Sorry I should have said that Julian is Bryce Aikens brother. The upstate kid looks pretty good though.

The 2016 class is loaded beyond loaded in the city, that might actually be the class to bring NYC back , there's a plethora of public school talent, at least 15 division 1 probable guards in the psal alone then you got guys like devonte and Nehimiah Boone in catholic school. Then you got kids like unique who are form the 5 Boros who is out of state right now. Btw I attended a jv cardoza game tonight ( they have 3 top 100 kids on the jv team class of 2016) this kid ray salnave shows me new tricks every time I see him and I'm warming up to 6'5 Andrew whisenant 2016 #97 he's gonna be special .

Any kid who has college aspirations would leave the PSAL for a prep school whether a basketball player or not, can't blame a kid and their family if they choose this route. It helps their future. It's just unfortunate because the fans of high school ball can't watch them play.

Agreed, or as I said it could cause a resurgence in NYC , which is much needed

I sure hope so, the public schools fail the kids though in every big city for the most part. It's sad. Would love to see the days where you have a city all star list similar to the 1980's whether in the PSAL or CHSAA.
We yearn for the days where every year almost 10 guys would go to high Div 1 from many different high schools

In defense of the public schools, I've had 3 kids graduate NYC high schools (all three at Cardozo). The older two (girls) excelled academically. One graduated G'town Law and the other is finishing her PhD at St. John's. My son barely got by and is muddling through college. Same school, same teachers, different results. Their friends are on similar paths as they are. The girls have very successful friends, while the boy has peers who are walking his same path.
The point is that you get from a public education only as much as you are willing to take. Many kids enter with low expectations and work ethic and, in the end, come out with a terrible education. Other kids, in the same school, will push themselves and achieve. Too many kids, athlete or not, put in no effort. There are many prob;lems with the school system in NYC, but that is not the only reason these kids are failing.

How To Split A Trap In A Pick And Roll By 15 Year Old Bryce Aiken Of Pope John XXIII (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za7cjVhSg54#ws)
-
Yup that's bryce
-
A 5-8 freshman dynamo, Bryce Aiken started at point guard from day one and improved every step of the way, averaging 16.3 points and 7.1 assists per game this season. Aiken scored every which way, as evidenced by his 50 3-pointers and 142 free throws. He led Pope John to a record of 20-8 and the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament championship.
Hasson had a feeling about Aiken because he knew his two older brothers were high school standouts currently playing in college. Kyle Aiken, who was at Seton Hall Prep and Randolph, plays at Lincoln, while Julian Aiken plays at Assumption. Julian led the state in scoring last year at Randolph.
“Tony said Bryce was interested in coming because of the academics,’’ Hasson said. “He loved the school when he visited. It’s probably the closest to his home in Randolph, so once he decided, I went to see him play at Good Shepard Academy.
“After seeing him play, I had a good feeling he was going to be special. Then in a summer league game with the Hoop Group, he scored 48 in a game. I had an idea he would be our starting guard.’’
When 6-9 Jermaine Lawrence, the state's top senior recruit, had his season cut short by an injury, Aiken was asked to lead a team that consisted of five underclassmen.
Not only did he do that, he was at his best in the big games.
“That was the thing,’’ Hasson said. “The bigger the game, the better Bryce played. He was just unreal.’’
As for next year and the future, Hasson said the sky is the limit.
“When the season ended, I told the kids to take a week off,’’ Hasson said. “But Bryce said no, he wanted to get back into the gym right away. He’s already working on getting bigger and stronger.
“His family is very tall, so if he grows to be 6-0 or 6-1, who knows how far he can go. When I was an assistant at St. Anthony, Myles Mack (Rutgers) was one of my favorites. Bryce has the potential to be as good or better than Myles.’’

Man this is a point guard right here. Thats from his sophomore year and as a small kid he will on;y get better just from strength and maturity alone.
Anyone who's seen Bryce play within the last year who can speak on his game?

Hope we are next

Sounds like he is really academic oriented.
-
I thought he was destined to play with one of the Hurleys. Bobby was on him early and it now at a school that is the appropriate level for a guy like Aiken. Danny was on him early as well. I haven't seen anything about either Hurley showing interest recently.
I like him. Smart kid, tight handle, good shot, and a rare pure PG in the area for 2016...combo city. A little undersized but his brothers were bigger and he looks young physically.

Pangos All-American Camp
per Rivals.com:
Often times the guy feeding Leaf the ball was point guard Bryce Aiken. The No. 130 player in the class of 2016, Aiken might even be a bit smaller than his listed 6-foot and 160 pounds, but he doesn't play like somebody who lacks size. He's a tough kid who shared the ball and knocked home open looks.
