2015 6’9″ Kyle Alexander
dddAlexander has all the tools but does he have the tool box? He has all the intangibles to rebound and block at an Anthony Davis NBA level rate. Alexander boasts an astronomical wing span and his incredible length and ability to get off the floor multiple times in succession set him up perfectly as a natural shot-blocker on defense and as a target for lobs on offense. What truly separates Alexander from Anthony Davis though, is the intensity, emotion and passion with which he approaches the game.
Alexander’s recruiting is rumored to be a two way race between St. Bonaventure and Wake Forest. Orangeville Prep head coach Larry Blunt reiterates how scary the potential of this Milton, ON big man is.

Another name we have been involved in now doing a prep year - Travis Atson 6'5 Video: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=y8A3ED4pqXENovember 24, 2014 NPS: Atson shines once again Eric Bossi NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- On Friday, junior shooting guard Travis Atson was a pleasant surprise at the National Prep Showcase. On Sunday, he proved that Friday's performance wasn't a fluke as he took his game up to another level and made himself the event's breakout performer. Atson impresses On the first day of the National Prep Showcase, junior wing Travis Atson did a lot of nice things for South Kent (Conn.) Prep. But, when a relatively off-the-radar guy has a big game, you would always like to see him replicate that performance. Junior guard Travis Atson has a big weekend. Sunday, the 6-foot-5 junior did more than that as he surpassed his 24-point and seven-rebound outing from Friday by going for 31 points and seven rebounds to help lead his team to a win over Vermont Academy in a knockdown, drag-out affair. This wasn't a case of a guy just jacking up a bunch of shots, either. Atson was a very efficient 12-20 from the field (1-2 3PT) and 6-7 from the free throw line. Most of his buckets came via attacks off the dribble. He either drove into the lane for huge slams -- he had the crowd going crazy with a transition play where he wrapped the ball around the back to split defenders and finish with a two-hand dunk and then two plays later he slammed over a 6-foot-10 center on a drive down the lane -- stopped and popped from the mid range and also converted on tough baskets around the rim. Heading into the NPS, Atson mentioned that he had offers from programs such as Duquesne, St. Bonaventure, Iona, Sacred Heart and Fairfield, but action has already started to pick up. DePaul offered based off of what it saw, and he added an offer from Towson. Xavier reached out, and more will undoubtedly be checking him out in the near future. Atson still has a season left to show that his huge weekend is something that he can replicate, but as it stands he has established himself as somebody high majors need to take a look at.

Atson's dunk over the big guy really embarrased the kid.......I may have to drive up to South Kent to see a game.....about 20 miles.

Hoops Hype Canada @hoopshypeca 17h17 hours ago As per source, St. Bonaventure Bonnie's emerging as front runner for Orangeville Prep starting C 6'9" Kyle Alexander #HS #CdnBallers
Getting closer on this - he has pro potential as a defensive center - would be perfect fit under our staff playing in A10 conference

Still he is a player that is considered to be "under the radar." Under the radar players is a specialty of Schmidt's staff, but how do they do it every year? Kyle's sister Kayla Alexander is an extremely talented basketball player. She is a WNBA player with the San Antonio Stars. She is Syracuse all time leading scorer (2,024 points). rebounder and several more all time best for Syracuse. www.wnba.com/stars/features/130417_alexander.htmlwww.suathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=9191

Are you sure about Bryant and Miami? I have not heard anything like that nor have I even heard him linked to Miami.
