohio State are recruiting him at the current time.
Tucker scored 21 points in SYF's upset win over the D-1 Greyhounds and put in 11 points and grabbed 6 rebounds during the championship game.
Tucker is an enigma in the fact that he has an athletic body and natural endurance, only briefly coming out of the game in both the semis and finals. It appears that he is learning to spend less time hanging out behind the three point line and not coming up with rebounds or defending with intensity. In flashes
Tucker will attack the basket with
the dribble or defend with intensity. If he would play with that type of effort on a more consistent basis, like his teammate Harangody who plays to exhaustion, hits the bench and then plays again to exhaustion, Tucker could be a five-star player.
