Saw Mike play at Hughes tonight and here are my two cents worth.

He's gotten a lot stronger the last two years and certainly has the hops to play at the high division I level. I don't think he has the ball skills to play the three spot and I personally doubt he ever will. He looks like a four to me. With this in mind I think he will need to develop his inside moves and improve his tenacity. He tended to let the game come to him. It may be due in part to the fact it was an all star game. He does seem to have the athletic ability to play for the Cats. He is quick enough and jumps like Maxiell. My prediction is he will likely see significant minutes his junior and senior year. The player he reminded me of is Aaron McGee. Aaron had a little better offensive skills, but isn't as quick. Both have strong left hands, but have difficulty going to their right.

Several other players of interest. His high school teammate Plummer played on the other team and covered Mike part of the game. Plummer has more ball skills and is more fluid. While not as strong as Mike, he showed his ability to get to the hole. He will need to improve his outside shooting to be a complete player, but I think he is a solid division I player right now.

The other player of interest was O.J. Mayo. I don't know if he is an eighth or ninth grader, but he looks as old as Chad Moore. He physically dominated the competition. Looked to be about 6'2+ and could dunk easily. His outside shot was very solid. I would take him as an incoming freshman right now and I think he would contribute right away.

Anyway, I know there were other Bearcat fans there who will have their own opinion. I will be interest to hear what they have to say.
