Kareem Thomas, a 6'0" point guard out of famed Christ the King High School and the AAU Metro Hawks teams lists Cornell, Iona, Navy, Syracuse, Northeastern, College of Charleston, and Lehigh. “I like Syracuse. That’s my favorite right there. Cornell is my second favorite.”

Antoine Mason, a 6'4" wing out of New Rochelle, NY HS and Metro Hawks AAU lists Columbia, Yale St. John’s, Seton Hall, Providence, Davidson, Texas Tech, College of Charleston, and Farleigh Dickinson. He has no offers or favorites. Mason, who has an average in school of around a 92% and has scored a 1410/2400 on the SAT, will be taking it again. Antoine’s father is former NBA player Anthony Mason.

Will Bartlett, a 6'6" forward from the Collegiate School in New York lists Brown, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, and Iona. He has an offer from Columbia. He has about a 3.5 GPA to go along with a 2210 on his SAT. "I’m hoping some of those Ivy [League schools on the list] are about [to offer].”

Harold Spears, a 6'5" forward out of the Pennington School in Pennington, NJ and AAU Team NJABC lists Cornell, Columbia, American, Catholic of D.C. (D-III), and Navy. He has no offers or favorites. Spears is being recruited for football by Akron (offer), UConn, Michigan State, Purdue, Maryland, Syracuse, Delaware, Villanova, Harvard, and Lafayette, and is undecided on which sport he will pursue. “I’m like 50/50 right now. When it comes to making a decision, my parents [and I] are going to look at every option [for] football and basketball and choose the best option.” Harold, who has a 3.7 GPA and would seriously consider D-III Catholic for basketball.

James Herring, a 6'4" guard out of Philips Exeter Academy in Exeter, NH and AAU Team Lucky NYC lists Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Bucknell and NJIT. He has an offer from Dartmouth and added, “I wouldn’t be surprised if Bucknell offered after this summer.” His favorite is Dartmouth.
