I don't think he's that much bigger than those buildings, either ...... Omo maybe.

Texas Jamboree Recap

Powerade Texas Jamboree

The 8th Annual Texas Jamboree featured teams from Austin, Alabama, Dallas, Houston, New York, and San Antonio. Many came from far and wide to show how they ball in their respective cities. The event featured 17 games over the two day period, 20 total teams and several dozen future college basketball prospects. Anyone in attendance witnessed a treat in a variety of games, and to me is a perfect way to cap off any holiday weekend.

Anthony Collins -(6'0 pg 2011 Westbury Christian)- The best point guard in the event without a question. This guy is a winner made play after play on both ends of the floor and kept teammates involved.  Has tremendous floor vision.

Pierre Jackson is by far and away the better option left out there that USF is attached to.

That's a shame because according to the experts he might be the best unsigned JC or HS PG left on the market.

It seems like Collins is the easier target and Heath will settle for him since USF clearly has showed the most interest.

I won't knock Collins because in the right situation he could be a decent to good PG, but he is the wrong fit for USF's style of play. We have a small quick and fast guard that struggles to shoot from the outside but is very effective in transition and attacking defenses before they are set. Obviously going by what we saw last season Collins is going to have a major adjustment trying to play in Stan's offense.

I see a younger Anthony Crater with Collins. Crater learned how to shoot a little from the outside 4 years removed from HS. Collins need to be getting up a thousand shots per day right now and adjust that form on his jumper before playing a game at USF.

Sounds like a done deal.

PG Collins picks Bulls

The University of South Florida men’s basketball team picked up a verbal commitment Saturday from Anthony Collins, a point guard out of Westbury Christian in Houston, Texas.

Collins, rated a 3-star recruit by Rivals.com, was recruited by several Division I programs, among them TCU, Texas Tech, USC, Hawaii, Nebraska and Minnesota. He’d recently narrowed his choices to USF and Baylor and ultimately chose the Bulls over the in-state Bears.

“I thought it was a good place for me. It’s a good coaching staff. It’s a place where I can expand my game and play my game, and it’s a good school where I can get an education also,†said Collins, who said he struggled a bit with the decision to choose a program roughly 15 hours from home over one roughly three hours away. “Yeah, I was really struggling with that. But then my family told me they would come out and see me, and then it wasn’t really a factor. After they said that, I stopped thinking about it.â€

Collins, 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, was a four-year starter at Westbury Christian and enjoyed plenty of success during his prep career. In addition to finishing as the program’s all-time leader in assists, Collins earned first team all-state honors in each of his final three seasons and helped the Wildcats win TAPPS Class 4A state titles as a sophomore and junior and reach the state championship game as a senior.

The Bulls success certainly hasn’t been on that level, but Collins is hoping he can help change that.

“The main goal I want is to just win and to help turn around the program, and I think it’s possible with all the pieces we’re going to have,†Collins said.

Collins will be eligible to sign a National Letter of Intent with USF on April 13, but the Bulls don’t have an available scholarship at the moment. USF coach Stan Heath used both available scholarships during the early period in signing 6-foot-10, 285 pound junior college center Andre Jackson and 7-foot-3, 291-pound prep center Jordan Omogbehin, so Heath is anticipating at least one scholarship player from the Bulls 2010-11 roster won’t be returning to the program.
