2001 Fullcourt Press Fall Showcase:
Top 48 Juniors Rosters--(Sept. 9, 2001)

This game was set for 1:00 p.m. this afternoon, and thankfully it got started a bit late, so we managed to catch it after dealing with the stuff we had to deal with this morning.  While most of the folks we spoke with raved about the frosh and soph games, if those games were better than the two junior  games we saw, then indeed they must have been phenomenal because this was a terrific game.   We're not going to give individual profiles of the players, but suffice it to say there were some new names and faces we hadn't seen before which stook out, including one young man named Ryan Hynes (6'-7" Jr. F) who has transferred from Paso Robles to Long Beach St. Anthony, and if he isn't playing football there in addition to basketball, then they're missing out on what looks like a good tight end prospect.....Hynes is big, strong and was one of the more pleasant surprises of this game.  Again, we don't have time to write about everyone tonight, but you'll certainly be hearing more about Hynes this season. 

Here is the list of team rosters from the Top 48 Junior game.  Again, as with the other two games, no D-I coaches were present, but there were plenty of fans, more than a few scout types (Clark Francis of HoopScoop, Jerry Freitas from The Caliornia Cage Report, Dave Nahabedian from Networkx, Greg Hicks and Tracy Pierson from PrepWestHoops, Dave Keefer from CaliforniaPreps.com, Mark Mayemura from Recruiting-USA, Frank Burlison and Louis Johnson from FoxSports.com, and SoCalHoops).... and there were also quite a few D-II, III and NAIA coaches in the gym, who weren't prohibited by silly new NCAA rules from being there.  And lastly, Frederick Smith, Jr. from VideoScouting.com was there filming each of the games, so if you're a D-I coach who missed out, you can always purchase a tape by contacting Frederick directly at (310) 523-3935.

We can't tell you that there weren't some additions to these rosters,  but we know that the following players were invited, and played today.
