Rysheed Jordan - PG - Vaux Roberts - Philadelphia, PA - ST. JOHN'S

Excitement abounds and wit good cause.
But lets remember that PG is the hardest position to master in D1 ball. We only had one frosh who excelled from day one: EB.
Just sayin hope fo the best but keep them expectation in perspective.

Cook?

I thought Cook was terrific as a freshman. He had a supporting cast of guys who dramatically overrated, out of shape and injury prone. Plus a coach who wasn't very nice.

Choz, no love for Omar ?

I agree, the toughest position is the pg next to a true center, but if lavin visioned yr 3 to be the yr we make the big step, the players next to Jordan should be able to make him a better player as is he, going to make them better.

April 28; Ish Wainright playing as well.
The Capital Classic is the longest-running high school all-star basketball game in the country.

Several of the nation's top players will participate in this year's event.

Joining Johnson on the U.S. squad will be recent St. John's commit Rysheed Jordan (Voux,Phila,Pa /St,John's), Pittsburgh recruit Mike Young (St. Benedict's Prep/Newark, N.J.) and Florida State recruit Xavier Rathan-Mayes (Huntington Prep,Huntington, W. Va.) among several others.

The Capital All-Star team includes North Carolina State recruit BeeJay Anya (DeMatha) and a pair of Villanova commits in Josh Hart (Sidwell Friends) and Kris Jenkins (Gonzaga).

Omar Cook excelled from day 1, imo.

I think you made a mistake redmen. This is the Omar Cook thread I believe.

I'll be at the game again this year.  I'll give my review of Rysheed and some of the other players.  Kris Jenkins will be the MVP, raining threes from all over the arc.

It appears that Jordan and two other players were not there. This once respected tourney has really gone down. Once played at Capital Center, it is now held at a HS facility.

I remember that Tourney in the late 80's.  As a High School All-American game it was rivaled only by the McD's AA.

I remember the famous class of 1988, considered by many to be one of the great high school class of all time: Mourning, Billy Owens, Laettner, Malik Sealy, Chris Jackson.  They all were in the Capital Classic played at the old Cap Center in Landover where the then Washignton Bullets (now Wizards), Capitals and Hoyas use to play.

Now I think the Jordan Classic has sort of surpassed the CC as the "other" premiere high school AA game.

The Dapper Dan Roundball Classic was another good one if I recall correctly. Was definitely televised and I remember some big names in there. Not sure if it even exists anymore.

The fact that it is held at a High School is not for the reason you indicated.  It was originally switched to high schools in the area from Cole Field house because it was thought to give a recruiting advantage for schools to host it on campus.


I was at the Cap Classic from the 90s on through to last year, missing some along the way to other commitments.  But I did see LeBron James play at the Verizon Center in 2003, all the Terps recruits last year, as well as many future local HS players committed to the Terps when they played in the 90s.


Last year's classic at TC Williams was a blast. All the Terps commits (5 at the time - SC Jr got Prop Joe'd since then) took photos for Terps fans, and Montrez Harrell was a lot of fun to watch.  I was looking forward to Rysheed playing, but alas....

Ive seen every episode of the Wire multiple times, but I still can't figure out what you mean when you say a guy was Prop Joe'd.  Little help?

A lot of optimism here...anyone concerned about him qualifying?
