The National Recruiting for Men's College Basketball is over at least for the Top 100 Schoolboys. In March the BLUEDUDE reported a Top 10 unsigned, and 2 top 30's. Now moving forward they are signed and ready to go.

From the ESPN Top 100....Three of the nations Best Top 30 Schoolboy Hoopers:

Note: National Ranking in front of Student-Athlete.......from ESPNU 100 Class of 2012

#7 PF Anthony BENNETT FINDLAY PREP Henderson, Nevada:  He stayed where he went to HS at in Sin City., He joins the UNLV Runnin' Rebels and he is arguably their highest HS Recruit ever. That includes the likes of Stacey "Spider-Man" Augmon, Larry "Grand Ma Ma" Johnson, Reggie Theus, Shawn Marion, H Waldman, and Freddie Banks.  Other Schools involved wee UK, Florida, and Oregon to name a few.....

#25 SF Amile JEFFERSON FREINDS CENTRAL Philadelphia, PA: It came down to DUKE and NC State in the end and the kid could not say NO to Carolina Blue. Freinds Central is also home to former 'Zona PG Mustafa Shakur and 'Cuse PF Hakim Warrick. Jefferson is the 2nd rated Recruit for Duke as they also got a Sniper out of H-Town Texas.    

#26 PF Tony PARKER MILLERSVILLE GROVE HS Lithonia, GA: I knew once the Domino fell as in @phenom15balla Shabazz Muhammad "the FISH that Saved WESTWOOD" signed with UCLA and @kyleanderson5 had already signed with the Bruins formerly of Paterson Catholic NJ now ST. Anthony's NJ. Parker @tonyparker32 (Twitter handle) had to listen to the pitch both of them gave and I saw it coming UCLA it will be. Ohio State, Memphis, and Kansas were all in the running at the end. Memphis was hoping he would join their Top 20 Recruit in Shaq Goodwin.

Bennett will have an immediate impact in Vegas as you can pencil him at PF for the Rebs. He will be Mountain West Freshman of the year, 1st Team All MWC, and Possibly Mountain West POY...he is that good and you hate to be the Bear of bad News but One and Done.

Jefferson will most likely start at the SF as Duke missed that production from that Spot last season. he is a long, lean, high-flyer with a silky-smooth game. Reminds the BLUEDUDE of former NC State Standout and Bronx, NY ST. Raymond's HS product Julius Hodge but with more weight.

Parker will have to fight for minutes as the Wear Twins (David and Travis) and big Josh Smith of Kentwood WA the Seattle Area. But having Anderson and Muhammad on the Perimeter makes that team at times Height wise look like they are playing in the NBA Pacific Division. Parker needs to get in better shape and be more active but in the Paint near the rim he is lethal. Reminds the BLUEDUDE of former CINCY All-American Danny Fortson of Pittsburgh Shaler Area HS.
