6 St. Anthony, Jersey City, N.J. 28-1 Returning starters: five.
Overview: Six players, led by all-state G Mike Rosario (Rutgers recruit), signed national letters-of-intent. Pittsburgh-bound PG Travon Woodall averaged nine points and 3.7 assists for a team which reached the Non-Public North B final. F Dominic Cheek, 6-6, is one of the nation's premier juniors.
Keys to success: Stifling man defense should overcome no true post player.
Opens: Dec. 14 vs. Create Charter (Jersey City).
15 LeFlore, Mobile, Ala. 32-3 Returning starters: one.
Overview: Marquette-bound 6-5 guard Nick Williams averaged 16.7 points and 12 rebounds in the post, but he's back to perimeter where he shoots 50%. DeMarcus Cousins, a 6-10 transfer, is a major talent and is likely ticketed to the NBA after one year at UAB. The Class 6A champions are 125-16 in the last four seasons.
Keys to success: Coach Otis Hughley favors transition with his team shooting "at least every 11 seconds."
Next: Friday vs. McGill-Toolen (Mobile).
How did UAB get a serious NBA prospect and a post player to commit? That seems crazy...
Notice the keys to success for St. Anthony's?
Good to hear Tyshawn has a good feel for the type of attack Marquette employs. ;)

I imagine the kid wanted to stay close to home (especially if he's only going to be in college for 1 year)...and Mike Davis is a great recruiter. Terrible coach, but great recruiter.

They didn't yet. UAB is just the leader for Cousins, he hasn't committed anywhere.
