Taking stock

Sporting News, The, July 22, 2005

The varying fortunes of players at the Nike All-American and Reebok ABCD camps:

RISING

Adrian Oliver, PG, Modesto, Calif. This Washington recruit does not make mistakes.

Damion James, F. Nacogdoches, Texas. He has unyielding energy but must devote less time to hunting shots.

Jason Bohannon, PG, Marion, Iowa. He is a complete offensive player--much more than just a shooter--who will thrill Wisconsin fans.

FALLING

Darrell Arthur, PF, Dallas. Considered a top 10 prospect, he got little done the first two days at ABCD.

Marques Johnson, PG, Fort Wayne, Ind. This Tennessee recruit struggled against quick opponents, notably elite junior O.J. Mayo.

Lance Thomas, PF, Fanwood, N.J. He tried to show he can play on the perimeter; therefore, he wasn't active on the boards.
