Marshall Plumlee has improved a lot since the last time I seen him play about a year ago. He has now progressed to the point to where he can knock down the 15-17 foot jumpshot on a consistent basis. He still needs to get stronger but, he recognizes that fact and is working on it. At the Take 5 Classic in Cincinnati there were many coaches on hand to watch Plumlee, including Tubby Smith, Tom Crean and a bevy of other high major coaches and assistants.

Full Court Preps Writer David Money was able to catch up with the developing post player and ask him about a number of topics including where he stands in the recruitment process:



After the Interview Plumlee told us that LSU has also offered him a scholarship.

On the first day of play at the Take 5 classic Vinny Zollo showed why he is going to attend a high major program. Throughout the day he showed flashes of brilliant play. He displayed the ability to score in a number of ways in the post, he also demonstrated a slightly improved ability to handle and pass the ball.

Full Court Preps writer David Money caught up with Zollo and discussed a number of topics, including his recent de-commitment from Kentucky:



Overall, Zollo is a sound player who will be on a division one roster in the next couple of years. The only question at this point is: Who's roster?

Dakotah Euton is a versatile 6'8 power forward out of Scott County High in Kentucky. This kid has a consistent jump shot and is an excellent rebounder. Euton was committed to Kentucky under Billy Gillispie, but opted to de-commit shortly after John Calipari took the helm.

"Coach said that if your not an athlete your not going to play much. So I went ahead and decided to open things back up." Euton recently told us.

This kid is a nice young man and he and his family have been through a lot over the last couple of years. Whichever school lands Euton will be getting a solid rebounder and a kid who can shoot the three very well. Euton is a hustler, who may not be the best athlete, but makes up for that with a high IQ and solid fundamental play.
