Kyle Anderson - F - St. Anthony's - Paterson, NJ - UCLA

Here's a writeup in the post about Anderson at Dyckman. I saw on twitter he got the High school player MVP. Also a little bit about McCullough.

And for those who wonder Lavin was watching Gathers tonight.

Per ESPN Recruiting....

Kyle Anderson (Fairview, N.J./St. Anthony)
2012, SF, 6-7, 210 pounds
Anderson made his Vegas debut by returning to the point to run the show for his Playaz squad Friday at the Las Vegas Fab 48. While he was his normal dependable self, handling the ball against pressure and initiating his team's offense, he did a nice job of balancing those responsibilities with his own scoring. He was lethal in the midrange area, using his size and high release to shoot right over contesting defenders, and making good use of a UCLA-style backscreen to free himself. Down the stretch, he was masterful at using his frame to draw contact and earn trips to the free throw line where he helped guide the Playaz to a late comeback win over the Kansas City 76ers.

Kyle's dad has said it's important to them that they see the head coaches at his games. I'm just saying.

Last time around at the Peach Jam, Lavin was at his second game, whereas not many were at that game.  Lavin is at the games.  Can't be at both Ricardo's and Kyle's at the same time and no way to make every game.  I have no worries that his attendance at Kyle's games are any issue.

Yeah, I don't think it's an issue either. Lav knows what he's doing and how to play it.

Exactly!  There was one particular game at the Peach Jam where Robert Kirby (G'town's asst. coach) watched a few minutes of Anderson and then left the gym.  JTIII was nowhere to be found.  Practically, G'town had no one in the gym to watch Kyle for the majority of the game. 

There was one game Howland wasn't available to watch Anderson.  But, a UCLA asst. was present.  Heck!  Donovan showed up pretty late to view Anderson one game (same game, in which G'town's Kirby left very early). 

I can say, I've seen someone on our staff viewing Anderson at all times at the Peach Jam.  I'm sure it's been that way all spring and summer.  There are gonna be games where the head coach may not be available.  Lavin has watched Anderson play many times.  Not to mention, our entire staff watched Anderson play a few times at the Peach Jam.

Lavin has a grip on this stuff. 

Per ESPN Recruiting....

Amile Jefferson vs. Kyle Anderson
This matchup was a battle between two of the premier playmakers in the country who do their damage in very different styles. Jefferson, from Philadelphia, is a pure scorer, lethal in the open floor and incredibly dangerous at the mid-post area. He understands his strengths and gears his attack toward highlighting those attributes in order to be as efficient as possible. Anderson, from Fairview, N.J., is a versatile hybrid who plays multiple positions, creates constant mismatches with his size and skill and makes those around him better with his passing ability. While Saturday's actual matchup included very few possessions where they were literally guarding each other, they did go back and forth in terms of their impact on the game. The game's final minutes belonged to Jefferson who made a big-time move from the left block to score the go-ahead bucket with just under a minute to play and then came up with a huge defensive stop when isolated against Anderson at the top of the key to secure an upset of sorts for his Philly's Finest squad.

I liked Jefferson when I saw him, but the kid is a twig.  He needs to really hit the weights.  Doesn't have to be a big kid, but needs 20lbs.  That 180 he is listed at might be generous. 

And I can't believe they have him listed as a PF.

• Anderson was trailed by all five head coaches still on his list -- Kevin Willard (Seton Hall), Billy Donovan (Florida), Ben Howland (UCLA), John Thompson III (Georgetown) and Stevin(sp) Lavin (St. John's).

Poor Willard.  This list looks looks like an SAT grouping question...which of the following doesn't belong with the rest.

I predict this will be the longest thread in JohnnyJungle history!!!

LOLOL Lavin is so amazing he changed the scheduling to eliminate posts from St. John's fans expressing their concern over his absence from KA and RG's games.

And he's riding an exercise bike that has a swivel. lol

ucla just landed a pg.  has to help us with KA

Great get 4 Ben Howland + UCLA as Dominic Artis is believed to be best PG on West Coast 4 2012. He + Larry Drew will share time in 2012-13.

Thank you Mr Artis.  This can only help.  Wouldn't it be fitting with UCLA landing the west's best PG with Lavin landing the best in the east.  I'd love to have yearly showdown's with the Bruins.

Kareem Canty says SH leads and they have been for a while. How does Willard play this in relation to Kyle?
