They dominated Detroit, Michigan Public High School Scene while a Close Friend by the Name of Chris Webber was dominating in the Suburbs in Beverly Hills, Michigan Detroit Country Day School.
Led by C-Webb's Best Friend in the D and Neighborhood Sidekick the Detroit Southwestern HS Prospectors.had all the Big Time Division Schools Coaches hanging out at Southwestern the 1990-91 Season. What they saw was a Future NBA Point Guard, Sniper, and Point Forward and Stretch Big Guard.
They were led by a Former UM Wolverine Basketball Assistant and Detroit Mercy University Head Coach Perry Watson. The Players were Point Guard Howard Eisley, Sniper Voshon Lenard, and Point Forward Jalen Rose. Yes C-Webb was 1991 National Gatorade Player of the Year and Consensus #1 Player in the Land that 1990-91 Season. The Real D also had the Southwestern Prospectors running through the State of Michigan like a Wolverine or Spartan through the Big Ten and can I say that.
Rose was a Nationally rated Top 15 Player and Lenard was a Top 40 Nationally. Eisley was also in the Top 100 around the 70s in most circles. Where did Southwestern Prospectors Big 3 move onto in the College Ranks?
VITALS
Jalen Rose 6'8" PG/SG/SF/PF : Jalen went onto to join his HS Coach Perry Watson and Current SDSU Aztecs Coach Steve Fisher to the University of Michigan and create the Fab Five and also take Neighborhood Friend C-Webb with him. Rose turned down Jim Boeheim and Syracuse among others. He could do it all Rose could the Point, Rebound, Shoot it from the Arc, Crazy Handle for someone 6'8", and Mid-Range and Post game to boot...the complete HS Player and the only Big Mac from Southwestern that year.
Voshon Lenard 6'4" Sniper: Voshon was the Quiet Assassin on the Squad as smooth as he wanted to be and then you look at the Stats after the game he hit you for 25 out of nowhere. He chose Former DePaul Standout Clem Haskins and the Minnesota Gophers over Sparty and others.
Howard Eisley 6'3" PG: He ran the Show but was sneaky good and a Perfect Compliment for Rose and Lenard. A knockdown Shooter, sneaky Dribble game off the bounce, Mid-Range, and the most Fundamentally Sound of the Trio. He chose to go Big East and Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts and the Boston College Golden Eagles under then Coach Jim O'Brien. At B.C Eisley joined PF/C Bill Curley of Duxbury, Mass another Big Mac to become a Potent 1-2 in the Big East.
NBA VITALS
Rose #13 in Round 1 1994 to Nuggets had a 13-Year NBA Career
Lenard #46 in Round 2 1994 to Bucks had a 12-Year NBA Career
