Per Dave Telep (ESPN Recruiting)....  "How players attack evaluation periods"

 Players use the spring evaluation period as a time to build up their reputation and a perfect example is ESPNU 100 SF Amir Garrett (Los Angeles, Calif./Findlay Prep), who was more likely to be seen on a baseball diamond than a basketball court in college heading into spring last year.

However, if he wanted to play big-time college hoops, the CIF player of the year had a small window to make his national mark as a basketball player. The months of April, May and the early part of June were pivotal for him to begin his ascent up the recruiting charts and turn collegiate interest into offers.

The play for Garrett, who at the time attended Leuzinger High School in Lawndale, Calif., started to erupt in April and May on the AAU circuit, which is when most prospects look to catch the attention of scouts in order to get on the radar of the college programs.

However, Garrett needed late May and early June to make his point as a hooper.

"In the spring, what really got me out there was the Pangos Camp and then I got invited to NBAPA Camp," said Garrett. "I played well in the summer against all the top players."

Despite owning hand-written letters from only Montana State and Connecticut last spring (the Huskies signed Donnell Beverly out of Leuzinger two years prior), Garrett was able to finally earn a high-major offer.

Following Pangos camp, Arizona offered him a scholarship.

"They hadn't seen me but I think they saw a video," said Garrett.

While Garrett juggled his basketball expectations and interest, he was shuttling back and forth between AAU and USA Baseball events where he was a pitcher. Most elite college players focus in on hoops only during this time, but Garrett hadn't yet gotten rid of his baseball itch.

Four months following his spring work, Garrett signed with the St. John's Red Storm at the close of the early signing period.

Ok that opening alley oop and that jam by Nick Johnson at the end was completely RIDICULOUS!

Findlay might be able to beat St. John's.

Amir Garrett, Findlay Prep- He's still got some areas in his game where he breaks down and loses an assignment. But, he generally makes up for it. A long and explosive wing scorer, he's gone from a guy who relied on his ability to make things happen on the glass and in transition to a guy who can also drain open looks from out on the floor.

One of the entries on YouTube called Garrett, "Wesley Johnson, Jr." We can only hope, huh?

Right? My word, he is going to be a sick player. And he comes with swagger, too.

I wonder if it's swagger to a fault, though?

Everyone that I've talked to about him say he's a good kid and a clown. I still wish we would have gotten him.

Kob, I want these kids to graduate, and get great jobs. I don't see the NBA in their future.
It's not about being mean, it's about being a realist.

Hopefully, I'm wrong about their talent level, and it really was the coach all along.

Quoted again for truth.
