Villa Angela-St. Joseph's Carlton Bragg heating up: Boys basketball Player of the Year watch for week of March 13, 2014 (poll, videos)

2. Carlton Bragg (NR)

Villa Angela-St. Joseph, junior, forward.

Height: 6-9. Weight: 220 pounds.

2013-14 stats: 18.6 points, 8.9 rebounds per game (current).

One of the things that makes Bragg so tough to defend is that he's a good free throw shooter. He had 14 points from the foul line in the district final win over Warrensville Heights. Earlier this season against Mentor, he scored 16 points from the foul line. His success from the stripe means that defenses have to be extra cautious with how they defend him.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Competing at the adidas Gauntlet session in Indiana this past weekend, Villa Angela-St. Joseph junior Carlton Bragg gave The Courier-Journal an update on his recruiting situation. Included was a candid look at Ohio State's pursuit of Bragg.

"They keep direct-messaging me (on Twitter) that they keep losing Ohio kids," Bragg told The Courier-Journal.

Bragg added that the school that is recruiting him the hardest right now is the University of Illinois.

Since last month's evaluation period, Bragg says that Ohio State, Illinois, Arizona and Kentucky have been in the most contact with him. He also hears from Louisville often.

Speaking on his recruitment by Kentucky, Bragg focused on the school's abilities to get players to the NBA.

"Kentucky, if you go there - I'm not trying to brag or nothing - but it's one and done, regardless," Bragg told The Courier-Journal. "It's success all day."

Not to mention all of the guys in Kentucky's 2014 class who will have Dakari, Lee, Poythress, and the Harrison twins to deal with for playing time. They probably didn't expect that. Any of those guys who stick around after this year and any non-one-and-done players from 2014 will be a problem for the 2015 class.

In the end, my point is that Kentucky may become a tougher place to go one-and-done from just because you don't have as much opportunity to develop your skills in game situations, and less time to display them.

I agree, it is going to be hard for KY to continue to cycle 1 & done players the way they did in 2010 and 2012. They have too many returning players now and that will slow down the cycle. But still they have that perception that if you want to be 1 & done, they're the spot.
