Mid-HIgh Major

Karam Moshour, G (6-foot-5)

2011, Impact academy, Las Vegas

Las Vegas Prospects

Unquie type of player. Lanky Euro player who plays athletic and shoots the ball. Has not yet put it all together. Foot work and finishing in transition are his grey areas. Good frame and should be a handful if he continues to develop.

2012, Bishop Gorman High, NV.

Double Pump 2012 Elite

Pump N Run Freshmen

A rebounder with a mid range jumper. What sets this forward apart from the rest of his peers is his Vertical. He is explosive to the 10th power! At this point Pflueger is an undersized 4. Excellent prospect that should develop into a high major with more refined skill development.

Check out Stats from Last 5 Games-

Eat Session.1 was a complete success. We had a star-studded turnout for the our 1st private E.A.T-session that included top local and national high school stars. E.A.T was broken down into three segments which jump started with Korey Goodwin, who is an ultimate world class performance specialist with NBA, MBL, NFL, PGA, LPGA and ATP clientele. Korey has trained numerous pros and also gets college athletes ready for the next level. Korey comes to the EAT Group as a proven Professional trainer that has incredible communication and mentoring skills. The 2nd segment was led by Coach Goss who comes to us with over 30 years of basketball experience which includes playing professionally in England and being an accomplished trainer and coach. Coach Holmes brings a vast array of knowledge in marketing, promoting and skill development expertise to our EAT Group. The drills consisted of a few NBA shooting drills that even exposed some of the better shooters in the city. We ended the E.A.T session.1 with an attack drill that had players matched up one on one which brought the 2 hour session to an end. E.A.T Session1 was such a success that we have decided to add an open E.A.T session. E.A.T Session.1 attendees will get first available spots. There will be a total of 50 spots for those of who want to compete at a high level. E.A.T session.2 sign-ups are now available and you can sign up with just an email to christian@PremierBall.com.

The 1st E.A.T session went off with a BLAST! Here are the list of names that were in attendance (Bishop Gorman)Shabazz Muhammad, (Bishop Gorman)Rashad Muhammad, (Coronado)Bryan Glenn, (Foothill)Zach Ginter, (Cimirron-Memorial)Kevin Olekaibe, (Foothill)Tyland Copeland, (Basic)Vince Carducci, (Desert Oasis)Anthony Lianzo, (Bishop Gorman)Gio Guzman and (Foothill)Tyler Roberts.

E.A.T Session.1 highlights started off with Kevin Olekaibe and Shabazz Muhammad displaying there accurate jump shots as both were high scorers in the first NBA shooting drill that consisted of 18 moving jump shots that tested conditioning, form and accuracy. The 2nd shooting drill Kevin Olekaibe continued to dominate as he proved that its not a fluke why he is the top scorer in the state of Nevada. Sharp shooter (Basic)Vince Carducci lit up the 2nd drill and answered all questions to why he was invited to the private E.A.T. In-fact we placed Vince Carducci on theLIST for his efforts and talents from the workouts. Freshmen talents Rashad Muhammad and Foothill transfer Tyler Roberts finished in the upper tier as well. Both players are 6’3 1/2 long and lanky and will be big time talents if they continue to put in consistent hard work. (Foothill)Tyland Copeland dominated defensively on the attack drill and showed why he is one of the best defenders in the city.(Coronado)Bryan Glenn was the surprise of the session. Glenn who is every bit of 6’10 and runs like a gazelle and has a stroke out to 23 feet with touch. Not too sure why he is not being utilized for the Coronado Cougars. Glenn is another kid we added on theLIST because of his potential and skill set. Every player that worked out in E.A.T session.1 was a talent and we will continue to see these kids blossom throughout the year. The E.A.T Sessions is powered by PremierBall.com and there will be a write up after every E.A.T Session along with video, phone and email communications with college coaches. We thank all that attended the E.A.T Session.1 & we look forward to seeing you @ E.A.T Session.2!

