  • Hottest College Recruit is Jamaican

    <DIV id=relatedcontainer><DIV class=horizfade id=related><P class=headlinetop>LAS VEGAS, NEV. - The younger division of the Main Event has some hidden gems peppered about the field of teams. Rivals.com strolled out to Green Valley High School and checked out talented class of 2008 prospect Samardo Samuels and uncovered a couple of guys that are emerging on the national scene.

    Elite 2008 big man shines

    Life for Samardo Samuels in the last year has been interesting. The 6-foot-9, 235-pound center from Jamaica left his homeland and moved to the New York area. Since then, he's attended the Nike Hoop Jamboree and the Nike All American and shined.

    Here at the Main Event Samuels did what he does best for Team Odom. The big man dominated the paint on both sides of the ball. He was showing off great post moves, using his body to power over and through defenders and has incredibly soft hands. Samuels played with Jamaican National team last year and his time spent against guys much older than him and it shows. Not bad for a class of 2008 prospect that's getting used to the American style of play.

    Samuels will play at St. Benedict's in New Jersey this coming school year. Coaches start sending your literature. He's a high-major kid. Samuels said he's hearing from
    Connecticut, Pitt and "so many others, I just don't remember." St. John's was in the house for the morning game to see the big man go to work.

    Samuels had 16 points and double digit boards against the D.C. Blue Devils. The game got ugly and didn't live up to the billing but it was good seeing just how good Samuels is and getting an idea on just how good he can become.

    Props to American assistant Jason Williford and St. John's assistant Fred Quartlebaum for finding the best obscure game on paper on Monday. They were at the Team Odom-D.C. Blue Devils game from start to finish.
