BIG EAST VISIT UP NEXT FOR KADEEM JACK

Fast-rising 2010 big man of Rice HS in Manhattan will visit Big East power on Saturday

by ZACH SMART

A loaded Team Frenji, decked to the gills with talented players such as Villanova-commit Jayvaughn Pinkston, Oregon State-commit Devon Collier, Jermaine Sanders, Louisville-commit Russ Smith, Kadeem Jack, Jabarie Hinds, and Vermont-bound forward Brian Voekel, escaped with a 100-96 win over Rodney Abrams in the 64th Annual Catholic Youth Program tournament at the Our Lady of Mercy church. The tournament is in fond memory of William R. Gallagher.

To give you a hint of how old and traditional this tournament is: Larry Brown, Donnie Walsh and Lenny Wilkins are among the boat-load of former and current NBA personalities to compete in the event. NBA players and Big East products such as Charlie Villanueva, Randy Foye, Tim Thomas, Ron Artest, Ryan Gomes and Hilton Armstrong have all played in this smurf-sized gym.

One of the next players who could possibly join the impressive list of CYP Tournament alumni in making an impact at the highest levels of the sport is Manhattan Rice High School senior big man Kadeem Jack. One of the hottest spring recruiting targets in the class of 2010 was impressive in the tough atmosphere last night and showed why colleges are coming on strong to try and secure a signature on a letter of intent from him later this spring.
