Info on one of Caliste’s teammates: Quincy Miller - 2011 F prospect

[QUOTE][URL=http://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=8&c=1&nid=3959638]Quincy Miller[/URL], PF, Quality Education Academy – Long term this is a heck of a prospect. At 6-foot-8, Miller is blessed with a pair of long arms and a slight frame. Already active inside, once Miller adds strength he’ll be a force in the paint. Miller’s skill set is impressive. He’s already developed moves inside and is versatile enough to spend time on the wing. [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Quincy Miller - Whether or not he ends up on the Kansas radar long term remains to be seen, but Townsend did get a good look at the nearly 6-8 sophomore in Coral Springs on Friday. A potentially game changing athlete, the Chicago native is now attending Winston-Salem (NC) Quality Education Academy where he’s proving to be a quality long term prospect. A playmaker at the rim who is equipped with a pretty good looking jumper, Miller is long, lean and has another two and a half years of high school to add needed polish. Where he goes from here remains to be seen, but there’s little question that he’s got the tools to turn into a potentially big time prospect in what is shaping up to be a terrific class of 2011 nationally.[/QUOTE]

scout.com blurb on Calliste

[QUOTE]Jason Calliste, SG/PF, Quality Education Academy – As one of the guys that helped his stock the most in July, Calliste has a number of college coaches following his every move. In Coral Springs, he spent majority of his time playing on the ball, and at times he looked uncomfortable running the spot and was forced into turnovers. He is, however, a valuable long-range shooter. He scored 20 points in QEA’s double-digit win. [/QUOTE]

Nice find. I still don’t know where the heck that school is. That website is kinda creepy too.

Looks like somewhere in Northeast Winston.

It’s more then a little creepy, Quality Education School/Basketball Cult!

per ESPN.com - note they have him listed as a PG, not a 2G

[QUOTE]Evaluation

December, 2008: [URL=http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=55770&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fncb%2frecruiting%2ftracker%2fplayer%3frecruitId%3d55770]Jason Calliste[/URL] is a smooth combination guard that can rebound and push the ball on the pass or the dribble and run the half court offense. He is a good ball handler and passer in traffic. Calliste can draw a second defender and kick to an open teammate. He also knocks down the open three with regularity. Calliste is steady, plays under control and is very productive on the perimeter.

July, 2008: Calliste has good range on his jumper, consistently converting from 3-point range. He also has the quickness that allows him to get to the rim off the bounce. Calliste becomes an even better offensive threat if he exercises better shot selection and not settle so much for 3’s in addition to cutting down on his tendency to over-dribble and get himself into trouble.[/QUOTE]

gotta get this guy. Has to be one of the best guards left uncommitted. Hopefully he knows who will be playing in our front court.

This guy is a must-sign.

He’d be huge for us if he wants to play PG.

Calliste is in Charlotte this Tuesday.

Calliste is in Charlotte this Tuesday.

Does anyone know how he did?

Saw this article in scout from December:

“I can play the one or the two, it doesn’t really matter. I’m comfortable at both.”

(His stats look good for a PG, particlularly assists)

Thus far he’s been to Western Carolina, [B][COLOR=darkgreen]Charlotte[/COLOR][/B], Marshall and Chattanooga. Other visits will happen. “I want to visit [B]Rhode Island, VCU[/B] and that’s about it right now. I like those two schools.”

Rivals lists offers from Chattanooga, Rhode Island, Charlotte and Marshall.

I’m really surprised that, for his ranking, there is no Big 6 school chasing after him.

i was thinking the exact same thing. look at all the ‘names’ on that list.

marshall? chattanooga? vcu? [I]decent-ish[/I] but not ucla, gonzaga, marquette, etc by any means.

UConn, Marquette, Arkansas, Providence, USF, and Wake Forest are listed as ‘medium interest’. But none have offered, at least according to rivals.

Our chances may depend on how much he wants to play the one versus the two. We don’t need a two, assuming Shamarr has no more problems.

Thanks Survivor, now when one of them swoops in and takes him to ride the pine for 3 maybe 4 years I don’t have to act so surprised.

Man do we need this guy!

If we land Calliste, then this team will become frighteningly good!

Bowden, Calliste, Braswell, Phil, AnJuan, Dew, Spears, DiJuan, Javarris, Coleman…

I like it!
