I remember watching that Oak Hill team with Edelin and Caruth and Diop back at the Millennium Cup Tourney in Vegas...whole squad was niiiiice. Damn shame none of em (unless you exclude Diop) panned out in college.
 
WOW Billy Edelin & Pierre Pierce

. Honestly he was too undersized to play a 4 but didn't have the right skillset to play a 3
 
Smh, I was a top 100 player in the class of 2001, now im the manager of a car lot.... SERIOUSLY. Funny how things work out, your forgeting a few players though, Ben Gordon, Hakim Warrick.... 2001 was stacked with talent, however your right in stating the class definetely didnt pan out.

Dude was talking reckless on the Fox Sports Prep show about how Ron Artest was trash and shouldnt be in the league when he was with the Bulls. Where is Najeeb these days?

Who are you?
 
I either played against a lot of these guys, or went to the same camps and tournaments as them, and while they were all ridiculously athletic, you could tell right away who had their heads on straight.

 I was sooo happy the Bucks drafted him. Dude was the real deal at Texas.
 Had some serious back injuries, good to see he's still in the NBA.

He played varsity as a freshman at Young the year I made last cut as a junior. Dude had talent but it seems like it all went downhill after he transferred.
 
Latest update on Dajuan Wagner;

Once New Jersey's brightest basketball star, Dajuan Wagner now prefers obscurity


The dark gym inside Camden’s Henry L. Bonsall Elementary School is a long way from Madison Square Garden and Staples Center, but this is where the best high school basketball player New Jersey has ever produced can be found.

He blends into the crowd in the wooden bleachers, an unassuming figure in jeans and a long-sleeve T-shirt. He thumbs text messages into his cell phone and glances at the action on the court, then turns and drifts into his own thoughts.

Ten years ago, Dajuan Wagner was the biggest name in high school basketball as he finished up a career at Camden High. The scoring machine once netted 100 points in a game and averaged an unthinkable 42 for an entire season. Around town, people christened him the basketball Messiah.

But today, the No. 6 pick of the 2002 NBA Draft is back where it all started, watching youth league games at an elementary school in relative anonymity.

The spotlight that followed Wagner has faded, but it’s hard to tell whether he cares.

Thanks for that article. Dejuan will always be one of my favorite players. He was a freak. I really think he could have been polarizing on the NBA court if not for the injuries. Him and coach Cal brought Memphis back to national attention.
 
Damb, good read on Juanny.

Julius Hodge & Allen Ray did their thing at St. Rays.. I'm mad neither of their NBA careers worked out.. They took the State chip back in 01'.. I had Julius Hodge's locker in school.
