Baltimore Select players continue to fare well during the college exhibition season

Jaz Cowan - George Washington University (Atlantic 10)

Jaz enjoyed a successful debut at George Washington Universitie's first exhibition against EA Sports. Jaz should fare well in the A-10.

http://gwsports.ocsn.com/sports/m-baskbl/stats/110302aaa.html

Kevin Steenberge - Richmond University (Atlantic 10)

Kevin was a very successful high school student/athlete at River Hill High School in Columbia, Maryland, that is why Richmond is a great fit for him. While out on the summer circuit with Baltimore Select, Kevin showed off his talent and ability to play D-1 ball. In his first exhibition game for the Spiders, Kevin scored 12 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. He is a tenatious rebounder and should be a major impact off the bench for the Spiders. He will be a force to deal with for his A-10 opponents.

Doug Underwood - Youngstown State University (Horizon League)

Doug is starting his second season at Youngstown State and is expected to be one of the best two guards in the conference. He has gained some muscle and should be ready for the long season. As a freshman, he finished top twenty in the Horizon league at 10.4 ppg. He is now ready to assume a leadership role on the team and lead YSU to a successful season. In the first exhibition game , Underwood scored 16 points shooting 6 for 10 from the field.

Gerald Brown and Richard Dorsey face off in scrimmage

Gerald and Joey (Richard) are used to playing side by side. They went 28-0 (State Championship) with Douglas High School last year and then went on and played side by side with us here at Baltimore Select this summer. Today was the first time that they had to go against each other. Gerald Brown is at Hargrave Prep and Joey is now a force at Mt. Zion Prep. This was there first of a few meetings scheduled this year, but I think they know that the next one counts. To see more about the scrimmage, log on to Dave Telep's recruiting site.

Anthony Selected Preseason BIG EAST Rookie Of The Year

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse University men’s basketball freshman Carmelo Anthony was tabbed as the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year. The 6'7 forward from Baltimore was a member of the USA Basketball men’s junior national team, and was a 2002 McDonald’s High School All-American.
The Orangemen were picked to finish third in the West Division according to the 2002-03 BIG EAST Coaches’ Preseason Poll that was released today. SU received 68 points and two first-place votes.

Former Baltimore Select standout is voted preseason First Team

JAMAICA, N.Y. -- St. John's University senior guard Marcus Hatten (Baltimore, Md.) was selected to the first-team Preseason All-BIG EAST Team, it was announced at the conference's annual media day at Madison Square Garden. The Red Storm were picked to finish fourth in the conference's Eastern Division.

Earlier this year, Hatten was one of 50 student-athletes selected to the named to the John R. Wooden All-American Team. The Wooden Award is the most prestigious individual in college basketball and is bestowed upon the nation's best player at an institution of higher education who has proven to his university that he is making progress toward graduation and maintaining a cumulative 2.0 grade point average.

A 6-1 guard, Hatten was a first-team All-BIG EAST selection last year after leading the Red Storm to a 20-12 record and the program's 26th appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

In just his first year at St. John's after transferring from Tallahassee (Fla.) Community College, the same school that produced former SJU standout Bootsy Thornton, Hatten led the team in scoring with 20.1 points per game, the first St. John's player to average at least 20 points since Zendon Hamilton (20.8) did so during the 1995-96 season. He led all players in BIG EAST games, averaging 22.3 points per game in conference action. He finished second on the team in rebounding (5.3 rpg) and led the squad in assists (4.6) and steals (3.3), finishing second in the conference in that category.

Hatten was the recipient of the Haggerty Award, given to the Metropolitan Player of the Year, was named Junior College Transfer of the Year and was a first-team District II selection by the United States Basketball Writers.

The Red Storm open the 2002 season with an exhibition at Madison Square Garden on November 8 against the Harlem Globetrotters.
