Some mentions of WAC teams evaluating prospects

Doug Benton and Steve Hu of the Nor Cal Preps staff covered the recent Bay Area Hoop Review and NorCal Community College Showcase events and a few WAC schools popped up in their respective writeups:

* Cole McConnell 6-foot-6 Sacred Heart Prep (Oakland Soldiers 17 Blue) 2012: McConnell is a big target for a spot up shooter. He has complemented his outside shooting with a dribble drive game. He will need it as his twin brothers Reed and Will are on their way UC Irvine and Dartmouth. The younger McConnell has looks from Columbia, Dartmouth, Fresno State, Lafayette, and Princeton.
* Theo Johnson 6-foot-6 W Franklin (Oakland Soldiers 17 Blue) 2012: Colorado, Fresno State, Santa Clara, UC Santa Barbara
* Harold Perry, 6-foot-6, Wing, Alameda JC, Pinole HS, 2012: Perry was an all conference player this past season. He can score from either the perimeter or in the lane. Alameda Coach Myron Jordan believes Perry will definitely be a low DI prospect. Buffalo, CSU Bakersfield, San Jose State, and University of Alabama Birmingham have been in contact.
* Demetrius Bishop, 6-foot-4, Wing, Alameda JC, Stagg HS, 2013: An athletic slasher who is not afraid of contact. Not surprisingly, Bishop may be a better football player as he is a talented wide receiver. Bishop has been getting looks from Fresno State, Georgia State, and North Carolina.
* Tony Gill, 6-foot-9, PF, Cosumnes River JC, Oakmont HS, 2012: Gill plays in the Ryan Anderson mode of being a power forward that can play both face to the basket and back to the basket. He averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds last season. He is getting Division I looks from CSU Fullerton, Loyola Marymount, Portland State, San Jose State, and UC Davis as he is academically qualified with a 3.80 GPA.
