Mater Dei v. St. Patrick on ESPNU Right Now

[trinity92]

Matchup of #1 and #2 HS teams in the country, and a chance to see UNC recruits Dexter Strickland (St. P) and the Wear twins (MD), not to mention other high-major recruits.

Strickland is impressive thus far with assists and defense.

Didn't see the game, but came across these results. Looks like Mater Dei's Gary Franklin, who has announced for USC, had a big game. The Wear twins had 13 points between them. Based on information and reports I've seen, the Wears aren't (yet, at least) at the level of the other 2009 Duke/Carolina big man recruits---Ryan Kelly, Mason Plumlee, and John Henson.

That's good!

Kelly, Plumlee, the Wear brothers and UNC signee McDonald played on the U18 USA team last summer. As I recall, Kelly and Travis Wear played well and garned more playing time than the other three. The fact that they all made the team following competitive tryouts and they were recruited by Duke and UNC tells me that all five are top players.