The EAT group will expand quickly and is open to the ages or 9th-12th. We will break the groups down to several skill set groups and leave the elite players in the Private E.A.T. group & the rest in the Open E.A.T group.

Premierball introduces you to the top three unsigned players in the 2010 class.

John Lloyd, Evan Roquemore & Kevin Olekaibe and are considered to be the best un-signed seniors in the 2010 class.

We have listed all their updated recruiting, recent game highlights, achievements from the last week and what sets them apart from each other as they all play the point guard posistion.

All three players have the ability, skills and desire to play anywhere from mid to high level basketball and can be impact players in the right system by their sophomore years.

All three elite prospects are  full qualifers and have great character. Coaches you cant go wrong with either candidate.

these three guards they all can play and will compete against anyone in the country. Included in the artcle are two live interviews I did with the players on Sunday afternoon where I had to catch them on there days off in a basketball gym during their two hour workouts. Thats what I call real dedication. Here is the up to date scoop on Las Vegas’ unsigned top college prospects. To see LIVE interviews click on this link here. http://www.premierball.com/player-tracker/

John Lloyd, Point Guard(5-foot-8)
2010, NV/ Bishop Gorman

Recruiting Updates:

Webber St. [private_premier-bronze] Cal Poly, NAU, UC Riverside, UNLV

Playing Status-

Last week led Bishop Gorman to a championship victory that landed him an MVP trophy at a national holiday tournament in South Carolina the “Beach Ball Classic.” Depending on what night he laces up he will give you 20 points or 12 assist, he lets his mood pick the poison. Several schools have been calling the Gorman lines since his return from the Beach Ball Classic and his name is buzzing all over the place from several universities. We will update this article once we get the official release of new schools for Lloyds’ services. Watch his recruiting continue to soar with the ball in his hands for the rest of the year and with the best group of talents on the west coast.

Comparisons: He is quicker than the three guards getting up and down the court but in Lloyds’ case he is probally one of the quickest points in the country. Blazing speed that I have only seen in Corey Joseph. Loves to make “the play” and has a heart of a warrior in 300. Defense is his ace card. See teaser clip-

Evan Roquemore, Combo Guard(6-foot-3)
2010, NV/ Foothill

Roquemore had a good showing at the Desert Heat Invitational where he showed he had the athleticism to play well against top elite talent. Took his team to the champaionship game vs Harvard-Westlake where he recorded 35 points, 5 assist, 6 rebounds and had a strong showing against King(Riverside)in an impressive win. His stat line was as follows 25 points, 4 assist, 5 rebounds. Evan’s game is very poised and he picks and chooses his time to score and carry the team. Shoots the ball very well and compliments his shot with good dribble penetration pass or the pull up. See teaser clip-

Recruiting Updates:

Air force Academy, Ball State, Princeton and UNLV.

comparisons: He is the most athetic of the three as far as vertical and finishing above the rim(360 Slam in game). Roquemore might have the best upside. He is a year younger than the rest of his peers, should be a Jr. and looks to still be growing. Versatility is his ace card.

Kevin Olekaibe, Combo Guard(6-foot-2)
2010, NV/ Cimarron-Memorial

Just came off of an impressive Sierra Vist tournament and is on fire. The better scorer out of the three and can flat out put the ball in the hoop. Has a strong handle and shoots off the catch and the dribble. Plays the scoring role on his team but has the skill-set and the knowledge to manage a team. Olekaibe is a sneaky athlete and will over the top on you in a heart beat. Works out with a few NBA players on the side and is a real gym rat. This kid is a winner and doesn’t back down. Has recorded four- 50 point games this year. See teaser clip-

season averages 37 points,  5 Rebounds, 5 Assist

Recruiting Updates:

South Florida, Gonzaga, UNR, Washington St, Bradley, Fresno St and Indian St.

Comparisons: The better shooter out of the three and better scorer. Loves to put the ball in the hole at a good percentage and will look for the pass and not force. Ace card is his killer approach to the game with an array of scoring weapons and the poise to play the point at the next level.
