More Hass

Hassan Whiteside made an impression this year with his play for The Patterson School in Patterson, N.C. Full of potential and headed to Marshall, the 6-foot-11 Whiteside ranks No. 87 in Rivals final Class of 2009 rankings. Congrats

Juice Flows Past New Heights

Former Eastsider Hassan Whiteside is spending some time in NJ with his family and came back to play in various games and leagues. Here's a little blurb on him from Rivals/NYCHoops.net.

In the third quarter, New Heights would cut the deficit to eight points. However, the presence of Juice's 6-foot-11 center Hassan Whiteside (Patterson School, NC), who will be attending Marshall University next season, was too much for the opposition handle. Whiteside, who finished with a game-high 20 points, dominated New Heights in the paint consistently throughout the second half. "I started dominating later on in the second half," Whiteside told NYCHoops.net

After New Heights trimmed the Juice lead to six points, Whiteside responded inside with a vicious two handed dunk on which he was fouled. Whiteside converted the three-point play to put the Juice All-Stars back up by nine. They would lead again by double-digits as they cruised easily to a 15 point victory.

Top Frosh at Hoop Group Top 100

Tariq Carey (pictured) of Newark Eastside is one of two Raiders on our list of the top 5 freshmen we saw at the Hoop Group Elite Metro Top 100. On Monday and Tuesday night the Hoop Group held their Elite Top 100 at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Hackensack. Close to 150 prospects, the majority from New Jersey were participating. There was a good mix of different grades involved from seniors to a few really good younger players. While we were there both nights we didn't get to see everyone we felt it was still worthwhile to mention those players that impressed us.
