So, here's what the analyst was saying about our player Jacob before his last season at prep school in NH
Jacob Grandison (2017/Berkeley HS, Cali.)
Continuing with our West Coast theme, Grandison (and his brother, who we'll get to in a second) both had impressive days at the Palestra. Jacob is a 6-6 wing who's an excellent defender, keeping an eye on guards and bigs alike, with terrific instincts; he read passing lanes very well and was able to come up with several easy buckets in transition thanks to his doing so. He also showed shooting range out to the 3-point arc, with a nice stroke that suggests he's got the ability to be a consistent threat from there in college.
Lucas Grandison (2019/TBD)
Jacob might be the better Grandison brother at this point in time, but Lucas certainly could catch him before long. At 6-4, Lucas is more offensively skilled than his brother, a scoring off-guard who can put the ball on the floor and create for himself and his teammates; his best skill is still his ability to shoot 3s, however. Also a plus defender like his brother, opponents found it tough to get around him with the dribble. His frame suggests that he could easily end up as tall as his brother (or taller), but now he needs to start getting stronger to make his size effective when attacking the rim and finishing through contact.

20 will be another huge year with 5 spots to fill unless Perkins red shirts or we decide to try and balance out classes by holding back a scholarship or two

Here is another name
Alex Capitano
Alex Capitano (2020/Episcopal Academy)
The most polished prospect in attendance today, Capitano will transfer to Episcopal this year from Great Valley and repeat his sophomore year. With more experience and a bit stronger frame than most of the other attendees, the usual sharpshooter made it his mission to get to the front of the rim and finish whenever the opportunity presented itself. Capitano had a few above-the-rim finishes in traffic, and showed off the rest of his polished scoring arsenal on a couple tough pull-up jumpers, averaging just under 20 ppg over his team’s three games. An outstanding student, Capitano looks like he could be an Ivy/Patriot priority in the 2020 class and will have the chance to play at a higher level of Division I with continued development.

I'm puzzled. If he is an outstanding student why is he repeating his sophomore year? Shouldn't that cost him a year of HS eligibility?

I don't think there is such a thing as being limited to x years of high school eligibility. Kids reclassify all the time when they switch to a private school, often for athletic reasons. Some states do have rules about age eligibility for high school athletes (can't be 19 on Sept 1 or Aug 1 in the year in which you seek to compete).

I think most states limit high school eligibility to a max of 5years from the start of grade nine. |

I think most states limit high school eligibility to a max of 5years from the start of grade nine. There is a difference between public and private schools..In Mass, students are limited in the numbers of years they can participate, and also by age...However if they are in a prep school, they fall under the guidelines of the prep school. This is why athletes transferring to a prep school can reclassify.. |

In some states, prep schools are in a separate category from high schools (public or private). The years from grade 9 are, IIRC, still counted. Age in NJ comes in because an athlete cannot be 19 before the first day of senior year...one day after school starts are he-she will be eligible.

I presume that if we get a point guard in the junior class, we may not be looking hard among the soph points. Of course we probably will not know until August. But we are certainly recruiting many junior points now.
wonder if Jacob Grandison's brother Lucas played in that tourney
he did not get a mention in the wing or guard article.
We certainly saw the NMH sophs when we went to a recent workout looking primarily at a junior.

There were three kids originally on the 2019 interest list, who have formally re-classed to 2020 - Symir Torrence (Vermont Academy), Tymu Chenery (Dunbar?), and Jarret Griffith (Gould Academy). Presume the coaches knew of their intentions and have been looking at them as 2020s all along.

Presume the coaches knew of their intentions and have been looking at them as 2020s all along. chenery has reclassified, and has actually transferred from dunbar to episcopal (va). he's a long, thin guard who has come a long way and has great potential. we'll probably be battling some of the big boys for his services. www.prephoops.com/2017/09/recruiting-report-tymu-chenery-2020/ p.s. - i agree with the article that it's a loss for dunbar, but they'll reload. the transfers between (chenery began at lake clifton) and out of baltimore high schools is mind-boggling. i think it's true in most big cities, but it's increasingly rare for a high-level player to stay at one high school in baltimore (with a few exceptions, like mt. st. joseph). even our own devin brown started at city high, transferred to calvert hall, and then went prep school before coming to hc. |
