McCullough shows that he's legitDuring the early part of the evaluation period, one of the guys who made a big splash was 2014 combo forward Chris McCullough. On Saturday, he proved that his run at Hoop Group Elite camp was no joke.
In an era where young players like McCullough already play in front of gigantic throngs of coaches, it was interesting to see the versatile, long and athletic 6-foot-8 forward put in serious work in front of a grand total of one college coach, an Iowa State assistant.
But, coaches do know about the Team Scan 15's star and have already been getting in regular contact. Among those already interested are Georgetown, Syracuse, St. John's, Florida, Iowa State, Providence, Villanova and Connecticut.
A native New Yorker who is prepping at the Salisbury (Conn.) School, McCullough showed against the Team Detroit 15's why he's next in a dazzling 20 point outing. His quickness was high level, he finished well above the rim and through defenders, he showed promise as a ball handler and shooter.
His class has yet to be ranked by Rivals.com, but McCullough is putting a legitimate claim to five-star status.
